“It is a great tribute to this Saint that we’re organising such a programme here in the land of the famous saint.
Women were caring for the patients, from the battlefields. This way of nursing has come a long way like from ancestry, the students and locals are fortunate enough to have a Nursing College under the name of Shiekh ul Aalam.
Sheikh ul Aalam has given the best knowledge in the name of Islam and social reformation among us. We’re keen to forward his studies further and it’s indeed our responsibility,” Prof Hameed Naseem Rafiaabadi said.
We need the scholars inside society who can carry the mission of saint Sheikh ul Aalam. The contribution of Sheikh ul Aalam shall be reminded and rewarded for centuries. In today’s world it has been a myth to paste a tag on female education but Sheikh ul Aalam gave himself education to female students popularly known as “Tchaati Korii”.
Let’s appreciate the work and proceed with the teachings of Sheikh ul Aalam to live a better society. Sheikh ul Aalam gave the message of the Quran throughout life. He was inspired by Quran and became the author of the Kashmiri Quran by famous couplets to make locals understand it well,” GN Adfar Said.
