Dear Respected Members and Friends of SG,<\/p>

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu,<\/p>

After serving as the\u00a0President of Idara-Akhwanus Sadaat-e-Gulaothi\u00a0<\/strong>for a fulfilling and humbling period of several\u00a0years<\/strong>, I write to you today with deep gratitude and a sense of purpose.<\/p>

Over the past decade, Idara\u00a0has grown immensely<\/strong>, both in its reach and impact:<\/p>

  • The number of members has increased from 400 to about 800.<\/li>
  • Idara\u2019s funds that were only RS 1.40 million 10 years ago, have now reached the staggering amount Rs. 13.00 million.<\/li>
  • Members were convinced to start social welfare activities from the Idara\u2019s plate form not only for Idara\u2019s members but also for the people outside the community. Accordingly, Idara started various programs in all spheres of life including but not limited to Education, Healthcare, Food Security, livelihood opportunities, youth development, relief & rehabilitation services and much more.<\/li>
  • Established collaboration agreements with other social welfare organizations to extend & enhance its programs.<\/li>
  • During times of hardship, including\u00a0devastating floods in Pakistan<\/strong>, SG mobilized quickly to provide\u00a0relief supplies, financial aid, and long-term rehabilitation<\/strong>\u00a0to those affected in collaboration of other social welfare organizations.<\/li>
  • Our support extended beyond borders, as we joined hands with other social welfare entities to provide\u00a0financial assistance to Myanmar refugees<\/strong>, to those affected earthquake\u00a0in Turkey and to our Palestinian brethren<\/strong>\u00a0who are facing genocide in the hands of Israel standing in solidarity with those displaced and suffering.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    These achievements were not mine alone, but the result of\u00a0collective dedication<\/strong>\u2014from our executive members, volunteers, donors, and especially\u00a0you, our resilient and generous community<\/strong>.<\/p>

    With the upcoming SG elections scheduled for the\u00a0third week of July 2025<\/strong>, I have made the decision\u00a0not to contest for the position of President<\/strong>. This decision stems from a firm belief that it is time to\u00a0pass the baton to the younger generation<\/strong>, who bring fresh ideas, renewed energy, and a passion for service that will shape the future of this organization. However, I remain fully committed to SG\u2019s mission and vision, and I will be available at all times to provide any\u00a0support, or guidance<\/strong>\u00a0to the incoming President and his team.<\/p>

    As I prepare to step into a supportive role, I ask for your continued trust and encouragement for the new leadership. Let us welcome this new chapter with unity, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to our noble cause.<\/p>

    May Allah (SWT) continue to bless the Idara and guide us all in serving humanity with sincerity, dignity, and compassion.<\/p>

    With heartfelt gratitude and duas,<\/p>

    Syed Wasimuddin Hashmi
    President.

    Sadaat \u2013 A Noble Class:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

    As you all may know that Sadaat is the plural form of Syed. It is a name used by people who have lineal descent from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), through his daughter Fatimah (RTA) and son-in-law\/cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib (RTA). The term originates from Arabic \u0633\u064a\u062f (Sayyid), meaning “Mister” or “Master”, and is an honorific but in South Asia it specifically signifies descendants of the Prophet.<\/p>

    Many Sayeds migrated to the Indian subcontinent during the Arab, Persian, and Central Asian invasions (from the 8th to 17th centuries), including during the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire. Over centuries, their descendants settled in various parts of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh and came to be known as Syeds locally. In Indo-Pak culture, Syeds are usually part of the Ashraf class (nobility or high-born), especially among Muslims. Notable Syed families are Hashmi, Zaidi, Jafri, Wasti, Rizvi, Naqvi, Bukhari, Gilani, Kazmi, Tirmizi, Mashhadi.<\/p>

    Prominent Syed families and figures in the Indo-Pakistani region, especially known for their religious, scholarly, or political influence are as follows:<\/p>

    • Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti<\/li>
    • Syed Ali Hujwiri<\/li>
    • Syed Jalaluddin Bukhari<\/li>
    • Shah Waliullah Dehlawi<\/li>
    • Saye Ahmad Barelvi<\/li>
    • Sir Syed Ahmed Khan<\/li>
    • Maulana Syed Abul A’la Maududi<\/li>
    • Allama Syed Sulaiman Nadvi<\/li>
    • Syed Muhammad Ali Jauhar<\/li>
    • Syed Hussain Shaheed Suhrawardy<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Gulaothi \u2013 A Small but Culturally Rich Town:<\/h3>

      Gulaothi is a small but historically significant town located in the Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh (UP), India. It is situated about 60 km east of Delhi and 25 km north of Bulandshahr city, is part of the National Capital Region (NCR) and well-connected via roads.<\/span><\/p>

      Gulaothi has a rich Islamic and Mughal-era heritage and historically known for its Islamic scholars, Sufi saints, and madrasas. It was once considered an intellectual and religious center in western UP, especially during the late Mughal and British periods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

