asa,
Brothers and sisters. Just joined this forum. Found one question still pending to be answered. the answer is...
Maulana Tariq Jameel is a son of a LandLord who was in Politics in the times of Mufti Mahmood-ul-Hassan and his father is not alive. Their Village is near Multan in Pakistan and village name is TULAMBA. He was doing his MBBS in Lahore back in the days, when he found his room mate suffering from fever one day. that friend was going to Mosque while he was having fever. This incident inspired Maulana and there could be other incidents that might had come one after another and then he went in Jamat and came back to home and told his father that he is gonna be a Scholar instead of a Doctor. His father was against him and they had some conflicts between each other.
So at that time when everything was against him, he started his Islamic Studies and became scholar
That is all what i know. May ALLAH forgive me if anything was stated wrong.
this is my thinking that if he would be a doctor instead of a scholar, how many people would know him as a doctor, but now today ALLAh has made him famous throughout the world.
Now his younger brother is a Heart Specialist.
