KARACHI, (DAILY PAKLISH): Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) Karachi chief and Chairman of Usman Public School System Monem Zafar has urged students to play their due role with their knowledge, ability and character for supremacy of Allah’s system in Pakistan. He dubbed youth a ray of light in darkness.
He was speaking as chief guest at the Academic Excellence Award ceremony organised by the Usman Public School System. Awards were distributed among students belonging to the UPSS, who bagged prominent positions in the recent matric, intermediate and Hifz exams.
Speaking on the occasion, he advised youth to maintain their focus on seeking knowledge, skills and emerging technologies, as per the guidance of Islam, so they can handle their lives in a suitable manner.
He said Pakistan was a blessing from Allah and its value should be recognised, adding that the beloved homeland had been achieved on the basis of Kalma-i-Tayyaba. There was no blessing which did not exist in Pakistan, he said.
He said 65 per cent of Pakistan’s population consisted of youth, while in Europe the number of old people was increasing.
He said it was the need of the hour to bring the world towards a true and real system, and a true system could only be given in the form of Islam. People in every region of the world were understanding this message and the Palestine issue had explained this message in the whole world, he said.
He said we have to move forward with full determination and spirit on the basis of knowledge, character and morals.
Referring to the poet of the East, Allama Iqbal, he said that the example of youth was like that of a falcon which was not afraid of hard work and hunts its prey itself. Youth should soar high like a falcon and adopt a path of struggle, he said, adding that we should all be those who take pride in Islam and live our lives on the basis of Islam.
He said the mission of the Usman Public School System was not only to focus on academic field of students but also on their training, character building and morals.
He congratulated students who achieved prominent success in examinations and paid tribute to organisers for arranging a beautiful ceremony.
He said student life was that part of age in which studying, serving, worship and every good deed was most superior. He said the students of the UPSS had demonstrated the spirit to study and move forward.
Earlier, Executive Director of Usman Public School System Syed Moinuddin Nair said success of students was a matter of pride for the entire school system and parents and teachers also felt honoured by success of students.
He said in the current year, Campus-I student Ayesha Adnan achieved success in Matric examinations. Such programmes would be organised every year, he added.
