The vision behind the founding of The Islamia University in the region of Bahawalpur was to establish a great and highly regarded institution for advanced Islamic and modern sciences and arts.

The Faculty of Islamic Learning is the custodian of the great and glorious history and traditions of Jamia Abbasia (now The Islamia University of Bahawalpur). The Faculty continues to play a constructive and effective role in the promotion and dissemination of Islamic and Arabic sciences.
