History

The name "Hajvery" comes from Ali Hujwiri, the 11th-century Ghazna-born Persian Sufi scholar who contributed to the spread of religious and philosophical knowledge in Iran, Iraq, India, Afghanistan and Pakistan. (Hujwiri's tomb, Data Durbar Complex, is a shrine in Lahore). His most famous work is The Kashf Al Mahjub written in the Persian language (or ‘unfolding truth’ in English). The work debates Sufi doctrines of the past. From here HU derives its purpose; enlightening the minds of the masses by giving them knowledge.

HU, the brainchild of Haji Mushtaq Ahmed (late), was established by prominent educationists and people belonging to Pakistan's private & public sector corporations. According to the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan ( HEC), HU is one of the most highly ranked Pakistani universities amongst institutions that offer degrees in Business Management, Commerce, Fine Arts & Fashion Design, Textile Design, Pharmacy, Literature, Humanities & Social Sciences, Engineering, telecommunications and Information Technology [http://app.hec.gov.pk/universityfinal2/RegionUniversity.aspx] ]
