AKHUNKHEL

 

AKHUN BABA

Man by nature is very forgetful and absent-minded. He does forget the history of his forefathers with the passage of time. There are many people of my village who don’t know even the names of their grandfathers. This is because of the fact and don’t know the life history and other achievements of their forefathers. I am very curious to know the history of my respected forefathers. I also want to transfer the knowledge to my younger generation that I’ve got from my elders and history. Today, every one is involved in materialistic benefits. No one has a spare time to ask some thing from others. Some people also feel shy to ask about the history of their elders. I’m very grateful to the Almighty Allah for granting courage and assistance Allah says in the Holy Quran, “O mankind! (Allah) has created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honorable of you with Allah is that (believer) who is one of the pious. Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware”
