Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall


Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall is one of the oldest residential halls of Dhaka University.

History

Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall was established in 1940 and named after A. K. Fazlul Huq, former prime minister of undivided Bengal. Fazlul Huq played a major part for establishing Dhaka University. On 16 June 1972, the Syndicate of Dhaka University removed the term "Muslim" from name. The decision was challenged in court by Advocate Shamsul Alam. On 1 March 2004, Bangladesh High Court ordered the University authorities to restore the original name, with "Muslim" included.
The linguist Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah was the first provost of the hall. Prof. Dr. Shah Md. Masum is the current provost of the hall.

The hall has a library with the books on different subjects. The library is open for non-resident as well as resident students every working day. New books are purchased in every academic year from the University fund.
Annual sports are organized every year.
