Other notable attendees included Mian Umer, Mian Munir Hans, Dr. S.M. Tahir, Sultan Mehmood, Shabbir Merchant, Mr. Saleem, and Samina Nasir, among many others.
The program was impeccably organized, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Shafiq Ur Rehman and Mr. Abubakr, the Chief Coordinators of Akhuwat Pakistan. The highlight of the evening was Dr. Amjad Saqib, the Founder and Chairman of Akhuwat, who spoke about the organization’s vision and future plans.

Dr. Amjad spoke about Akhuwat’s journey, which started with a meager sum of PKR 10,000, helping a widow. Since then, the organization has made tremendous progress, and it is now the world’s largest interest-free microfinance organization, having disbursed over PKR 200 billion among more than five million families in Pakistan with 99.9% recovery rate. The organization’s philosophy of Muakhaat e Madinah has helped it adopt a sense of responsibility towards the underprivileged and foster a bond of brotherhood between the haves and have-nots.
Akhuwat has also entered the field of education, and Pakistan’s first fee-free university, the Akhuwat University, has been established in Lahore, where students from every province of Pakistan are studying free of cost. Currently, the organization has 868 branches in more than 450 cities in Pakistan.
