In Okara which holds a very big population of Barelvi Sunnis there was only one Madrassah, Jamia Ashraful Madaaris wich was educating the sunni, Barelvis in that city whose founder was Hazrat Shaykhul Quraan Maulana Abul Bayan Ghulam Ali Okarvi
Sahib. Qiblah Hafiz Hanif sahib felt the need to build another Sunni Madrassah to secure our generations Aqaaid and to educate, as one Madrassah was not enough for the large population that existed in Okara Therefore on the other end of Okara a Madrassah Jamia Kanzul Uloom in Rehman town was built for young Berelvi Sunni Males. The Opening of this Madrassah was kept by Qiblah Mufti Ahmed Yaar Khan. Jamia Kanzul Uloom is built on over 1 Kanal of the land Which was bought by Hafiz Sahib's own earning The land was 268000/- pakistani rupees at the time it was bought. Further construction of the Madrassah was due
to funding by Lecester's Sunni Muslims.This Madrassah was then handed over to Hafiz Sahib's close friend Sayed Naseerullah Shah Kazmi who is successfully running this Madrassah today (Alhamdulillah). This Deeni mission was taken further and
additional land was bought for a Masjid to be built. The land was 270000/- Pakistani rupees at the time it was bought. Construction of this Masjid was again supported by Leicester's Sunni Muslims and also by Hafiz sahib who put 10 from his mosque earning and 10 form his factory earning on a weekly basis. This beautiful two floor Masjid in Rehman town Okara was completed in 3 years and is named Masjid Anwar-e- Madina. Approximately 3 million Pakistani Rupees are spent on this Masjid which includes a wonderful house for this Masjid s imam with all facilities. After the completion of this mosque Hafiz Sahib realized it was
one of the great needs for Sunni girls in Okara. The other groups have passed ahead of us in this matter which is a cause of concern for the Ahle Sunnat. Hafiz Hanif Sahib decided to carry on this Deeni task further and build a Darul-ul-Uloom for Sunni girls in Okara. Land worth 543000/- Pakistani Rupee was bought by Qiblah Hafiz Sahib and especially with the helpof Sunni Muslims in Leicester, the Madrassah Khadijatul Kubra Lil-Binat located in Rahman Town Okara is now under construction. The Madrassah is a two storey building where the classrooms,offices,toilets,bathrooms and parents waiting area have already
been built. Furthermore, dormitories, a kitchen and hall need to be constructed. Currently Hafiz Hanif Sahib is a patient of kidney failure since 2006 therefore an urgent support is needed from all Sunni Muslims in Okara and Leicester to help complete this project.
Note: Most people who bulid Mosques and Madrassah pass the ownership to their children but Qiblah Hafiz Muhammad Hanif Sahib handed over the boys Madrassah to Sayed Naseerullah Shah Sahib and the beautiful Masjid and girls Madrassah to Atta-ur-Rahman Hami Churahi. He has done all that only to secure his hereafter and for the esal-e-thawab (reward) for his late parent's soul. May Allah Rabul Izzat give him, partner's and parents long life with good health.Amin
