ONE THIRTEEN THE GREAT

1ONE THIRTEEN THE GREAT Complied byMaqsood Hasni

2No doubt,Allah is the greatest.He blessed man wealth of knowledge and regarded him as the best creature ofthe universe. So much so that he has been crowned as superior to angles also. Hehas been blessed as the “Khalipha” on earth. No whoever uses this title. One whouses the blessing of knowledge in the best way becomes honored and respectedamong human beings. However, it has been evident that man can not spend lifewithout other human beings and he works wonders with their help. In this way,he also cherishes the desire of being praised.These 56 people of my collection are unique in various fields and occupy a highknowledge status. So far as the doors of research are open, the position of theirwork can not be ignored and the possibility of their utility will exist. All of themare worthy of respect. We can earn benefit their work in one way or the other.The possibilities of direct cooperation with them will remain coming forth. Andin this way the paths of easiness and battement can open in this regard.It is no more difficulty but pain taking job to get data on any topic or about anysubject from inter-net. I have got the biographical data about “Hungred TheGreat” from inter-net and have arranged it in an easy order.It is hoped that this work of mine will be welcomed.Maqsood Hasni
