In pursute of Education



ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE THROUGH EDUCATION


In pursuit of Education:
It is very surprising for me that a woman living far away from the basic facilities and with no formal education has a vision in her life … what was that vision…
“Achieve Excellence through Education”
This was the only desire in her mind that her children must go to school … they must gain quality education   and every act in her daily life was in the pursuit of seeking best education for her children. She stood firm and was determined to provide appropriate environment where her children could be saved from the negative influences of the surroundings for seeking education. I can’t forget when she used to claim that my children are my jewelry/ ornaments for me … that was a real tough time for her to manage finances to send her children to the big city for higher studies… at the same time like a true teacher, guide, mentor and friend she played exemplary role to motivate and inspire her children to seek best education at any cost.
The very first school for a child is the lap of her/his mother. The teaching of Islam is:
“Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.”
That woman was my mother.
She inculcated quest for learning in my mid … her life was a beacon – Charagh e rah for me, for my family and for the generation to come. Her contribution to the community was extremely worth.

Undoubtedly she was the real driving force for me. I feel proud of my mother.
May Allah bless her enormously out of HIS bounty.
