AL-QURAN

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Surely Allah has conferred favour on the believers that He sent a Rasool (Messenger of Allah) from amongst them who recites to them His Verses and purifies them and teaches them the Book and the wisdom. And previous to that they were clearly in error.

(Al-e-Imran -164)

Saying of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam)“When it is the 15th night of Shabaan, do Qiyaam in the night, and fast in the morning, and ask for forgiveness. Because on that night Allah calls: ‘Is there anyone who is asking for forgiveness so that Ican forgive them, who is in distress that I may relieve his distress, is there anyone who needs (rizq) food that I may give it to him.’ And this continues till the morning.””

(Ibn Majah Chapter Salaah)

Whoever keeps company with those who have knowledge is respected, and whoever keeps company with those who are debased is despised.

Hazrat Ali (Karram Allah Wajhahu)

“Pakistan is proud of her youth, particularly the students who have always been in the forefront in the hour of trial and need. You are the nation’s leaders of tomorrow and you must fully equip yourself by discipline, education and training for the arduous task lying ahead of you. You should realise the magnitude of your responsibility and be ready to bear it.”
