NEW DELHI :

Advocate Eizaj Maqbool

“Khush kismat hain woh log jo Aligarh chhor dete hain; I was once told that leaving Aligarh was a stroke of luck,” says Eijaz Maqbool, a senior Delhi-based senior advocate as he reflects on the pivotal points in his life.

“It was a decision driven by a deep-seated desire to contribute meaningfully to society through the practice of law,” he told Awaz-the Voice. His tenure as the Vice-President of the Students’ Union at AMU was formative and one particular seminar which he organized left a lasting impression on him.

With his mother a teacher and father an assistant collector in customs, he reflects on the bare minimum salary that was just enough to sustain their family.

He left Aligarh with 20 recommendations and a dream no less than that of becoming the Prime Minister, Maqbool arrived in Delhi after having cycled for 138 kilometers.

Maqbool faced significant challenges in Delhi while trying to settle as a lawyer. “The reality of establishing myself in the legal fraternity struck hard,” he says. He found it challenging to find accommodation in Delhi for for prospective landlords held his being a Muslim, a law graduate, and hailing from Bihar, as his disqualifications as a tenant.

Advocate Eijaz Maqbool with his book

Undeterred, Maqbool found a mentor in Justice Tarkunde, who was already an established advocate in Delhi.

Maqbool started working for Rs 800 in Karanjawala, a law firm that is one of the major law firms in Delhi today. “In the Supreme Court, specialization does not exist as there’s no strict divide between civil and criminal cases and one handles all branches of law,” he explains. “We are jacks of all trades and masters of none,” he quotes.

Maqbool speaks about a few landmark cases in the legal history that he was associated with. “One of the pivotal cases in my career was the ‘Kihoto Hollohan’ or the ‘Aaya Ram Gaya Ram’ case,” he recalls, highlighting its constitutional significance in addressing political defections. Another watershed moment was his representation in the Babri Masjid dispute, where he advocated for the Muslim side – a role that garnered his media attention and scrutiny.

Beyond his legal achievements, Maqbool holds a passion for travel – he has visited 63 countries. He feels travelling not only enriches his experiences, it also informs his global perspective on legal matters. He says he plans his vacations well in time, before the Supreme Court vacations.

Interestingly, Eijaz Maqbool intends to write his travelogue scoring 100 countries.

On the challenges young lawyers face, Maqbool says that they face problems in securing mentorship and recognition. “The early years are pivotal,” he comments.

He admits that post-COVID, there is a decline in remunerations and placement for young lawyers, he advises greenhorns: “There is no substitute to hard work and as it is said, the genius is 1% intellect and 99% perspiration.” He asks young lawyers to work on networking, good command of the English language, and being technologically adept.

“The adoption of digital filings and virtual hearings by the Supreme Court has revolutionized legal practices,” he says and hopes it would percolate to the lower courts.

Maqbool is committed to mentoring the next generation of legal professionals and instilling in them a deep sense of integrity and commitment to justice. “My sons and my daughter-in-law have followed my footsteps,” he says proudly.

“Many of my juniors have flourished in their legal careers, which is immensely gratifying.” As he contemplates his legacy, Maqbool emphasizes the importance of upholding judicial independence and the rule of law.

“The judiciary must serve as a vigilant guardian against governmental overreach which is currently not the case”, he asserts.

The advocates often face ethical dilemmas in the need to draw a balance between working for the client’s best interest and upholding their responsibility as a law officer of the court by doing one’s best and leaving it to the court to decide in favour or against the case at hand. Maqbool quotes Urdu poet Akbar Allahabadi on this:

Paida hua waqeel toh shaitaan ne kaha,

Lo aaj ham bhi sahib-e-aulaad ho gaye’

(When a lawyer was born Satan said, “I have become a father today”)

During the COVID lockdown he studied the writings of about a hundred legal luminaries, dabbled in his love for Urdu poetry, and most importantly authored ‘Law, Humour, and Urdu Poetry’ that showcases his work as a advocate.”

A member of the Delhi High Bar Association, Supreme Court Bar Association, and International Bar Association, London, throughout his distinguished career, Advocate Maqbool has indeed touched the pinnacle of glory in his profession.

