Introduction – DSL

The Department of Shariah and Law (DSL) is a constituent unit of Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University (STMU), a federally chartered university and has the unique distinction of being attached/affiliated with state-of-the-art and JCI-accredited Shifa International Hospital for clinical attachment, psychotherapy, trainings and other related academic activities. It is well placed in the heart of Islamabad, the beautiful capital of Pakistan. It is envisioned to become an innovative center, focusing on both Shariah and Common Law, which will eventually bring legal experts, scholars, and researchers.

The Department of Shariah and Law was set up in 2023 at Shifa Tameer –e- Millat University Islamabad under the Headship of Prof. Dr. Mushtaq Ahmed, a renowned academician and law expert. LL.B Shariah and Law is the first program being offered, which will cater to the rising demand for trained sharia and law graduates across the country, taking into consideration the growth, development, and awareness of Shariah and Law during the past few years, particularly in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, and the surrounding areas. The basic aim of education at the Department of Shariah and Law is to educate and train young law professionals to have the knowledge and expertise to fulfill their roles in their respective fields. LL.B Shariah and Law program has been approved by the Higher Education Commission, Pakistan Bar Council, and all the statutory bodies of Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University.

A team of qualified teachers is involved in conducting and supervising education, research, and providing counseling services within and outside the department. Our classrooms, moot room, computer lab and law library are well-equipped to meet the instructional and training requirements.
