Many connected with the university admit that "seedy affairs had been going on in the holy precincts" for some time. – File Photo
ISLAMABAD: Sex scandals have rocked the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) in recent months, with several faculty and staff members accused of preying upon the vulnerable female students or juniors.
Many connected with the university admit that "seedy affairs had been going on in the holy precincts" for some time. But they did not speak on record.
Acting president Sahabzada Sajidur Rehman of the university, however, confirmed that recently a professor and a librarian left the university after allegations of rape emerged against them.
"We did not approach the police to investigate the allegations as it would have brought bad name to the university and set parents of the 9,500 girls studying here worrying," he told Dawn on Thursday.
Sources in the university claimed that the professor of economics department used to offer his victims "good marks" in examinations in return for sex. He would even force himself upon the unwilling with threats of failing her.
It was shocking to hear the president of the University Staff Welfare Association, Chaudhry Mohammad Nazir, say "the situation is far worse than what you know".
IIUI sources said the professor's escapades came to an end after he landed his last victim on January 20, a Friday. The university asked the victim to file a formal complaint for initiating action against the accused but her family refused.
However, the students union took up her case and threatened the university administration it would go public with the evidence, the sources said.
It was claimed to be the same kind of evidence that had gone viral on the internet and forced the university's old librarian to resign a few months earlier.
That was despite the university administration's alleged attempt to make his victim - a female assistant - to resign on the charge that she was a willing partner. But she firmly refused and went on leave.
On her return, the administration assigned her to a new department, according to her colleagues.
It is not that families of the victims of coercive sex took their sufferings lying down. One father reported a senior faculty member to the Prime Minister's Secretariat which instructed the Islamabad police to investigate.
When the investigators arrived to probe, however, the university officials pleaded with them to hush up the matter as "the accused has already been punished" and a probe would only tarnish the image of the university and scare the parents.
It is a different matter that for the librarian the punishment meant retiring six months before it was due, and for the professor resigning on his own and securing a new job in the National Agriculture Research Centre, allegedly with the help of friends in the bureaucracy.

What a shame? If these things are happening in the Islamic University, then what can we say about the other universities with co-education? People send their daughters to Islamic University so that they can have education in Purdah and this is what happens. The Administration of IIUI should be made accountable for such incidences and concerned people should be punished! We are muslims by name only!

@ Mr. Umair Khalid,
Co - education does not cause sexual exploitation. I am not saying anything you don't already know. Sexual exploitation would have been unlikey (though not impossible) had the faculty members been women. But, how is that to be? Women should not work, should they? The women must live in "purdah".

Actually, these things happen more in so called Single Sex Islamic inistitutions, comapared to Co-education universities out there. We often hear complains that people from opposite genders are mingling with each other but at least they are not having sex in the name of an Islamic institution nor are they getting raped or anything.

Thanks Dawn for exposing this shameful state of affairs taking place at the IIUI.
Exploitation of women, sexual or otherwise, is more common across the world than is reported. That’s because even in the developed world, female victims of rape hesitate to come forward because of the associated stigma and for the fear that they'll not be believed. Nonetheless, many countries have laws against these crimes and also enforce them.
Sexual exploitation and degradation of women at any place and at any level is unacceptable, regardless of whether the place of crime has the word “Islam” in its name or not. The perpetrators of sexual crimes against women must be prosecuted, punished and listed as sex offenders.
Because the professor and the librarian responsible for these heinous acts worked at the “Islamic” University, it is all the more important that they must be arrested and then tried according to Islamic laws. Harsh as it may sound, if found guilty, they must be hanged in public because in Islam that’s the punishment of rape committed by a married man; and THIS PENALTY FITS THE CRIME PERFECTLY!

The "Islamic" institutions are more likely to let this kind of thing happen because if anything comes to light, they'd hush it up. It's a sad, sad thing for me to learn this because I spent 5 years in Islamic University.
Still, I refuse to defend the university. The only reason that such crimes happen is because the perpetrators are protected by the administration and all the problems are swept under the rug.

The only reason this happened, and continued to happen is because the morally bankrupt "educators" didn't prosecute the criminals from the start. So many victims could've been protected and so many similar crimes prevented if the people in authority didn't "hush it up". These men should be publicly punished. And by that I don't mean fired or fined, I mean publicly whipped and stoned. Where is your Islamic Law now? Where is your Hudood Ordinance???
And if anyone even thinks about blaming the victims, SHAME ON YOU! Who is the stronger party here??? Who took advantage of their strength? I say these victims deserve our respect and praise for having the strength to step forward and report this. Especially in the face of such bureaucratic covering up of this heinous crime.
I am an alumnus of the Islamic University, I studied there for five years, but I refuse to defend the university. Such bullying and criminal acts should not be covered up for anything, least of all for "saving face"!