Starting as a law student in Delhi to establishing his boutique law firm in Noida, UP, his story reflects personal achievement and the profound impact of legal advocacy in shaping societies.

Ayyub Ansari, one of the finest Mathematics teachers, no more

Education,

Malegaon, MAHARASHTRA :

Ansari Mohammad Ayyub, popularly known as Ayyub Ansari Sir, passed away in Malegaon on Sunday June 30, 2024. Read on as one of his students pays tribute to this admired teacher.

Malegaon: 

Ansari Mohammad Ayyub, popularly known as Ayyub Ansari Sir, passed away in Malegaon on Sunday June 30, 2024. He was 83.

Ayyub Ansari Sir retired as Assistant Head Master in 1997 after more than 35 years of service at A.T.T. High School and Junior College, Malegaon.

Ayyub Ansari Sir is survived by 07 sons, 04 daughters and hundreds of students who are spread across Malegaon, and also in other parts of India and abroad.

Early Life and Education

Ansari Mohammad Ayyub was born to Haji Abdus Shakoor Allah Rakhu, a resident of Angnu Seth Ka Malla in Fateh Maidan area of Malegaon. Ayyub Sir’s father Haji Abdus Shakoor was in the business of textiles and yarn trading.

The very first batch of Pilgrims from Malegaon that went to Makkah was in 1881. Ayyub Sir’s father Abdus Shakoor was among the second or third batch of Pilgrims who went to Makkah. Family remember does not remember the exact date, but said he performed Hajj about a decade before his death in 1960.

Ayyub Sir completed his early education at A.T.T. High School in Malegaon. He later went to Ismael Yusuf College in Mumbai. Ismael Yusuf College at that time was the preferred institution for the students of Malegaon.

For, after Matriculation the only institution in Malegaon for Pre-University (PU) or Inter was M.S.G. College where medium of instruction was Marathi. English Medium Ismail Yusuf College hence was suitable for the Malegaonians.

After completing graduation from Ismael Yusuf College, Ayyub Sir joined the Government College of Education Mumbai for B.Ed. Two years later, a teacher was born who later became one of the finest Mathematics.

Ayyub Ansari Sir’s Journey as Teacher

Ayyub Sir joined A.T.T. High School, his alma mater, sometimes in 1962 as Assistant Teacher. Mathematics was his forte, and he soon became the students’ darling.

“Ayyub Sir was a teacher of class. He was gifted with a very good hand writing and drawing skills, and used to explain his topics with artistically drawn geometrical figures”, Jameel Karanti, Vice Chairman of A.T.T. High School told ummid.com.

Jameel Karanti is one of the hundreds of students who learned Mathematics and Geometry from Ayyub Sir.

Colleagues recall, Ayyub Sir was very polite yet very strict and would always like to maintain discipline in classroom.

“He had a unique style of teaching, and had total control of the class and complete grip on the topic. He had smartly prepared his lessons to finish them in the allotted time”, Mushir Ansari said.

Mushir Ansari is one of Ayyub Sir’s students who also had a chance to teaching with him in the same school. He said Ayyub Sir was a master in time management and class control.

“He was neither very fast nor very slow and used to satisfy almost whole of the class. He was the one who will complete the syllabus with the end of the term. After taking charge as Asst HM, he used to say a teacher asking for Extra Class means he did not efficiently utilize the time allotted to him as per the time table”, Mushir Ansari Sir recalled while talking to ummid.com.

Personal Tragedy

Ayyub Sir would spend most of his time in the school. After school hours, he would be at home with the family and come out only for daily prayers.

In 1981, he lost his wife. The sudden demise of his wife changed Ayyub Sir further and he would now spend more of his time in the school and less at home.

“His wife’s death was a great loss for him. But he never expressed his grief in public. People would suggest him to opt for second marriage so as to fill the gap. He however never agreed. He in fact reprimanded a friend when he insisted him to marry again”, said Abdul Khalique, retired officer at Janata Co-Operative Bank and a colleague of Ayyub Sir’s eldest son Ashfaque.

A man of helping nature

Besides his unique teaching style and his commitment to duty, Ayyub Ansari Sir was also admired for his helping nature.

