Sights/Landmarks/ARCHITECTURE
Islamia College was founded by the personal initiatives led by Sir S.A. Qayyum and Sir George Roos-Keppel in 1913. It is one the oldest institution of higher education in Pakistan, and its historical roots are traced from the culminating point of the Aligarh Movement. The university provides higher learning in fine arts, humanities and modern sciences. In 1950, the University of Peshawar was founded as an offshoot of Islamia College Peshawar, with the latter being associated to the university as a constituent college. Initially established as Islamia College, it was granted university status by the Government of Pakistan in 2008; the word college is retained in its title for preserving its historical roots.
The construction work on Islamia College started in the second half of 1912. The programme of construction included an Arts college, a Dar-ul-Uloom, and hostel, a high school and three hostels, a mosque, and residences for the principal and headmaster. High School which consisted of 26 rooms and one school hostel, were ready before the spring of 1913; and the building before the 1st of October of that year. Mulana Qutab Shah was the first dean of Islamia College Peshawar