      During the Independence war of 1857, Gulaothi was a site of significant resistance against British colonial forces. On 29 July 1857, the Second Battle of Gulaothi took place, where commanders Haji Munir Khan and Ismail Khan, under the leadership of Nawab Walidad Khan of Malagarh, established a defensive position near the canal to thwart British advances into Bulandshahr district. Both commanders sustained severe injuries in the battle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

      Moreover, members of the Syed community actively participated in the Indian independence movement. For instance, Maulana Muhammad Mian Mansoor Ansari, a descendant of Munshi Syed Meharban Ali, was a key figure in the Silk Letter Movement, striving for India’s freedom from colonial rule.<\/span><\/p>

      Before partition, Nawabzada Liaqat Ali Khan addressed a political rally in Gulaothi which signifies the importance of this small town.<\/span><\/p>

      These event underscores the active participation of local leaders in the struggle for India’s independence.<\/span><\/p>

      It\u2019s economy is traditionally based on agriculture, small-scale industries, and trade. Some of the notable points of interest are historic mosques and shrines dating back centuries and traditional Havelis (mansions) belonging to old landholding families.<\/span><\/p>

      Sadaat-e-Gulaothi \u2013 A Diverse & Learned Community:<\/b><\/h3>

      Gulaothi has diverse Muslim population, alongside Hindus and other communities. Majority of Muslim population are Syeds who have lived here for generations and have played a significant role in its historical and cultural development.<\/span><\/p>

      The trace of Sadaat families in recent history goes back to late 19th century with Munshi Syed Meharban Ali being the first most prominent figure of Sadaat community in Gulaothi. He was a prominent Islamic scholar and educator of his time. He is best known for founding the Madrasa Manba al-\u2018Ulum along with Jamia Masjid in Gulaothi in 1870, which became a significant center for Islamic learning in the region and is still so.<\/span><\/p>

      Munshi Syed Meharban Ali’s dedication to Islamic education and his establishment of the Madrasa Manba al-\u2018Ulum significantly impacted the religious and educational landscape of Gulaothi and beyond. His family’s continued involvement in scholarship and public service underscores the enduring legacy of his contributions.<\/span><\/p>

      It will not be fair if we don\u2019t mention the name of Hafiz Syed Shafi Uddin Saheb who was definitely the second most important personality of Gulaothi after Munshi Syed Meharban Ali.<\/span><\/p>

      While Munshi Syed Meharban Ali established an institution of Islamic education, Hafiz Syed Shafi Uddin established a traditional school in 1942 in his personal residence namely, Mufeed-e-Aam School in Gulaothi to provide worldly education to the children aimed at empowering them to meet the challenges of modern times. Started as primary school in 1942, this school progressed rapidly from primary to junior high in 1945 to high school in 1964 and finally to Intermediate college in 1989.<\/span><\/p>

      After migrating to Pakistan in 1971, he was rightly elected as President of Idara-e-Akhwan-us-Sadaat in 1972.<\/span><\/p>

      Apart from these two prominent personalities, Gulaothi has produced many known scholars, educators, poets, doctors, lawyers, bankers, beorocates and journalists. Some of the prominent figures belonging to Gulaothi are:<\/span><\/p>

      * Maulana Syed Muhammad Badar-e-Alam (Scholar). * Maulana Syed M. Asleh Al-Hussaini (Scholar). * Dr. Farhat Barni (Religious scholar). * Maulana Natiq Gulaothivi (Poet). * Allama Syed Rahim Ullah Qabil Gulaothivi (Poet). * Syed Muzaffar Zia (Poet) * Prof. Syed Irfane Rehmat (Academician). * Syed Ameer Hasan Ameer (Poet). * Prof. Raees Ahmed (Acamedician). * Prof. Dr. Syed Nafees Ahmed-TI (Educationist). * Dr. Zafar Zaidi (Scientist, Shaikh ul Jamia). * Dr. Syed Shamim Uddin Ahmed (Educationist) * Dr. Syed Mubin Akhtar (Psychiatrist). * Syed Usman Ghani Rashid (Lawyer). * Syed Muhammad Ahmed Wasti (Bureaucrat). * Syed Saif Uddin Saif (Social Activist). * Ahmad Rushdi (Singer). * Syed Saleem Shahzad (Journalist). * Syed Muhammad Iqbal Mehmood (Banker). * Syed Nusrat Kamal (Banker). * Syed Khalil Ahmed Jafri (Bureaucrat). * Dr. Sarfraz Zaidi. * Syed Haseeb Ahmed Jafri (Technocrat). * Syed Fasih Uddin Ahmed (Technocrat). * Syed Khalid H. Wasti Shaheed (Pilot). * Syed Tanzeem Hasan Wasti (Social Activist). * Syed Muhammad Hussain Yaqeen. * Syed Abdul Waheed Fida Gulaothvi. * Syed Shamsul Haque Khayal. * Abdul Qayyum Siddiqui (Bureaucrat). * Syed Aijaz Ahmed (Bureaucrat). * Syed Bilal Ahmed (Bureaucrat). * Prof. Aziz Ahmed (Academician). * Syed Zafar Niazi. * Syed Javed Iqbal (Technocat).<\/p>

