Our History
But now a days this town is very backward. Since the partition of India in 1947 most of the educated and dynamic personalities have migrated to Pakistan and afterwards the financial and educational problem came in the way of progress of this town. In general, most of the Muslims of India are backward but Ambehta town has its own unique specialty. The Muslim population of this town is 60% but Muslims do not represent even 15% in educational as well as occupational sphere. One such glorious personality was the Alhaj Shah Rasheed Ahmad Tanweer sahab. He is remembered as the very popular chairman of the town. His Chairmanship started in 1957 and ended with his life in 1968.
He is the most loved, praised and admired chairman in the history of this town and this love of people for him was not without any reason. He deserves and earned every drop of respect and love by his never to ending service to the town and its people, Hindus and Muslims alike. Alhaj Shah Rasheed Ahmad “Tanweer” sahab was a man who has always placed others before himself. His service, love and care for the people and town are humungous.
He clothed the naked, fed the hungry and helped the needy, even if he himself has lesser resources for his family. The man who was the owner of half of a town and the chairman lived the last years of his life in extreme poverty and debt. If his family gets the lunch, the dinner was not guaranteed. All this was just for one cause, the service to humanity.
They all followed the glorious legacy left behind by their father. The qualities which they inherited in blood allowed them to lead a respectable and influential life. Today even after almost 50 years, when the name of Alhaj Shah Rasheed Ahmad “Tanweer” sahab is taken, the respect, glory and the grand aura surrounds the space. The tears fill the eye and the hearts get emotional when he is remembered. One of the main concern of Alhaj Shah Rasheed Ahmad “Tanweer” sahab was the lack of education in Muslim. And this concern got passed straight down to his fourth kid Shahid Rasheed. Alhaj Shah Rasheed Ahmad “Tanweer” sahab always wanted to set up an institute for the Muslims where they can get religious as well as modern education, but due to his pre occupation other social issues, he never got the chance to build one.
Being a doctor by profession, Dr. Shahid Rasheed Sabri . started a small school where knowledge of religion as well as modern world was given. In 1995 this school got affiliation till fifth class, till 8th In 1996 and high school in 1997. In spite of his occupation and by busy schedule, Dr Shahid worked day and night for the common dream, investing his money, time and life. It is the fruit of his labour that in 2000, he got the affiliation of the Inter College named H.M.B. lqra Inter College and also established study centre of Maulana Azad Urdu University Hydrabad and National Open Schooling “NIOS” . In his busy life he has written the following books:- 1 Anatomy Guide - in his student life-1972. 2 Ebadat Haqeeqat kai Aainai mai-2019. 3 Quran Aur Science ki Duniya-2019. 4 Namaz Aur Islam kai Kalimat Bamai Lafzi Tarzuma-2019. 5 Meri Kahani Meri Zubani-2021. 6 Sunheray Awraaque-2021. In 2019 he performed Haj Mubark with his younger son Shah Asad Rasheed.
The financial aid by him for the poor, needy, widows and orphans helped them and made their life a bit easier. Education aids provided by him to the needy students helped them to complete their educational. The other two most important personalities who helped in the mission of Dr. Shahid was Mr. Siraj Hussain IAS and Mr. Naved Masood IAS. With a mere phone call by Dr. Shahid so these two people were always ready to solve all the problems coming in the path of his dream of setting up an educational institution. Even today, when ever the name of these two personalities comes up the gratitude praise flows naturally from the heart of Dr. Shahid Sabri. Another name whose support can never be forgotten is Mr. Shahid Siddique editor Nayi Duniya, Delhi May ALLAH elevate their status in Jannah along with Dr. Shahid Rasheed Sabri.
