The '''Faculty of Theology''' is a part of [[Aligarh Muslim University]]. The faculty has two departments, Sunni Theology and Shia Theology.

==History==
The Faculty of Theology is one of the oldest faculties of Aligarh Muslim University. Abdullah Ansari, son-in-law of [[Muhammad Qasim Nanotawi]], the founder of Darul Uloom Deoband, was appointed first Nazime-e-Deeniyat.<ref name="deoband">{{cite book |author1=Syed Mehboob Rizwi |authorlink1=Syed Mehboob Rizwi |title=History of the Dar al-Ulum, Deoband |publisher=[[Darul Uloom Deoband]] |pages=112, 114–116 |edition=1st, 1981}}</ref>

[[Aligarh Muslim University]] is the only Indian university to have distinct departments for Sunni and Shia theology. These two departments not only provide teaching and research facilities but also manage the religious life of the campus. The two are regarded as a living manifestation of Sir Syed's vision of Muslim unity and brotherhood.
