The great personality and founder of Islamic republic of Pakistan, Quaid-e- Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah said:
“Another very important matter which I want to impress upon you, is that no nation can rise to the height of glory, unless women are side by side with you. We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity to shut up women within the four walls of houses as prisoners. Let us try to raise the status of women according to Islamic ideals and standards. There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable conditions in which our women have to live. We should take the women along with us as comrades in every sphere of life. We cannot expect a women who is ignorant herself to bring up our children properly. Women have the power to bring up children on the right lines. Let us not through away this asset”.
(Muslim League meeting at Muslim University of Aligarh March 10, 1944)
“It is women alone who can teach men how and when to wield the sword or pen when the occasion arises. You, young women, are fortunate than your mothers are. You are being emancipated. I do not mean that you must copy the west. But I do mean that man must be made to understand that a women is his equal and that women is his friend and comrade and they together can build up homes, families and nations”.
The words coincides beautifully with the mission statement of Madina:
“We will establish a state in which a young maiden laden with jewelry and ornaments will travel alone from San’aa in Yemen to Busra in Syria (a distance of more than 1500 miles), yet, she will have no fear but the fear of ALLAH..”
First of all, I am thankful to Allah, the Almighty, for giving me this great honor of President. Being a President and an active member of the LDCCI and business community, I wish to express my cordial gratitude and complements for reposing confidence in electing me unopposed for the position of President and giving me the responsibility of the Lower Dir Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
The Lower Dir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LDCCI) was founded with a primary goal to represent and support the interests of local businesses in the city of Dir.
