A Farewell Full of Emotion and EleganceBy Dr. Zafeer Siddiqui

Venue: Pakistan Navy’s Services Mess, Karachi


In an atmosphere filled with deep emotion, grace, and gratitude, a farewell party was organized for Principal Amjad Mustafa Sahib of Dar-ul-Madinah International Islamic School, Dawat-e-Islami, at the esteemed Pakistan Navy’s Services Mess in Karachi. The evening was not just a formal goodbye—it was a tribute to a legacy built on dedication, values, and leadership.


A Principal Who Became a Legend

Principal Amjad Sahib wasn’t merely an administrator—he was the beating heart of the campus, a symbol of discipline, vision, and sincerity. Under his leadership, the campus blossomed both academically and spiritually. His departure marks the end of a golden chapter.


Dr. Zafeer Siddiqui’s Poetic Tribute

Dr. Zafeer Siddiqui’s speech at the event stole every heart. Combining heartfelt words with poetic grace, he painted the emotional landscape of the moment. His verses reflected love, respect, and an unspoken pain of parting:



"اتنی عجلت ٹھیک نہیں ہے
دیکھ محبت ٹھیک نہیں ہے
باقی سب تو ٹھیک ہے لیکن
دل کی حالت ٹھیک نہیں ہے
"

And the final elegy touched every soul present:


"ظفیرؔ اب خالی سا لگتا ہے کیپمس
ہر طرف خوشبو ہے پر، آپ نہ رہے"


His poetry turned the farewell into a soulful experience—a moment of shared silence, moist eyes, and heavy hearts.




An Evening Etched in Memories

From touching speeches to heartfelt duas, every part of the gathering resonated with admiration for Principal Amjad Sahib. Teachers, coordinators, and administrative staff expressed their deep gratitude. The evening was a beautiful blend of formality and feeling—rich in spirit, sincere in tribute.

A Legacy That Lives On

Though Sir Amjad Mustafa has stepped down from his official role, his presence, values, and teachings will continue to guide Dar-ul-Madinah. His departure leaves a space that words cannot fill, but his legacy will forever remain alive in every corner of the campus.

We pray for his continued success, health, and barakah in every step of his life.

Bridging Nations, Building Peace: A United Call from the United Nations

It is both an honor and a humbling moment to receive the official invitation from the United Nations to participate in the prestigious World Peace Conference 2025, scheduled to be held from 12th May 2025 at the UN Headquarters in New York City.


As a humble servant of peace and a military officer representing the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, I see this invitation not as a personal recognition alone but as a symbol of Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to peace, dialogue, and global cooperation. The theme of this year's conference, “Bridging Nations, Building Peace,” resonates deeply with our mission at the Central Peace Committee for Interfaith Harmony—to foster understanding among diverse communities and to silence the drums of conflict through dialogue, respect, and unity.

In a world often shadowed by division and misunderstanding, platforms such as this remind us that peace is not a distant dream but a collective responsibility. It is through such global conversations and cooperation that we move closer to a harmonious tomorrow.

I look forward to contributing to this noble dialogue, representing not just Pakistan but the collective voice of those who believe in the power of peace.

May the Almighty guide us in our shared journey towards a world where bridges replace boundaries, and hearts beat in harmony.
