Hizb-ut-Talaba (Students Union)
Darul Uloom also has an association of students, which is called “Hizb-ut-Talaba”. The members and officials of this association are selected by the students themselves at the beginning of the academic year. The association has a library and a newspaper, which is supervised by the students.
Darul Uloom’s Hizb-ut-Talaba library has exquisite books on literature for students which they greatly get benefit from. The supervision and management of this library is in the hands of the students. Under the supervision of the trustee of the library, this library performs its work. In this way, the students are also trained in writing and speaking through Bazm-e-Sulaimani and Bazm-e-Khatabat. Students actively participate in annual competitions organized by the respective committees in which prizes and awards are also disbursed. Students perform journalism and other cultural activities through Bazm-e-Saqafat. Under this Bazm-e- Saqafat, an annual student magazine “Al-Saqafah” is released. Also, the committee organizes Debates, Poetry recitation competitions, Naat recitation and other programs from time to time.
Physical Exercise and Sports
Special emphasis is given to sports and physical wellbeing from the very beginning. A General Captain and a Vice General Captain are chosen each year. For each sport, a captain is chosen through student elections. In this way, games like football, cricket, volleyball, ring ball and table tennis are played regularly between Asir and Maghrib prayers.
All the sports equipment is provided by Darul Uloom. The General Captain gives the status of the equipment at the end of the year. A few years back, a gym was also inaugurated at Darul Uloom where the students do vigorous physical exercise under the guidance of an able trainer.
