KARACHI: The Wisdom Therapy Center at the Department of Public Administration, University of Karachi, hosted the inaugural session of its new intellectual program, “Hum Nashist,” aimed at transmitting local wisdom and life experiences to the younger generation.
Unlike formal lectures, “Hum Nashist” focused on thoughtful dialogue, personal observations, and lived experiences, providing participants with an opportunity for self-reflection and meaningful discussion.
The chief guest, former Vice Chancellor of Hamdard University and acting chairperson of KU’s Department of Public Administration, Professor Dr Syed Shabib Ul Hasan, highlighted the importance of self-awareness and life purpose, stressing that success is a continuous journey built on perseverance and meaningful companionship.
He praised the role of teachers as guiding lights, describing the profession as a sacred responsibility akin to that of the Prophets (Peace Be Upon Him). Dr Hasan also encouraged the youth to take pride in their traditions, values, and the Urdu language, integrating them into their identity.
Participants described the session as inspiring, thought-provoking, and purposeful, expressing hope that such programs would continue to preserve and share intellectual and moral heritage with future generations.
Dr Mustafa Hyder, organizer at KU’s Wisdom Therapy Center, emphasized that initiatives like “Hum Nashist” are crucial for promoting serious dialogue, intellectual guidance, and positive societal values, and confirmed that these sessions will be held regularly in the future.
