ALUMNI IN CANADA

Assalamo Alaikum Warahmatullah.

An Important Notice for Friends in Canada

Pervaiz Salahuddin has made the following very kind and reasonable suggestion and offer of help and I intend to recommend to the executive committee to accept it with gratitude. If there are any comments or objections to this in Canada, please let us know, before we transfer the Canada page to any of them. Remember Pervaiz is much more qualified to handle the website, than an illiterate person like me. Similarly willing and qualified alumni will have to be found in other countries as well.
Hamid Ahmad

Here is the letter from Pervaiz.

“Dear Chaudhry Sahib,
Try to find out to give limited access to helping hand abroad. If you talk to some expert to tell him give access to a folder under root directory. For example if you wanted to give access to hadi or me it should be //Canada that means no access outside this folder.You have web team in Germany, should have atleast one member in all countries.You can count me or Hadi sahib in Toronto.

   Message from Malik Lal Khan, Engineer, National Amir, Jammat-e-Ahmadiyya Canada


      Malik Lal Khan

My dear Respected Chaudhary Sahib
Assalamo alaikum wa Rahmatullah!
It is a great pleasure knowing about revival of TI COSA and the website. I did receive your messages through Majeed Ahmad Saeed Sahib and Zakaria Virk Sahib. The delay in my response was due to some other urgent matters to be attended. Thank you very much for remembering your old students. I am passing on your message to Karim Ahmad Sahib Tahir also. I do not have photographs of that period with me here in Canada.  

Later, when possible, I shall send you whatever is available. In the next few days, I shall forward you a recent photograph. The two years I spent in T.I. College Rabwah (1960-62) are the best years of my life. Not only did I receive secular education, but also religious and spiritual education which resulted in my acceptance of Ahmadiyyat, the True Islam. Al-Hamdu lillah! The most vivid of my memories of T.I. College is the love and affection I received from my teachers. They used to treat us as their own children. Later, in Lahore and other places, I did meet some very good teachers. But the sort of caring teacher-student relationship I experienced at TI College remained unique. I am very happy that TI COSA will provide us the facility of enjoying pleasant memories of our stay at our beloved institution. May Allah bless your efforts and reward you and the other organisers for this excellent timely service! I just remembered a joke. Chaudhary Sharif Khalid Sahib used to teach us English. He had a habit of always saying "No, never" in stead of just saying "no". One day a student addressed me as "Red Khan". Chaudhary Sahib overheard him. He smiled for a while, enjoying the joke. Then he turned to me and said, "Lal Khan, do you like to be called Red Khan?" I stood up and just said,"No, never!"

Message from Zakaria Virk

I am delighted to know that our friends in Germany have taken an initiative and not only formed a much desired and long due T.I. College Old Students Association, but have also opened a website. This will help recollect the memories of our student lives and re-establish contacts with forgotten friends. I urge everyone to send in their contributions, suggestions, critique and if nothing else their prayers for the success of this project. As the saying goes, those who do not know their history are bound to repeat it. We need to preserve the historical memories of that once magnificent institution, an institution that produced outstanding personalities in every field of human endeavour. We cannot turn the clock back, but surely, we can recreate it in the form of a website. Kudos to all those who are devoting their time and energy to this project. Zakaria Virk, Kingston, ON.

   Message from S. H. Hadi


      Hadayatullah Hadi

Only those nations survive on this planet those who are actively engaged in preserving their heritage, history and civilization. Hafiz Muhammad Siddiq has written a concise article “ Ta’limul Islam High School Rabwah ki wajh-e-Imtiaz” in an issue of Daily Alfazal, Rabwah, October 27, 2005. In my opinion this should be called an initiative, and that is it is our duty to preserve our heritage, it should be narrated so that it becomes a lighthouse for coming generations. In my opinion there is no country in the world where a former student of T.I. College is not serving his country.  

I am delighted to find out that Germany is the first country in the world, which has taken on the task of preserving the heritage of T.I. College, Rabwah. They are trying to memorialize the services of former teachers, students and its employees. I would like to congratulate them on this initiative. I would like to appeal to formers teachers, students and to put their memories into writing and send it to the webmaster of

hppt://www.ticollegerabwah.com.

