PESHAWAR: A banker, who had wrongly been projected as terrorist by the NWFP government in the advertisement that announced head money for the top 21 militants fighting security forces in restive Swat valley, has defended his PhD thesis and thus qualified for the highest academic degree from the University of Peshawar.
Mohammad Mushtaq, who serves as a research officer at the Sharia Department of the Bank of Khyber, did his PhD thesis on “Islami Bankari: Aik Fiqhi Jaiza” under the supervision of Dr Ziaullah Al-Azhari, a PhD degree holder on Islamic economy from Jamia Al-Azhar, Egypt.
Mushtaq, whose photograph had been published in place of Qari Mushtaq, a Taliban commander, got admission to the department of Islamic Studies, University of Peshawar for PhD in 2004-05. Son of Haji Rustam Shah, the young researcher had made a remarkable research on the topic that made his external examiners to request him to allow translation of the thesis in a foreign language and officially published in Brunei Darussalam. One of the external examiners of Mohammad Mushtaq was Prof Dr Anwarullah, who is Islamic Legal Advisor to the Minister for Religious Affairs, Brunei Darussalam, in his comment on the thesis, sought permission of the researcher to translate the document into Brunei language. Equally good in his training courses, Mohammad Mushtaq has secured 3.9 GPA in his doctorate course.
