THE FOUNDER

Shaheed Mohammed Said (1920-1998) established Hamdard Dawakhana in 1948. Within few years, the herbal medicines products of Hamdard became household names. The phenomenal business success of Hamdard brands is a legendary part of the business history of Pakistan.

The name Hamdard however acquired a still wider meaning, when Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said founded Hamdard University in 1991. The

establishment of a university which could enliven the intellectual traditions of the educational institutions of the Golden Era of Muslim Civilization, had always been his most cherished dream. In fact, it was the central point towards which all his endeavors were directed. The founding of the University was the culmination of a long dedicated and continued effort which spanned over his whole life.

Apart from being a great educational leader, Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said was also one of the finest exponents of Eastern Medicine, who had treated millions of patients the world over by the time of his martyrdom (Shahadat) in October 1998. In the fifty years of his active career as a practitioner of Greco- Arab medicine par excellence, Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said also achieved international fame as a scholar and researcher in medicine. In recognition of his meritorious services and scholarly achievements he was awarded Nishan-e- lmtiaz (Posthumous) by the Government of Pakistan, in 2002.

A prolific writer, he had to his credit a large number of books and articles. He edited many research journals and periodicals on medicine, history and Islam. Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said also created two effective national forums: Hamdard Shura (for public opinion leaders) and Hamdard Naunehal Assembly (for children). He attended and read papers at numerous conferences all over the world and organized a number of international conferences for promotion of science in Pakistan in collaboration with national and international organizations including UNESCO and WHO. He also held important offices and memberships of dozens of national and international organizations related to education and healthcare, the fields to which his contributions are globally acknowledged.

A man of Herculean intellect and organizational capabilities, Shaheed Hakim SHAHEED HAKIM MOHAMMED SAID Mohammed Said will be remembered most for creating Hamdard University, Founder Chancellor which he envisioned to become one of the top institutions of higher education and learning in Pakistan.

It has been an endeavor to prepare Pakistani youth for upcoming challenges. I would ‘’ like to see the youth studying at our campuses and to develop certain qualities of devotion,

love, determination and services to mankind. ,,

IDARA-E-SAID Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said, Research and Documentation Centre Hakim Mohammed Said (1920-1998) was a man of vision and endowed with many virtues.
