As an esteemed Alumni of HITEC University Taxila, Mr. Arshad Mahmood, session 2019-20, my journey through the Department of Islamic Studies has been nothing short of transformative. Graduating in 2022 with a specialization in Quranic Sciences and Dawah, I found my passion for Islamic scholarship ignited and pursued it further by enrolling in the Ph.D. program at the same department.

Throughout my academic career, I have been deeply involved in various organizations, honing my leadership skills and contributing to the academic community. Currently serving as a Lecturer at the Department of Islamic Studies, HITEC University Taxila Cantt, I am dedicated to nurturing the next generation of scholars. My commitment to research and scholarship has been reflected in my active participation in conferences and my publication record, with over 05 national and international publications in esteemed HEC recognized journals.

Warm Regards

I joined HITEC in 2011 after completing my A Levels and opted for Electrical Engineering. After passing out in 2015, I entered the world of professionalism.

I began as a Management Business Associate at PTCL before transitioning to Attock Refinery Limited as a Management Trainee. Afterward, I joined Atlas Engineering and Controls as an Assistant Manager (North Division), gaining extensive experience in equipment handling and refining managerial, communication, and technical skills. Despite a layoff due to COVID-19, I persevered and found a new opportunity at Novel, a US-based renewable energy organization. Over 3 years, I progressed to Utilities Manager, showcasing adaptability and commitment to growth in the renewable energy sector.

My inspiration has always been a trust that I have put in; in myself that there is always light ahead of the dark only if you wish to see it. Believe in yourself! Never compare yourself to anyone and always try to be supportive, helpful to others. Because whatever you spread, will make its way back to you! Be honest and find your path!
