I know about him from others who knew him, friends and acquaintances.. I randomly once ran into an elderly, his age, was at sometime a high-ranking government official in the 50s. He told me so much about, my father-in-law (your grand father). He told me stories of leadership, sacrifice and activism, which I could not imagine. <br />Your grandfather never told me much about this part of his life – political activism. Your grandfather was truly considered by his friends and community, at the time, as a scholar, a leader and influential organizer-public speaker. In addition to mastering the sciences of Quran, Hadeeth and Fiqh, he read hundreds of books in history, philosophy, education, management, leadership, science and economy. He was connected with today modern thinking and engaged himself in continuous self development and education. He also excelled in his work as a pharmacist and carried a honorable living, despite all the hardship he was subjected to in his life. He shared his wealth with the needy and he never said no to anybody who asked help. He left imprints on the life of a large number of people. I wish he wrote somewhere the story of his life and he left it in his belonging where you or somebody else can pick it up to write a different image of the history of the region where he lived.ABShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938951676660943016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481007980907768276.post-37854314892247680882010-09-23T15:11:33.642-07:002010-09-23T15:11:33.642-07:00Simply by being yourself, your grandfather's l...Simply by being yourself, your grandfather's legacy lives on.
