Ansari inaugurates Quranic centre at Aligarh Muslim University

Vice President M. Hamid Ansari on Monday inaugurated the “Professor K.A. Nizami Centre for Quranic Studies" at Aligarh Muslim University.

In his address, Ansari said: "The occasion also brings to mind two aspects of the Aligarh Muslim University that need to be recalled. It is, in the first place, a university or a place of higher learning in the fullest meaning of the term. It has, secondly, a specific association with the study of the civilisation of Islam."

"Neither is possible without acquisition of knowledge. It also demands quality in the world of today wherein standards are perforce global," he said.

Following is the text of Vice President’s inaugural address:

An Aligarhian needs no excuse to return to the AMU campus to revive memories, recollect moments of joy, introspect on all may have transpired then or since. To someone as old as I am, a less pleasant aspect is the thought of those who are no longer with us.

My visit today, nevertheless, is occasion specific. It is to formally inaugurate the Centre for Qur’an Studies, established in memory of the late Professor Khaliq Ahmad Nizami sahib. I do hope that in the years to come the Centre would contribute significantly to Qur’an studies and become a locus for institutional links with similar centres elsewhere in the world.

The occasion also brings to mind two aspects of the Aligarh Muslim University that need to be recalled. It is, in the first place, a university or a place of higher learning in the fullest meaning of the term. It has, secondly, a specific association with the study of the civilisation of Islam.

Neither is possible without acquisition of knowledge. It also demands quality in the world of today wherein standards are perforce global.

This, then, is the challenge. The Aligarh fraternity - students, teachers and well wishers – need to prepare for the future, to march in step with fellow citizens, to contribute in adequate measure to public good and to benefit from it fairly. The emphasis needs to be on what comes by right, rather than through concessions and largesse.
