Staff Reporter, Umerabad, Tehsil Takht Bhai, Mardan, December 11, 2024: In a landmark act of generosity and vision, Darul Arqam (DUA) Welfare Organization partnered with Mr. Abdul Qayum Khan, a renowned philanthropist, to lay the foundation for a brighter future in Umerabad, Takht Bhai. At a ceremony held on Monday, December 9, 2024, Mr. Khan officially donated a prime piece of land to DUA. This land will be used to construct essential welfare facilities to uplift the underprivileged.

​

The event, attended by community leaders, Darul Arqam members, and local residents, began with a site visit to the donated property. The formal proceedings were held at the Said Akbar Khan Hujra, a historic and symbolic venue.

​

"A New Dawn for Umerabad"

​

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Abdul Qayum Khan shared his heartfelt motivation for the donation. "This land has been part of my family for generations, and I feel privileged to dedicate it to a cause that will benefit the community for decades to come," he said. "Darul Arqam’s unwavering commitment to the welfare of orphans and the underprivileged inspired me to make this contribution. This is my gift to the future, and I hope it encourages others to give back as well."

The donation includes a clause ensuring that neither Mr. Khan nor his legal heirs will make any future claims on the land or the structures built upon it. "This ensures that the land remains exclusively for the benefit of the community," he added.

​

Darul Arqam’s Vision

​

In his address, Mr. Abdul Latif, Chairman of Darul Arqam Welfare Organization, expressed deep gratitude to Mr. Khan. "Today is a historic day for Darul Arqam and the people of Umerabad," he stated. "This land will enable us to build an orphanage, a school, and a community support center—facilities that will serve as pillars of hope for countless individuals."

He further emphasized DUA’s innovative approach to sustainability. "We plan to utilize the roadside portion of the land to construct shops, the rental income from which will support our welfare projects. This sustainable model reflects our commitment to ensuring the long-term impact of this initiative."

Ms. Shaista Mukhtar, General Secretary of DUA, also spoke about the organization’s mission. "This is not just about buildings; it is about creating opportunities, changing lives, and empowering future generations," she said. "The generosity of Mr. Abdul Qayum Khan is a reminder of the incredible things we can achieve when we work together."

​

Commitment to Protecting the Land

​

To safeguard the integrity of the project, the memorandum of understanding (MOU) includes a clause requiring DUA to construct a boundary wall around the land. "The boundary wall will protect the property from encroachments and ensure that it is used exclusively for welfare purposes," explained Mr. Fahd Latif, a member of DUA.

He added, "This collaboration is a testament to what can happen when individuals and organizations unite for the greater good. Mr. Abdul Qayum Khan’s vision and generosity will change lives, and we are honored to be the stewards of this noble cause."

​

Community Leaders Applaud the Initiative

​

The ceremony was attended by DUA members, including Ms. Palwasha Alam, Ms. Mahmooda Latif, Mr. Shahid Akbar, Ms. Bushra Ashfaq, and Ms. Nazia Alam, who each played a role in organizing the event.

Local dignitaries also praised the initiative. "Today, we witnessed a moment that will shape the future of Umerabad," said Mr. Shahid Akbar, a member of DUA. "This partnership is a powerful example of how communities can come together to solve pressing challenges."

​

Ms. Nazia Alam reflected on the broader implications of the project. "The facilities that will rise on this land will be a lifeline for so many in need," she said. "This collaboration is a symbol of hope and a call to action for others to contribute to the welfare of society."

​

A Legacy for Generations

The ceremony concluded with the signing of the MOU, a moment witnessed by community elders and other attendees. Afterward, refreshments were served as guests engaged in discussions about the transformative potential of the project.
