Aftab HostelIt is named after the old boy and second Vice-Chancellor of the Aligarh Muslim University, Sahibzada Aftab Ahmad Khan who was a leading figure in the Aligarh Movement and was instrumental in the creation of the Aligarh Muslim University. It was built in 1932 after the death of Sahibzada Aftab Ahmad Khan as a memorial to him. He also founded the Anjuman al-Farz or Duty Society as well as the Ahmadi School for the Visually Challenged. This hostel, along with the entire Hall of Residence, is named in his honour.

Such a wonderful hostel having everykind of facilities that a student need. 👍🏻

Aftab, being one of the oldest and the most famous hostel lives up to its expectations. With spacious and luxurious rooms, PhD scholars in Aftab hostel feel like home away from home. I highly recommend visiting it once as my stay in Aftab has been among the highlights of my time in Aligarh.

AFTAB HALL: AN INTRODUCTION Aftab Hall which comprises of four hostels namely, Morison Court, Mumtaz House Aftab Hostel and Mac Donnell Hostel, Latouche- Mumtaz Hostel and Morison Court, is one of the largest Halls of residence of students. Aftab Hall was established in 1932 and named after Sahibzada Aftab Ahmad Khan who was the Universitys second Vice- Chancellor and one of the most outstanding figures associated with the University. After his death in 1930, the A.M.U. Old Boys Association decided to construct a hall of residence in his memory. Mir Wilayat Husain, Maulana Tufail Ahmad Manglori, Deputy Habibullah and Prof Mohd Habib were instrumental in collecting large donations for this purpose. Nawab Muzammiullah Khan was the biggest donor. The Hall was inaugurated in the year 1932. SAHIBZADA AFTAB AHMAD KHAN (1867-1930) Born in 1867 at Kunjpura district (now Karnal, Haryana), Sahibzada was the son of Nawab Ghulam Ahmad Khan who was the member of Gwalior Council of Regency in the Gwalior State. Sahibzada joined the Mohammadan Anglo Oriental College in 1878 & stayed there till 1890. He proceeded to England for higher studies in 1891 and completed his graduation from Christs college (Cambridge University) and Bar-at- Law from the Inner Temple, London before his return to India 1894. Aftab Ahmad Khan made Aligarh his home and started his law practice. But the welfare of the college was always dearest to his heart. Sir Syed recognized Aftab Ahmad Khans attachment to the College and in 1897 appointed him Trustee of the College. Subsequently in 1897, he was appointed Professor of Law in the college. After Sir Syeds death in 1898, Aftab Ahmad Khans involvement with the college deepened. He organized the Sir Syed memorial fund to raise the college to a University. From 1905 to 1917 Sahibzada also actively served the Mohammadan Education Conference as its Joint Secretary. Later on in 1923 he became its president. Aftab Ahmad Khan was also instrumental in establishing students voluntary organization, the Anjuman Al-farz or Duty Society. The duty, as it was called, was entirely a matter of student initiative. Its purpose was to collect funds to enable poor students to come to Aligarh and to promote the interest of the college within the Indian Muslim community and the country as a whole. He was very active in promoting education among the Muslim and safeguarding their political interests. Aftab Ahmad Khan was a distinguished Vice-Chancellor of the University from 1924 to December 1926. Although he was persuaded to continue for a further term of three years, he declined the offer due to his ill health. Most of buildings and hostels after Sir Syeds death were constructed under his supervision which gives Aligarh Muslim University a charming look. He breathed his last 18 January 1930 and buried in the ground of the Ahmadi School for the Blind (1912.) which he had established in Memory of his father Nawab Ghulam Ahmad Khan whose pen name was Ahmadi. After his death, the A.M.U. old Boys Association decided to construct a Hall of residence in his memory in 1932 and in recognition of his valuable contribution named this Hall the Aftab Hall. MUMTAZ UD DAULA Mumtaz-ud-Daula-Nawab Sir Mohammad Faiyaz Ali Khan of Pahasu (1851-1922) was the son of Nawab Sir Mohammad Faiz Ali Khan. Nawab Sir Faiz Ali Khan rendered meritorious service to the British and was granted a Jagir and given the Knighthood. With his hereditary title of Muntazud-Daula. Sir Faiz Ali also got an opportunity to serve as Prime Minister of Jaipur State and was nominated as representative of the Musalmans in the Governor Generals Council. Sir Faiyaz Ali inherited large property in Jaipur and Bulandshar.
