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.[1][2] 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.[3]
The linguist Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah was the first provost of the hall. Prof. Dr. Shah Md. Masum is the current provost of the hall.[1][4]
Facilities[]
The hall consists of two residential buildings:
- The three-storey main building
- The five-storey south building
The hall has a library with 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.[1]
Annual sports are organized every year.[5]
F.H Hall Debating Club hosts the National Science Debating Festival annually.[6]
