Abstract
This paper deals with the contribution of Muhammad Asad in international Islamic Colloquium held at the Punjab University, Lahore, Pakistan, from 29 December 1957 to 8 January 1958, which can be considered the first International activity on Islamization after World War II. In spite of Mr Asad’s notable contribution to this colloquium, his name has never been mentioned in this context. This paper discovers some official documents regarding his role in this perspective. Mr. Asad’s contribution in establishing a new department of Islamic Studies in the oldest seat of learning in South Asia i.e. University of the Punjab is also discussed at length.
