Contributions & Achievements
He had a noble and humble personality. He was simple, patient, and quiet, yet very kind. He treated everyone in the village with respect, honored the elders, and showed love to the younger ones. There was something special in his personality that touched everyone who met him.
Fauji Sahib played a major role in making the name of Ghartal Kalan known and respected. He worked hard for the development of the area and helped raise awareness about education and social issues. He became a symbol of the village, and even today, people talk about "Fauji Sahib" with pride.
One of the most inspiring parts of his life was his strong support for education. At a time when girls' education in villages was often ignored, he used his own land to build a school for girls. Under his guidance, his daughter helped this school grow into a college, which was named Fauji Girls College.
This college became the biggest educational center in the area. Girls came from nearby villages like Ghartal Khurd, Gunay, Bakhriwali, Mitranwali, Kamalpur, Kanan Sian, Ransiwal, Gojra, and Sahoowala to study here. In those days, it was hard for girls from villages to travel to cities like Faisalabad or Sangla Hill, so this college helped hundreds of girls complete their education up to B.A. level.
Many of these girls later became teachers, lecturers, and professionals, continuing the light of knowledge. All of this was possible because of Fauji Sahib’s vision, sacrifice, and sincerity.
His interests were not only in the army or education. He also loved literature. He enjoyed writing funny poetry, folk stories, and simple tales in Punjabi. His words were full of wisdom, experience, and love. His gatherings were full of joy, thought, and knowledge for the villagers.
Even today, the influence of his good character and actions can be felt in the air of Ghartal. He was not just one person – he was an example, a light, and an inspiration for many hearts. His life is a guiding path for all of us.
May Allah bless him with a place in Jannat-ul-Firdous and make the good work he started a lasting reward for him. Ameen.