“He was the one to stand by the school and the students whenever they needed him. He was always ready to go an extra mile to help the school progress and students shine in the local and board exams”, Jamaluddin Abdullah, his colleague of 30 years at A.T.T. High School, recalled.

Jamaluddin Sir, one of my father Mohmmad Anwar Faizee’s best friends, was my patron at A.T.T. High School. I had topped the school in classes 8th and 9th. In 1985, when I was to appear in the SSC Board Exams, the target was to register a place in the Maharashtra State Board Merit List.

Ehtesham Sir was very kind to take the responsibility of preparing me in Social Sciences. English, General Science and other subjects were taken care of by Shakeel Ansari Sir, Abdul Latif Ansari Sir and others. Mathematics and Geometry were tricky as the board had introduced the new syllabus and the board exam pattern too was changed.

Jamaluddin Sir and Ehtesham Sir wanted Ayyub Ansari Sir to give me tuition. But, the problem was that after his wife’s death Ayyub Ansari Sir had lost interest in private coaching.

While working together, the two – Ayyub Ansari Sir and Jamaluddin Sir, had developed a special bond. It was because of this bond, Ayyub Ansari Sir, against his will, accepted Jamaluddin Sir’s request to provide me private tuition in Mathematics and Geometry.

The efforts of these noble souls bore fruits. Though I missed the Merit List by just 06 marks, I emerged the topper of the Nashik District scoring the highest marks in all subjects except Hindi and Marathi – Marathi being the subject introduced in the board exams for the first time.

Seven sons and four daughters – Ayyub Sir had a big family to take care of. He was living in a joint family where his brothers too had large families. The family’s ancestral textile business was not doing well. Neither was the salary Ayyub Sir was drawing enough to feed his children and other family members.

“We joined the service at a salary of INR 3,000 and the last salary we drew was a little over INR 12,000”, Jamaluddin Sir recalled.

With this salary, Ayyub Sir not only managed the routine expenses of the family but also made sure his children complete their education. The result is that his eldest son Ashfaque joined as an Officer at a bank, the younger son Altaf and daughter Aafiya became doctors, Khaleel Ansari and Naeemurrehman are teachers whereas Ataurrehman, Shafeequrrehman and Hifzurrehman are good at business. His grandchildren and granddaughters, in plenty, too are well educated, about half a dozen pursuing MBBS.

Besides the family members, a large number of colleagues and students were present for the final journey of Ayyub Sir. There was a somber yet tearful atmosphere, with light shower pouring down the sky, as the admired teacher was laid to rest Sunday night, in the same grave where his wife was buried 43 years ago at the iconic Bada Qabristan of Malegaon.

Marai Village, Siphajr (Darang District) , ASSAM :

Inside the shrine of Baga Baba

As National Highway-15 traverses through the village Marai of the Darang district in northern Assam, travellers see a shrine that commands the devotion and reverence of both Hindus and Muslims.

This is the shrine of Baba Baga which is visited by people of all faiths, and is especially popular among travelers who have taken the NH-15. Trucks and buses that come from far and wide stop here to offer prayers and make donations. All passenger buses and goods trucks stop here as the shrine management has kept drinking water available.

Baga Baba was born as Abdul Khaleque. He came to Assam in 1916 from the then Sylhet district (now in Bangladesh). Initially, he lived in Gog, Satsali, and Badalguri and finally settled down in Marai village of Sipajhar in 1919.

The shrine of Baga Baba in village Marai 

From there, he launched his mission of spreading Islam in the greater Darang district.  The Sufi cleric also joined the Indian freedom movement; he was also jailed.

Baga Baba died in 1933 and the locals raised a mausoleum (mazar) on his grave.

Speaking with Awaz-The Voice, Hafiz Ali, secretary of Baga Baba Mazar, said: “The cleric lit the torch of Islam here. Along with preaching the religion, he also spread the message of peace, harmony, and brotherhood. Then he sent Maulana Didaruddin Saheb to be educated as a maulana. Everybody believes Baga Baba to be an Auliya (master of some divine power) of Allah. Hindus and Muslims alike come here and pray.

“At present, people from all over Assam and India who travel through this highway donate at this mazar. Today the village has nine mosques. The inflow of people and pilgrims has increased over the years. Hindus and Muslims have equally contributed to it.

