The Department of Islamic History may be regarded as one of the oldest departments of Karachi University. It was established in 1953 with a view to provide facilities for advanced studies and original research in the field of Islamic History and culture. Late Professor Dr. Amir Hasan Siddiqui was the first and founder-Head of the department. Although in the opening phase it had a very limited number of students and very few teachers, yet it attracted the intelligential and subject lovers soon. So much so that it became the 2nd/3rd largest department of the Faculty of Arts in the following years. It still ranks the same. At present there are more than four hundred students on roll in this department. Along with teaching and studies original research work was also carried on during last three decades. Research activities at M.Phil and Ph.D. level are still in progress.
