As many as 10 students from different academic institutions were awarded for bringing laurels to Pakistan this year at various engineering competitions around the world.
The awards were distributed at a ceremony organised here on Wednesday by the Intel Education Initiative, as the award winners were also participants of the National Science Olympiad (NSO) held in Islamabad earlier this year by Intel in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.
Zahra Suleman Tejani, Sara Moiz Ali and Arif Payarali of the Aga Khan Higher Secondary School, Karachi, were recognised on the occasion for receiving the First Position Special Award by the American Intellectual Property Law Association at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) 2008.
Ah! Science, that’s a subject close to my heart, especially when you try to link it to Religion:
“In Islamic belief, knowledge is two-fold. There is that revealed through the Holy Prophet (s.a.s.) and that which man discovers by virtue of his own intellect. Nor do these two involve any contradiction, provided man remembers that his own mind is itself the creation of God. Without this humility, no balance is possible. With it, there are no barriers. Indeed, one strength of Islam has always lain in its belief that creation is not static but continuous, that through scientific and other endeavours, God has opened and continues to open new windows for us to see the marvels of His creation”(Aga Khan IV, AKU, 16 March 1983, Karachi, Pakistan).