Drinking water facility at the shrine for travellers

The construction work of the mazar was initiated by former president Jiban Baruah. There are still many non-Muslims, such as Bhumidhar Saharia, Himanshu Kalita, and others, in the management committee of the Mazar,” he said.

The shrine hosts Milad sharif every Thursday of the week. In addition, a Urs is held every year on 12 of Magh (late January), the death anniversary of Baga Baba. People from different parts of India participate in the Urs. Although the Baga Baba Mazar is located on the northern side of NH 15, there is also a premises of the Mazar on the southern side of the road.

It is worth mentioning that the Baga Baba Mazar has played a significant role in maintaining Hindu-Muslim unity and harmony in the entire Darang district as well as in the greater Marai Bijulibari area.

On this day, Nawab of Bengal Siraj-ud-Daulah was at the gates of Fort William in Calcutta with an army of 50,000 soldiers, 50 cannons and 500 elephants. By that time the British had retreated to the British East India Company’s ships. John Zephaniah Holwell was in charge of the British side, which had less than 200 soldiers left at the fort. Holwell surrendered to Siraj on June 20 afternoon.

June 20, 1756, is marked by “the Black Hole Tragedy”. According to Holwell, the surrendered British were forced into a small chamber at the fort by the Nawab’s army.

More than a hundred of the prisoners died. Only 23 of them survived, Holwell’s account said. Later, commentators and historians have questioned Holwell’s account and claimed that fewer people had died.

From Bengaluru To Dubai: Asad Haque’s 35-Year Journey In Technology And Date Farming

Agriculture (since June 07th, 2021), Business & Economy, Community Involvement / Social Issues, Karnataka (under research project), Leaders, NRI's / PIO's, Science & Technology

Bengaluru, KARNATAKA / Dubai, UAE :

Asad Haque’s commitment to innovation, technological advancements, and dedication to philanthropic initiatives, including date farming, makes him an exemplary figure in both technology and environmental sustainability. An expatriate from Bengaluru, now thriving in Dubai, Asad’s inspiring story illustrates the incredible value of pursuing one’s passion with unwavering enthusiasm and dedication.

Asad’s journey began in Bengaluru, where he earned a Bachelor of Engineering degree in CAD/CAM with a distinction from R.V. College in 1989 and simultaneously completed a CNC, NC machines project at the National Aeronautical Lab (NAL). Asad was also passionate about sports and was awarded the Best All-Rounder award by the KSCA for state schools in 1982. Additionally, he won the Best All-Rounder award again in the Karnataka Junior Colleges Cricket tournament in 1984.

His career took flight at Infosys, leading to senior positions in renowned companies such as Hewlett Packard Distribution (Emitac Group), Samsung, Xerox, and Dubai Internet City. His significant contributions to the ICT, AI, and security industries have not gone unnoticed, earning him prestigious awards including the Award of Appreciation from Dubai Police Headquarters, Government of Dubai, and the Gulf NRI Karnataka RATNA Award by His Highness Sheikh Maktoum Juma Al Maktoum.

Asad Haque honoured with the Gulf NRI Karnataka RATNA Award in 2023 by His Highness Sheikh Maktoum Juma Al Maktoum

As a distinguished alumnus of Bangalore University and an executive founder member of The Alumni Association, Asad Haque has been recognized for his expertise in Artificial Intelligence. Over the past 30 years, he has been a key player in the UAE’s ICT landscape, instrumental in launching the first PC made in the UAE by the brand CUB PC. This success paved the way for other achievements, such as the launch of Samsung’s HDD storage and TFT Monitors, and multi-million dollar XEROX printing and copying solutions for the SME segment.

He also introduced various niche technologies across market segments, including firewalls, antivirus, unified and convergent solutions, IP networking, data and voice encryption and cryptographic solutions, enterprise servers and data-centre solutions, IPTV, and AI-based solutions to major enterprise clients. Additionally, he mentors younger professionals and aspiring university students.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Asad Haque’s philanthropic spirit is complemented by his passion for date farming. For the past 19 years, he has grown palm trees and generously donated the harvest to charity. Dates, a staple in the UAE, are particularly cherished during the summer months. Asad’s experience in date farming, though challenging, is a testament to his patience and hard work. His palm trees now towering at 25-30 feet, produce large quantities of dates each year, which he distributes to labour camps and other charitable organizations.