If you are in possession of old pictures, articles, Testimonials, I.D. Cards, or anything related to T.I. College send it to them so that it can be displayed on the website. They are trying to preserve our heritage, it’s a noble cause. May Allah bless their efforts. I have a suggestion to make: On the above website there should be space allocated to teachers and students where they can introduce themselves, reminisce about old times, what they are doing now, their email addresses, telephone numbers, in order an online contact can be established. This in turn will become a chapter in the “ History of alumni of T.I. College”. Hidayatullah Hadi, Toronto, Canada hhsayyed@gmail.com

My dear Prof. Hamid Ahmad Chaudhri Sahib
Assalam o Alaikum
In the beginning, please accept my heartiest congratulations on the construction of the most informative Website about old students of T.I College, Rabwah, Pakistan. In December 2005 I got consented premature retirement from the Punjab Education Department while I was working as Principal, Government College, Mustafabad, Kasur. As I reached back here in Canada I heard a new about Old Students of T. I. College Rabwah through brother S. H. Hadi Sahib. I have a lot of sweet memories about T. I. College Rabwah.  

I joined Talim-ul- Islam College, Rabwah in 1964 and graduated in 1968. I enjoyed every day of my stay in this college; I participate in all the activities of Bazem e Urdu, College Union, Political Science Society, and Hostel Forum. I was declared the best Speaker in Urdu in 1966-67. I became the President of the Students Union of the College, and also served as Chief Editor of the College Megazine Al-Minar Urdu Section 1n 1967-68. I got good friends like; Tahir Arif, Shuja Ul Haq, Zaheer Uddin Mansoor Ahmad, Sahibzada Farooq Ahmad, Mubarak Saif, Zulfiqar Ahmad Qamar, Asim Sahrai, Karim Khalid, Khalid Ahmad, Naeem Usman, Usman Akbar., etc We were lucky to have a galaxy of highly taught teachers who were devoted heart and soul to the college. Among them were, Qazi Muhammad Aslam, Chaudhri Muhammad Ali, Sufi Basharat-ur- Rahman, Dr. S.M Shahid, Dr. Naseer Ahmad Khan,Prof. Chaudhri Hamid Ullah, Prof, Muhammad Sharif Khalid, Dr.Nasir Ahmad Pervaz Perwazi, Prof. Manawar Shamim Khalid, Prof. Rashid Ghani, Prof. Arshad Tirmazi. Prof. Mubarak Ansari, Prof, Habib Ur Rahman, Prof. Aslam Sabir. Most of the students of this college played a great role in the services of Ahmadiyyat and Pakistan. So many joined in the Civil Services, Pakistan Army, and Education Department and got high ranks. Some devote their lives to the service of Islam and Ahmadiyyat. We have a lot of things to say and hear. At this time please, accept my thanks and convey my salam to all old students living any part of the world. With best wishes for your venture,
Sincerely,
Tahir Muhammad Sami

   Message from Abdul Hai Tahir


      A. Hai Tahir

Dear Professor Chaudhry Hamid Ahmad Sahib
President, T.I.College Old Students Association
Aslamo-Alakum
First of all congratulations to the successful launch of the Website. It is a wonderful idea and it touches the heart of every student, who has spent time in that institution. I can not stop my self to write few lines, about Talim-ul-Islam College Rabwah. The time spent there from F.Sc to M.Sc, was worth for my whole life. In fact those dedicated teachers. When I look back the strictness and discipline and its implementation by those teachers was their LOVE, their sense of duties, and their urge to transfer of knowledge.  

They were not by them selves Kings but they were King Makers. Professor Dr. Naseer Ahmed Khan Sahib (may God bless his soul), once visited me in PINSTECH Atomic Energy Commission, Nilore when I was working on a research project while completing my Nuclear Engineering He said to Professor Dr. Sheikh Aftab Ahmed Head of Department of Physics Government College, Lahore, He said we are not king but we are king maker. At that time he was attending a science conference in PINSTECH and many of his X-students were in PAEC and he met them. I have no words to thank those professors and lecturers those they were not only covering the curriculum, but they were keeping an eye on the whole personality of the student to help him to overcome the discrepancies and improve or get rid of them. Those they took raw stones and cut and polished them into worth full shiny diamonds. In short T. I. College Rabwah is not only a building, not only a college, not only institution, but it was a Home for us, we were entered like new born and went out with the knowledge, to spread in the world not only to make our ways to live but also to serve the Humanity.
Regards, Abdul Hai Tahir Senior Automation Engineer Kautex Textron, Windsor, Canada

A comedy was staged in Fazal-e-Umar hostel in Rabwah, in which I was given the first prize for acting as Talkeen Shah. I have unforgettable memories of my stay at TI College.
