Octogenarian Afghan gets PhD

[Chelsea-Fan]

PESHAWAR, July 29: Qazi Hafeezullah, an Afghan national, has set a record by getting a PhD degree at the age of 82 from the University of Peshawar.
He became one of the oldest persons in the world to have been recommended for award of PhD degree after he successfully defended his thesis in Institute of Islamic and Arabic Studies, University of Peshawar.
Prof Mohammad Omer supervised his research on ‘Mullah Ali Qari Al Harvi Tafseer on Anwarul Quran and Israrul Furqan’ while Prof Fazalur Rehman of the Islamic University Islamabad was his external examiner.
Qari Hafeezullah belongs to Nangarhar province of Afghanistan and has served in Khost University as teacher of Islamic Studies. He had earlier done MA and M.Phil from University of Peshawar. After retirement from service, he wanted to complete his PhD but couldn’t do it owing to financial constraints.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Hafeezullah thanked his teachers and especially UoP Vice-chancellor Prof Azmat Hayat Khan, who waived off his fee and other dues for pursuing his PhD degree.
“Getting a PhD degree was a dream for me and it would not have been accomplished, if I was not supported financially by University of Peshawar,” he said.
Two other candidates Ihsanullah and Sohail from the Institute of Islamic and Arabic Studies also successfully defended their theses and were recommended for the award of PhD degrees. —APP

Getting a PhD in Islamic Studies in Peshawar is like getting a PhD in Human Sciences from Auschwitz University.

Sorry for not practicing "tree-huggism".

Children who get their brains bombed out in Waziristan don´t give a **** about a 82 year old PhD graduate from Peshawar Uni.

Posts that promote eyewashing will be dealt with accordingly.
And if people try to distort the image of a clear-cut enemy to Pashtuns, then this will be exposed as well.

Hope you do not have a problem with so much "negativity".

nice try though

You may have your experience with "the runs" and other kinds of indigestions but that is clearly not the topic here.

The aim of this posting by Chelsea was to highlight how benevolent Pakistan behaves towards "immigrant Afghanis".

The 82 year old PhD graduate is not my enemy.
The enemy of the common people are those who try to whitewash history and influence people with twisted information. This is a more serious crime than bombing people because it´s cuts their roots.

So, Madame Intestinte Specialist,
you can go and get a PhD in applied dementia at that uni.
They will welcome you with open arms.

Raising awareness and other kind of "internet warriorism" is not your job! ;-)

what, you don't have half a minute to be glad for this old afghan man but you have time to spew your venim? and there you are telling people to dance in the streets....lol.

...because I do not care about the fate of an individual but that of a whole nation under duress of others.

And I am definitly sure you meant "venom", right?

Well, only for "Paki status-quo lovers" this seems to be venom.....for the poor people who will be free of your ISI-infested idiocy it won´t be venom but a reason to dance on the streets!

damn mostafa, you caught me out there. and here's me thinking i am a good speller. you must have had a better western education than me
well, dear, a whole nation is made up of 'individuals' and there are so few positive stories for the afghan people at the moment that i would think a pashtun would enjoy to see one. who knows this educated 'individual' may do some really good things for his people.
'allah is one and likes unity'. so what are you doing towards this end? is an online war with pakistan going to create any beneficial outcomes? if so, what?

1. It´s ok. No one is perfect!

2. The definition of "nation" was not the point here, too. I do not know why you constantly try to distract us in discussions that are not the point here. I made clear why Chelsea-fan posted his propagandistic topic here and I tackled it´s nature in my previous post. I do not want to repeat myself.
And by the way, a "nation" not only consists of "individuals" but of individuals who are aware of what makes them part of that nation.
Mr. Chelsea´s post was hitting in this notch.

3. I do not believe that a 82 year old person with a PhD in Islamic Studies can help the Afghan nation in any way. Afghanistan needs peace, then it´s areas of high population density need sewerage systems, running water and electricity and the third step would be education so that all three measures can raise the standard of living, push child mortality rates etc.
I highly doubt that a Deobandi infested mind of 82 years can bring these kinds of change to the Afghan people.
The next step would be a better education system.

4. What Allah likes or not, is not my business.
It is my business when I see injustice, murder and exploitation on a large scale.

5. This so-called "online war against Pakistan" (I guess it´s your homeland) is like a drop of water in a dried riverbed. For you and others it may look like a waste of time, energy and effort. Different people have different obligations. Raising awareness.....even if your words remain unheared is a duty atleast for me.
Pakistan´s identity, linguistic, historic and territorial conflict with Afghanistan and specially with it´s Pashtun population has to be contested by thougths, words and deeds. I do not feel the need to portray myself as the advocate of such a noble cause but I will definitly speak out against the essence of British-born, post-imperialistic and Sandhurst-educated intereference in the lifes, security and future of my people....the Afghans/Pashtuns.

You may have a different point of view and I respect it.
But stop playing the moral-, victim- and religion-card with me.
The case is clear!