Everyone needs to understand that sexual attraction is a law of nature, and a very basic instinct. What is deplorable is when there is exploitation and resultant ruination of the less empowered. If it is mutual interaction by consent between two adults, others should simply butt out. Religious figures have got away with exploitation by claiming divinity and bestowing some kind of favour. Politicians get away through intimidation and threats. Simple folks who act on their pure instincts become innocent victims at the hands of those who think it is their 'right' to interfere. Stop this hypocrisy

I used to be a part of one of the universities as a Lecturer in the Women's Campus. I think we should remove the word "ISLAMIC" before the university and begin thinking n acting more pessimistically, as of these incidents happen in every domain.
Islamic University was same as before. Girls did get their educations from the same university under the supervision of male and female staff. However,
Question is: WHY DOES THE RATE OF THESE INCIDENTS GETTING RAISE?
Answer is: Lower your head and try to look inside your neck. And search for the answer on: Am I living my life according the laws, provided by our own Creator ALLAH.
Stop blaming! Start acting whatever Allah told us to do. The things will get back to it's right place. Then HE will look after for us in these kinds of incidents. HE will protect us like HE saved Hazrat Yousaf (A.S). Removing Dust from Clothes won't remove Dust from the Heart.One has to kill the desires of oneself. In that case, if it's true - getting good marks is one desire from one end while the other is............. from the other part. Stop believing in others and start believing in Allah and Yourself, No teacher or student will take advantage of your life.
Opt to end with the line: Only Almighty Allah Knows the Truth.

'get raped' what do you mean by 'get raped'? do you honestly think 'rape' is such a trivial crime that anyone would actually want to 'get raped'?
would YOU like to? Just because it's called an 'islamic' university doesn't make it heaven on earth. and again, it is no standard to judge 'non-islamic' universities by. i know of many universities where even brushing past a woman would have serious consequences, including expulsion/getting fired from a job. i wish the IIU would adopt such policies and carry out the law as necessary.
please distinguish between 'abuse' and 'consent'. if the report is calling it abuse, it has to be that. not something gossip would force you to think. agreed university going females are adults. but do you honestly think everyone has the courage to say 'NO' to teachers/ seniors when our culture holds such a strong sense of respecting elders and instuctors?
Strong females form emancipated backgrounds do. they've been taught from the start what to expect outside their homes. Not all parents are so 'open' about the matter with their children. that doesn't mean that there's something lacking in their kids' morals. it just means their kids haven't been made so streetwise.
please ACCEPT that women who go out to study/work go out to do just that. and NOT to have sex. nobody is desperate enough to be thirsting after every opportunity offered to have a sexual experience. Women I know may be strong or timid, but both groups are totally willing to wait for a decent husband.
it perhaps is hard to accept 'sexual abuse' with 'islamic' but unless soemthing isn't done about it, people will question the system. they will stand up for their rights. and if you don't feel inclined to help them, mind your own business. there is no need to point fingers and hurl accusations. after all, they are also daughters of respectable men and women, and have every right to an education in an Islamic institution devoid of sexual perverts.

Hi,
My viewpoint is that the root cause of all this crap is not the absence of co-education thing but the frustration of few people (teacher and the librarian)and cowardliness of the victims and Truly speaking i blame them equally for all this incident since it was there duty to stand against the evil and report the incident to the management and to the media or atleast escalate it to the concerned authorities/organizations. Many Islamic organizations like Jamiat, etc are fully functional in the university and they are always looking forward to expose such incidents.

Its not about Islamic University, its about the individual frustration which have occupied the professor and the cowardness of the victims who don't have the courage to stand against the evil since The education system in practice in HEC recognised universities is very flawless and it is not very easy for the faculty to simply ruin your career on the basis of personal grudges and threaten them. Now the victims who willingly agree to this crime either in the guilt of good marks or threat of failure, are the real culprits.

This is not the only case there are lots of cases of corruption in last decade in which Administration violated all the rules n regulations and created such a moderate environment in which mingling up of male and female is not an issue. The chairpersons and Deans take their women faculty with them to please Rector and President in the name of Lunch and Dinners and get the promotions and benefits in reward. There are so many Illegal appointments due to this reason. One example is that of Dr. Riaz, who was appointed as Dean FBAS and currently serving as Director QEC after retirement on Contract, against the tuling of Supreme court. Another case is the illegal appointment of Dr. Irfan Khan Dean, FAS who has been hired by IIUI against the ruling of the Lahore High Court.

WE people only got the grace of being a Muslim by birth. In our life we do not practice Islam as it is asked by our Allah and guided by our beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad Sallalaho Alaihe Wassalam.
Either a person attending the prayers 5 times a day or not., but he is involved in Sins of some kind. Some sins are small and some are big. Some sins are related to society in which we all are involved. If we are a Muslim community then first of all we are unable to stable our way of teaching which is the basic reason of every bad thing happening in our society. We have adopt the teaching methods of our Masters in past, and still now we are not serious to develop it according to Islamic Society. WE openly pass our days of life full of wrong decisions, work, caring of family and in every aspect either it is our business or our duty, we did not want to practice according to Islam. Now about this incident or incidents like this when occurs, no one think , that why is it happening?
We have media in our home, which is in reach of every person who is 2 years old and big.
What we are watching?
Movies, Dramas, Advertisement of Feminism items, and every kind of sin is available on Media for everyone.
Have we ever think that what this media is poisoning in our mind?
We see a love story at night with our whole family including our parents and children both, and in the morning we want that we should live a pious life, like our muslim ancestors have practice.
How is it possible.? I am not against media, but it should be under the Islamic society not under our old Masters policies.
And for this we all have to struggle .
The struggle will start within ourselves and then to our family and society.
Always pray to Allah that Almighty Allah keeps us on our Righteous path.
Ameen.

