Message from Mr. Bashir Ahmad Rafiq, Ex-Imam London Mosque

   Bashir Ahmad Rafiq, London


      Bashir Ahmad Rafiq

My dear Hamid Ahmad Chaudhri Sahib
AssalamoAlaikum.
First of all, please accept my heartiest congratulations on the construction of a most informative Website about T.I. College.
I joined T.I. College in 1949 and graduated in 1953. The convocation of 1953 was presided over by Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan, the then Foreign Minister of Pakistan. These were the formative years of the College.
Fortunately the College had a dynamic personality as its Principal, Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad Sahib who transformed the College into a great educational institution.  

The College soon started competing with old establishments like Islamia College and Government College and superseded them in many respects. In sports, the College established an excellent record. The College won trophies in Rowing, Kabbadi, Swimming and Basket ball. Several of its students got prizes in Debating contests all over the Punjab. The College magazine, Almanar, was started in 1950. It was printed on art paper and the quality of articles, both in Urdu and English section, was admired by Scholars and learned people all over Pakistan. Another magazine was issued by some students on their own. It was called “The Young Economist.” I had the honour of editing the Urdu section of both these magazines. We were lucky to have a galaxy of highly taught teachers who were devoted heart and soul to the College. Among them were, Chaudhri Muhammad Ali, Sufi Basharatur Rehman, F.R. Faizi, Dr. S.M. Shahid, Dr. Naseer Ahmad Khan, Sh. Mehboob Alam Khalid, Maulana Arjumand Khan, Akhwand Abdul Qadir, Prof.Habibullah Khan, Prof.Ata-ur-Rehman and Maulana Ghulam Ahmad Baddomallhi. On the College Office staff were Junaid Hashmi and Ch. Mahfoozur Rehman.
Various college societies played a great role in the development and enhancement of student’s educational and physical performance. Science and Economics Societies arranged educational tours and Hiking and Mountaineering societies scaled the Northern mountainous areas of Pakistan.
Urdu society invited many famous poets and writers of repute to its meetings and also arranged very successful Mushairas. There were also various Tutorial Groups supervised by Professors.
Most of its students played a great role in the service of Ahmadiyyat and Pakistan. Some of them became Amirs of Various Jamaats in Pakistan and abroad. Many became Nazirs and Vakils in the Central administration of the Jamaat. Some devoted their lives to the service of Islam and Ahmadiyyat and were sent abroad as missionaries. A few of them joined the Judiciary and others served in the Armed Forces of Pakistan.
This was all due to the dynamic leadership and devoted and selfless efforts of its Principal, Hazrat Mirza Nasir Ahmad and his team of dedicated teachers. He was a great administrator, most humble and a true well wisher of his students. His doors were open to all and sundry and in him the students found someone who was always there to help them. He had a charming, cheerful, pleasant and magnetic personality which radiated love and affection. There was always a smile on his face. His relationship with his student was like a father and son.
I wish the Old Boys Association could produce a commemorative Souvenir inviting his students and colleagues to write about him, in it. This should also include a pictorial record of his College tenure.
In the end I would like to thank you and your team for the great work that you are doing for the Old Students Association and for setting up a most informative and useful Website. May Allah be with you.

Assalamo Alaikum wa Rahmatullahe wa Barakatohu,
I am one of little known students of T I College, Rabwah. I came to know about TICOSA while I was in Canada in late 2006. Very first day I opened the web site and believe me I spent hours going through this and it was early morning when I finished it. Since then I have been reading through the site and every time I come across some new things that open the pleasant memories of past. My college days were more pleasant as I had my all my primary and school education in Rabwah. So most of my class fellows were my old school mates. I stayed for sometime in Fazle Umer Hostel. I did my FSc in 1968.  

I had good memories of our college teachers, most beloved Dr Pervaiz Parwazi. And then Shakoor Aslam, Sharif Khan, Mubarak Ansari and Sharif Khalid Murhoom. My professional education cut short my stay at TI College as I joined dental college in Lahore. After graduating as Dentist, for a short period I worked in Mianwali before shifting to Karachi where I started my private practice in 1974. Only a year later on the instructions of Hazrat Khalifatul Massih III, I left for The Gambia to work as Incharge Ahmadiyya Dental Surgery in Banjul. I got the opportunity to work there for nine long years. I went there soon after my marriage and three of my four children are Gambian by birth. On my return in 1984, I started my private practice in Karachi which continued till I came here in UK in September 2007.
My family details are as under:-
Married to Shagufta who belongs to Sethi family of Jehlum.
* Daughter, Freeha. MBA (Gold Medalist) from Hamdard University Karachi. She is married and settled in Mississauga, Canada. She has two children( a son and a daughter).
* Daughter Dr Mleeha Maqbool, MBBS (DOW). She is married to Dr Maqbool Sani. MBBS (son of Shaheed Maqbool Sethi an old TICOSA) and is settled in UK. They have two daughters.
* Daughter, Wjeeha. She did her BCS (Gold Medalist) from FAST, Karachi. She was awarded Shell Centenary-FCO Chevening Scholarship for her MSc from The University of Oxford where she got distinction and was awarded Gold Medal by Hazoor on the occasion of 2007 UK Jalsa. At present she is working as an IT manager in UK.
* Son Foaad did BS in Mechanical Engneering from GIKI in 2008. He also got Feculty Gold Medal and is seeking admission in Masters in UK.
My phone No is 0044-208-6466313 and 0044-7936837594(mobile). .
