Birthday of two legends of Pakistan.

[Last Hope]

Today, February 2nd, is the 17th birthday of late Arfa Karim.
According to her family members, she was supposed to make a public appearing on air, and put forth a special message for the youth and women.

Arfa was born to a family from the village of Chak No. 4JB Ram Dewali in Faisalabad, 1995. She is buried in the same village after her tragic death on January 14, 2012.

She became the youngest Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) in 2004 at the age of only 9! Born in 1995, in Faisalabad Pakistan.

In August 2005, Arfa Karim received the Fatimah Jinnah Gold Medal in the field of Science and Technology, presented by the Prime Minister of Pakistan at that time. She also received the Salaam Pakistan Youth Award again in August 2005 by the President of Pakistan. Arfa Karim is also the recipient of the President's Award for Pride of Performance. This is a very high level civil award granted to people who have shown excellence in their respective fields over a long period of time. Arfa is till now the youngest recipient of that award ever.

Arfa Karim has also represented Pakistan on various international forums, she was invited by the IT Professionals of Dubai for a stay of two weeks in Dubai. A dinner reception was hosted for her there, which was attended by the diagnostics of Dubai including the Ambassador of Pakistan. During that trip, Arfa was presented with various medals and awards. She also flew a plane in a flying club in Dubai at the age of 10, and received the first flight certificate.

In November 2006, Arfa was invited by Microsoft to be a part of the keynote session in the Tech-Ed Developers conference held in Barcelona. The theme of the conference was "Get ahead of the game" and Arfa was presented as a true specimen of being ahead of the game. She was the only Pakistani among over 5000 developers in that conference.


She would always be remembered as a legendary hero and loved as a daughter of Nation. May Allah bless her soul with Jannat-ul-Firdos. Ameen.

Captain Bilal Zafar Shaheed, Sitara-e-Basalat embraced Shahadat on 17 May 2009 during Operation Rah-e-Rast. Captain Bilal was assigned the task to clear / capture Ghuzanosar Ridge in Peochar valley, a feature of paramount importance for further progress of the operation. Despite stiff resistance and highly difficult terrain, Capt Bilal along with his combat team advanced and contacted the miscreants and cleared the bunkers. Capt Bilal after accomplishing his assigned task decided to move forward and clear the next position. Miscreants after losing their first position were offering stiff resistance and not allowing Capt Bilal to mov fwd. Capt Bilal promptly reacted to every situation and while leading from the front was hit by a rocket on his chest and embraced Shahadat.

February 2nd is the birthday of Capt. Bilal Zafar Shaheed.
His gervices would always be remembered by Pakistan. In gratitude to his sacrifice, the peak of his martyrdom is named as 'Peak Bilal Zafar' and ISPR has made a movie on his life, as a part of 'Faseel-e-Jan sey agay' series. May Allah bless his soul with Jannat-ul-Firdos, and the Nation with many like him. Ameen.