Why it's happening in public sector universities. First such news were heard from Punjab University, Peshawar University then Quaid-i-Azam University and now the Islamic University.

It is the case that appears in front of us , there are so many cases that are hidden from our eyes....it is very shameful for us because peoples outside consider us the guardian of Islam.Investigation is good so that in future teacher and student will take care of it and will try not to involve like in these type cases. This university was built to produce Islamic scholars to compete the non Muslim scholars but here the situation is going to opposite side....we are the proud students of Islamic University and we have to respect it in all ways....

Taimur!
Do you know the culprits? I am not very religious but They were not Mullahs rather had no beards.... You know black sheeps are everywhere. So why to blame Islam or Mullah.

This is just a footnote on many of the comments,
Those of you asking for "Names" ... naming the victims would further victimize them, and diminish their dignity even further. No one needs to know who they are,
As far as the criminals are concerned, I would like to see them stripped of all privileges and publicly humiliated!

This incident scared parents. It is universally believed that teachers are spiritual parents (ROOHANI WALDEN) but matter seems different now. I request parents and Islamic University Management to adopt legal course and only kicking out is not sufficient punishment. University professors and other staff must go for social boycott with them. They should not support them because these students are their children if they don't believe in this their kids may fall pray to such culprits. They must be prosecuted and brought to justice to eradicate such menace. I request Chief Justice Islam Abad High Court to take suo-motu notice of this incident.

firstly, one's personal desperation has nothing to do with the separate or combine mode of education. it's one's personal greed and stupidity.
secondly, two bad people cannot be the representatives of the whole university's faculty. so, stop linking once personal acts with separate education.

Justice has long been done upon Abdul Jabbar. He has been thrown out of university. But head of department of mass communication, Dr. Zafar Iqbal, continues to go unpunished for sexually haressing girls and other staff members. His stories of molestation are everywhere but the administration is too afraid of him to take any action against him. Due to his haressment, some female employees have left the university. Now is the time to do justice with all molesters and it should not be limited to Abdul Jabbar only. Zafar is a bigger culprit that Jabbar.

Unfortunately, my reply to Asma was not published by the newspaper. I am not sure if they will, now. But Asma, the kind of conscious you are demanding from the 'ladies' only comes when they have exposure to their society and unfortunately that is not the general case in our society given the 'protecting' treatment we get from our families.

Being former student of IIUI and very student of Dr. Jabbar, had two courses with him. I can't believe. He used to be so nice,cool etc.. Every student liked him. Even, he was ideal of some students. but u never know, what's in someone's heart. what is he doing behind the scenes. Totally shocked and embarrased,as every former islamian is. If this is going on in Islamic uni then what about others?? May be this is issue in Islamic uni,in other universities its no more an issue,, not defending this cruel act, but its time for a hard line like, legislation on these sort of issues

iiui economics graduate now working in a bank, i shocked when i heard this news from my colleague. i studied from Dr jabbar and idealize him, it was unbelievable. i contacted a friend in iiie last week to confirm this news. they told me the whole background that it is just a fake story and that's why they used library scandal just to degrade dr jabbar. shame on those who used a great man for the sake of their selfish objectives. library scandal was true but the news about economics teacher is a fake story. you can confirm it from iiie

To supplement of 'Hawk rply', Yes, right question, Was the incident video recorded? if so, who recorded the video? police? or student organisation? was it rape or at will of both parties? Important questions to ask for a better picture to make a better opinion?

this can only be stopped if teachers are restricted to contact the female students only in the class. All assignment, marks announced in the class and hiding the name and roll number of the students.

hey it is said by some HOD's of fms department that uni is seprating FMS from rest of other university due to mis-management, & Female FMS & Male FMS will be at dawah center IIUI, most powerful resource has given information that President of IIUI is almost completed with its research about this topic & in june 2012 it will be announced officially, this will help Fms to be the BETTER business school in islamabad because the vice President of university wants to close the Fms department in university.

Shame on all those teachers who have tried to exploit the noble profession of teaching just because of their lust. Please remember the day of justice, if today you do this in future somebody else will do the same thing with your own daughter so kindly, this kind of teachers must be punished as the symbol of lesson for other lusty males.

If Dr. Jabbar is innocent then it's ok. If not then it is the fault of his wife who is in Hawaii USA and not willing to return for last so many years. Every human has a devil in himself which is called "Khannas " in Islam. It can be active upto 95% anytime . Secondly a married person without wife has to face the attack of Khannas so man is poor and weak in nature and it can happen. One should offer prayers recite Quran as well as His wife should be with him because if wife is absent then wife has also a chance to slip somewhere else and husband can have affairs somewhere else., Beleive it or not it is a fact. I can be 50,60 r 70% right
