After the formal inauguration, he was also given a tour of the campus.

As one of the eminent Muslim scholars of the modern age, and an exceptional teacher his talk was addressed to academicians discussing the ‘responsibilities of an educator and developing educational leaders’. The foundation of his talk was how the Almighty Allah decreed for a human being to find knowledge before anything else to understand the work of God and himself. He added that since the human mind is Allah’s best design, created to seek and absorb knowledge, it is his role to share this knowledge.

Thus, it is even more important for a teacher, who will shape the mentality of the many generations to come, to reflect inwardly and outwardly to develop his knowledge to find the truth and then pass it on. His talk encouraged the attending students and teachers both as he stressed the importance of building a connection between the educator and the learner and for that, the educator must be someone who is kind, truthful and goes beyond the books of the curriculum.
