The Founder

Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said (1920-1998)

established Hamdard Pakistan in 1948. Within a few

years, the herbal medical products of Hamdard

became household names. The phenomenal success

of Hamdard products is a legendary part of the

business history of Pakistan. The name Hamdard

however acquired a still wider meaning, when Hakim

Mohammed Said founded Hamdard University in

1991. The establishment of a university which could

enliven the intellectual tradition 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

endeavours were directed. The actual appearance of

the university was just the culmination of a long

dedicated and continued effort spanning his whole

life. However, apart from being a great educational

leader, Hakim Mohammed Said was also one of the

finest exponents of eastern medicine, who had treated

millions of patients from all over the world including

Pakistan, Europe,Africa and the Middle East 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, Hakim Mohammed Said also achieved

international renown as a scholar and researcher in medicine in recognition of his

meritorious services and scholarly achievements . He was awarded Nishan-e-Imtiaz

(Posthumous) by the Government of Pakistan in 2002. As 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. Hakim Mohammed Said also created two

very widely attended national forums: Hamdard Shura (for leaders of public opinion)


2

and Naunehal Assembly (for children). He attended and presented 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 various national and international organizations related to education

and health care, the fields to which his contributions are universally acknowledged. A

man of Herculean intellectual and organizational capabilities, Shaheed Hakim

Mohammed Said will be remembered for establishing Hamdard University, which he

stewarded to appear as one of the top institutions of higher education and learning in

Pakistan.