“Thanks to a bountiful harvest, Asad Haque generously donates a substantial quantity of dates to charity.”

Asad’s love for nature and gardening dates back to his childhood in Bengaluru, where he tended to plants and flowers. In Dubai, he embraced the challenge of date farming, a pursuit that requires meticulous care and patience. The process of nurturing date palms from pollination to harvest is labour-intensive, involving skilled gardeners who scale the tall trees to pollinate the flowers by hand. Despite the challenges, Asad finds great joy in the spiritual and cultural connection that date farming brings.

“I experience profound joy in the spiritual and cultural connection fostered by date farming, which allows me to forge a deep bond with the Creator and marvel at His creations. I am immensely grateful for the Creator’s magnificent ecosystem, the harmonious cycles of nature, and the intricate tapestry of life,” says Asad.

In addition to his role as CEO of ICT Consultants and his advisory roles in various other companies, Asad recently expanded his professional horizons by assuming a pivotal leadership role as the Representative for the Middle East Region on behalf of KSI Strategic Institute for Asia Pacific and its affiliated entities. He was appointed as a Consultant for the Middle East at Wahed Inc. (“Wahed Invest”), an ethical and values-driven digital investment platform.

His work involves bridging business sectors and fostering collaboration across diverse regions, with a notable emphasis on connecting the Middle East, USA, UK, and ASEAN countries.

Asad Haque’s far-reaching legacy is reflected in numerous accolades, underscoring his exceptional contributions to technological innovation, security advancements, and societal development. As a philanthropist, Asad endeavors to uplift underprivileged children with scholarships and educational support. He also provides access to clean drinking water and assists orphanages. His unwavering commitment to societal improvement cements a legacy of magnanimity, solidifying his position as an esteemed leader in technology and environmental sustainability. Emphasizing the importance of water conservation, Asad Haque states, “No Water, No Life.”

Founder of Naya Nagar in Mira Road, Syed Nazar Hussain, Passes Away at 90

Uncategorized, , , ,

Mumbai, MAHARASHTRA :

Mumbai :

Syed Nazar Hussain, a pivotal figure in the development of the Naya Nagar township in Mira Road, passed away on Thursday at the age of 90. His namaz-e-janaza (funeral prayers) was held at Jama Masjid Al Shams on Friday at 2:30 PM, followed by his burial at Mira Road Qabrastan in the afternoon.

Nazar Hussain, often referred to as “Nazar Seth,” was instrumental in establishing Naya Nagar in the 1970s. Notably, he brought together the contrasting figures of Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb Thackeray and Indian Union Muslim League leader G.M. Banatwala for the township’s foundation stone laying ceremony, symbolizing his commitment to communal harmony.

Born in 1934 in Nandgaon, Amravati, Hussain moved to Mumbai at an early age. Despite limited formal education, he was a self-made man, known for his simplicity, modesty, and dedication to secularism. His efforts ensured that Mira Road remained peaceful during the 1992 Mumbai riots, a testament to his vision of communal harmony.

Hussain’s journey from performing odd jobs to becoming a significant real estate developer is marked by his deep commitment to his community. He envisioned a clean housing colony for Muslims but kept its doors open to all, fostering an inclusive environment. Today, Naya Nagar is a thriving township where shops owned by non-Muslims coexist peacefully with the predominantly Muslim residents.

Nazar Hussain valued education and, with the support of his wife Noor Jahan, ensured their five children received quality education. His elder son, Muzaffar Hussain, continues his legacy in both business and community service. Together, they have established numerous institutions in Mira Road, including schools, colleges, and a multi-specialty hospital, significantly contributing to the area’s development.

Even in his later years, Hussain remained active in his community, striving to maintain the moral fabric of Naya Nagar. His philanthropic efforts and charitable initiatives have left a lasting impact on countless lives.

As Mira Road mourns the loss of its founder, the community reflects on his legacy of unity and inclusivity. Syed Nazar Hussain’s contributions have left an indelible mark, and his memory will continue to inspire future generations.