      Idara Sadaat-e-Gulaothi \u2013 Lot More Than Just a Community Group:<\/b><\/h3>

      Most of the Sadaat families migrated to Pakistan in 1947 after the partition and settled in Karachi. Unlike Gulaothi, Karachi was a metropolitan city making it difficult for the members of the Sadaat community to individually keep in touch with each other and assist in a time of need.<\/span><\/p>

      In 1952, a member of Sadaat community fell critically ill needing financial assistance which could not reach him in time as a result of which he passed away. At this time, some elders of the community felt the need to form a platform to not only to connect the members with each other through social gatherings but also to help those in a timely manner who may be in need of financial or moral assistance.<\/span><\/p>

      Accordingly, the Idara-e-Akhwan-us Sadaat-e-Gulaothi, Karachi was established in 1952 with Mr. Syed Ameer Hasan Ameer (Late) as its first president. The Idara was officially registered in 1965. However, it became inactive after few years for unknown reasons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

      In 1984, some younger members of the community notably of which were Syed Nasimuddin Hashmi, Syed Rashid Ali, Syed Ahsan Wasti and Syed Mubashir Wasti realized the need of a similar organization to unite Sadaat-e-Gulaothi community and work for their welfare. On the advice of the elder community members especially on the advice of Syed Muhammad Ahmad Wasti, Syed Usman Ghani Rashid, Syed Badar Ul Hasan Wasti, Dr Syed Zafar Zaidi, Syed Ahmed & Syed Safdar Ali it was decided to revive the already existed Idara Akhwan-us-Sadaat Gulaothi for the stated purpose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

      Accordingly, the first regular meeting in this regard was held at the residence of Mr. Syed Ahmad and an ad-hoc committee was formed consisting of Mr. Syed Ahmad as President, Syed Mubashir Hasan Wasti as General secretary and Syed Nasimuddin Hashmi as Treasurer. Efforts made by Syed Nasimuddin Hashmi & Syed Mubashir Hasan Wasti to reorganize the Idara were commendable. The number of registered members were increased from 25 to 150 within one year.<\/span><\/p>

      After reorganization, elections of the Idara were held to elect members of the executive committee in 1985. In these elections, Syed Muhammad Ahmad Wasti was elected as the first president of the Idara while Syed Mubashir Hasan Wasti and Syed Nasimuddin Hashmi were elected as general secretary and treasurer respectively.<\/span><\/p>

      After that, elections were regularly held every three years. In the eleven years period from 1985 to 1995, Idara performed well. In 1984, the Idara had only Rs. 1,400 in its account which increased to Rs. 1.40 million in 1995 and the numbers increased from 150 to over 400. Furthermore, the Idara granted many scholarships to needy students and financial assistance was extended to needy families of the community. However, during this period social work was targeted towards community members only.<\/span><\/p>

      The last elections of the Idara were held in 2015 in which Syed Wasim Uddin Hashmi was elected as president who is still serving the Idara as its President. During the ten years tenure of Syed Wasim Uddin Hashmi Idara performed really well. Some of the achievements of this era are:<\/span><\/p>

      • Its membership increased from 400 to about 800.<\/span><\/li>
      • Total assets of the Idara have reached an staggering amount of over Rs. 13.00 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
      • Idara\u2019s social welfare programs were expanded to include healthcare, food distribution, livelihood opportunities, youth development, relief & rehabilitation and many more.<\/span><\/li>
      • The reach of these programs was extended to non-members as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
      • During times of hardship, including devastating floods in Pakistan, SG mobilized quickly to provide relief supplies, financial aid, and long-term rehabilitation to those affected in collaboration of other social welfare organizations.<\/span><\/li>
      • Our support extended beyond borders, as we joined hands with other social welfare entities to provide financial assistance to Myanmar refugees, to those affected\u00a0 earthquake in Turkey and to our Palestinian brethren who are facing genocide in the hands of Israel standing in solidarity with those displaced and suffering.<\/span><\/li>
      • Established collaboration agreements with other social welfare organizations to extend & enhance its programs<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

        After a gap of 10 years, the executive committee of the Idara has decided to hold fresh elections in 3rd week of July 2025. Mr. Wasim Uddin Hashmi has decided not to take part in these elections for any position.<\/span><\/p>

              As with all organizations, leadership is important, but at Idara\u2002Sadaat-e-Gulaothi (SG), we can attribute many of our achievements to the few but extraordinary individuals we affectionately refer to as our <\/span>“star members.”<\/b> These are individuals who have never served in any official capacity in SG but have steadfastly supported SG\u2019s efforts through their actions, and advocacy, in addition to their backing with funds.<\/span><\/p>

              Their contributions go far beyond monetary value\u2014they reflect a deep-rooted belief in the values SG stands for: compassion, dignity, and service. These star members have been instrumental in funding key initiatives such as educational scholarships, healthcare drives, food distribution campaigns, and much more. They haven’t had to be asked when a pressing need arises – SG could count on them stepping up, time and again, to help turn around\u2002a swiftly executed response to community needs. As much as they give, they are naturally as humble \u2014 and would rather stay away\u2002from the limelight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
