The Islamia University of Bahawalpur
Bahawalpur ( ): Professor Dr. Muhammad Mukhtar, Vice Chancellor, the Islamia University of Bahawalpur has said that Islam is the most modern religion of the World and Muslim scholars are lagging behind as far as deciphering of technological advancement with Islamic values is concerned. Islam is a universal religion and does not differentiate mankind on ethnic or geographical basis as today human genome study has proved this fact that humans are similar to the extent of 99.99% at molecular levels.
