He dedicated wholly to his father, late Haji Mullah Mohammad Shafi Khan and his mother, late Mrs. Faridan Begum who were very much fond of spreading education and were indeed a source of strength. Mrs. Noor Fatima Khan-his wife was the driving wheel behind this cause and though she is no more, but we still intend to work on her wishes to establish its branches at various places in Aligarh, the city of literates and also at other places in India and abroad, if Allah permits.
