  5. About Allama Muhammad Yousaf Gabriel

    Mankind is facing danger unprecedented in history. The scientists have judged it as the total annihilation of life on earth, man animals and plants. But it is more than that it is the atomic hell. The author of Gabriel’s Islamic Bomb has in a missionary zeal from 1942 to 1982 made extensive studies and researches in the relative subjects of atomism and Quran, bible, sciences and philosophies. This present volume is one of the fourteen, written on the topic.

    Allama Muhammad Yousuf Gabriel is a symbol of universal peace, a model of simplicity, sincerity, sincerity and devotion, a colossal giant of ancient and modern learning, a philosopher, a scientist, a linguist a theologian, a poet and orator. He has a mission to save this world from the nuclear ruin the painful and disgraceful atomic doom of adamities. He wants to warn the mankind against the atomic hell and tries to guide them towards safety, while the appeals of the scientists and philosophers have been failed. The author was born on 17th February 1917 in khabekki village Soan Sakaser, Khoshab (Pakistan). It is very interesting thing that the author of such books has not attended any school, college or university from where he should get this knowledge.

  7. Hi, I was wondering if anyone here could help. I am looking for a lost family in Chakwal. I only just realised that Chakwal is huge. 

    My grandfather was originally from Chakwal and has a family before he moved to Singapore for work. I was wondering if you could help me locate the family. My family just want to know if there are any existing family members and if they still reside in the area or if they have moved elsewhere. 

    My grandfather was Malik Ahmed Khan s/o Malik Lal Khan.

    My father has two known brothers of whom are

    Malik Jahanghir Hussain s/o Malik Ahmed Khan and
    Malik Muzaher Hussain s/o Malik Ahmed Khan.

    He also has a sister of whom,I do not know her name.

    My father's name is Malik Nazar Hussian bin Malik Ahmed Khan, his sister Nazerah binte Ahmed Khan and his mother, Khatijah.

    The last known address was given to him on the early 70s-80s.

    Address:
    Village and P.O Jhamrah Sharif
    Via Chakwal, District Jhelum
    Pakistan

    Unfortunately, there are no numbers on the address. Maybe someone near the area or anyone on this page might know of my father's and grandfather's family.

    It would be a big help if anyone can help in any way to locate my family. All we want is to know that there is family out there and just to trace our genealogy.

    If anyone can help please email me at shiela.khan@gmail.com
    Thank You.

تقریبآ نوے کے دہائی کے آخر تک ڈاٹسن سواریوں کے آمدورفت کے لئے اپنے عروج پر تھی۔ڈاٹسن کے فرنٹ سیٹ پر بیٹھنا جہاز کے بزنس کلاس سیٹ پر بیٹھنے سے کم نہ تھا۔اور مزے کی بات یہ تھی کہ فرنٹ سیٹ بھی ڈرائیور یا کنڈیکٹر کے ساتھ خصوصی تعلقات کے صدقہ نصیب والوں کو ملتا تھا فرنٹ سیٹ پر بیٹھنے کا فخر رُعب دو تین گھنٹے تک برقرار رہتا تھا۔ڈرائیور جانا پہچانا اور ہر دل عزیز شخصیت ہوتا تھا ہر کوئی فرنٹ سیٹ کے لالچ میں ڈرائیور کے ساتھ خصوصی تعلقات قائم رکھنے کا خواہشمند رہتا تھا صرف ڈرائیور اور کنڈیکٹر کے منظور نظر افراد کو فرنٹ سیٹ پر بیٹھنا نصیب ہوتا تھا اور فرنٹ سیٹ پر بیٹھنے والا باہر ہاتھ ہلا ہلا کر لوگوں سلام کے بہانے اپنی موجودگی کا احساس دلایا کرتا تھا ہر عروج کو زوال ہوتا ہے ڈرائیور اور ڈاٹسن کے ساتھ بھی کچھ ایسا ہی ہوا۔۔!!#ubaidneelaClick here for joining facebook
