The Pakistani Minister held a meeting today with the President of
Religious Affairs of Turkey Prof. Dr. Mehmet Gormez and discussed ways to
further improve relations between their institutions.
Sardar Yousaf said the democratic government of Pakistan led by Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz
Sharif is keen to further improve relations with the brotherly country Turkey in all
areas. He emphasized on the exchange of religious scholars, officials and students
between the two countries. He added that such exchange will benefit both the
countries in learning from the best practices in each other’s countries. “The
purpose of my visit is to understand the Turkish education system and the Imam
Hatip school system in particular,” said Sardar Yousaf.
Prof. Dr. Mehmet Gormez said Turks have great love for Allama Muhammad
Iqbal whose philosophy inspires many till today. He said Iqbal is equally
revered in Turkey
alongwith their national poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy. He opined that the Muslim
world is passing through challenging time and desired that Muslims should stand
united to brace these challenges.
The host offered to open a model Imam
Hatip High
School in Pakistan . Welcoming the offer, Sardar Yousaf thanked
Dr. Gormez for the generous offer and said Pakistan will study the proposal
and shall discuss further modalities to give concrete shape to the pilot
project.
The Turkish model of Imam
Hatip School
is fusion of Islamic and modern education as it contains as much arts and
science classes as normal high schools do. To observe the teaching model, the
delegation during their Turkey
stay will visit relevant institutions.
