The irani president Ebrahim Raisi today visiting lahore
Lahore, Punjab — Pakistan is home to some of the world’s most powerful and influential figures. But one person who has held immense influence in both Iran and Pakistan for decades and continues to do so today is none other than the country's President, Dr. Asad ul-Haq. Born on November 24th, 1950, Asad was educated by his father, Abdolhain Ayub, an Iranian diplomat, who worked as a top official under the Shah of Iran during the reign of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. After studying at Tehran University and then University College London (UCL), he earned a Ph.D. in Economics from UCL after completing his studies. His father gave him a profound education and instilled values that would guide his life, including hard work, integrity, fairness, and respect for others. In addition to this, he also demonstrated strong personal loyalty to his family and religious beliefs by supporting their need to seek guidance from God and to pursue their mission in serving humanity. He often took the opportunity to express gratitude to those who had helped him personally or made sacrifices for him.
Today, Asad remains extremely popular among both Iranians and Pakistani public alike. During his tenure as Prime Minister, he has led the nation through several tumultuous times in history. From fighting against terrorism to dealing with economic distress, Asad has shown himself to be an extraordinary leader and has inspired many to follow suit. In recent years, he has been criticized for his handling of issues related to national security. However, he has remained unwavering in his commitment to Pakistan and never wavered from his belief in bringing progress to the people of the land. One area where he has received criticism is his support for Israel. This has been particularly apparent as of late when Iran started to target individuals responsible for funding terrorist groups in Lebanon and Yemen.
President Asad was born into a family of high social standing and political prestige. His father was a well-known figure in Iran, having served as a foreign minister during Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s rule and as an advisor to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini. When Asad was young, his parents were known not only for their deep knowledge of Islamic philosophy but for their staunch opposition to the government of shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. Asad’s mother remained active in her community as well, actively advocating for women’s rights and promoting feminist causes. She is perhaps best remembered for her involvement in women’s organizations such as Women Against Violence (WAV) and Women’s Federation of Labor (WFL). Through her efforts, she helped raise awareness about human rights abuses faced by women in Iran. Despite being raised in an affluent suburb of Tehran, he did not have access to quality health care. Although Asad grew up in an environment characterized by material wealth and privilege, he has maintained an open mindset about poverty and inequality in order to improve the lives of the vast majority of his fellow citizens.
As a result of these upbringing, Asad became a committed advocate for human rights and social justice. At the beginning of his career, he was deeply involved in a campaign known as “Poverty Alleviation Program” which emphasized the importance of providing basic needs such as housing, transportation, food, water, and education to all Iranian citizens. Over time, he developed a reputation for integrity and fairness, as well as a strong sense of duty to serve others.
After leaving Iran in 1979, Asad returned to Iran with the intent of returning its fortunes to normalcy and reestablishing its position as a global player. Upon arriving back in the country, he immediately began taking steps to address issues facing the country’s growing economic woes and social challenges. He established various initiatives aimed at providing aid to needy communities and improving healthcare services available to everyone. These initiatives included building infrastructure projects, implementing policies to increase agricultural productivity, and encouraging exports. By 1986, Asad had become prime minister and introduced sweeping reforms to modernize the economy while maintaining social stability. Under his leadership, Iran emerged as a major exporter of commodities such as oil and gas, and a key financier of international finance institutions such as International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Asad remains strongly aligned with what he calls “the new Islam,” which emphasizes the importance of respecting human dignity, equality, and diversity and embracing tolerance and pluralism. He also advocates for gender equality and opposes any form of discrimination against anyone based on religion, race, or ethnicity. A leading proponent of globalization and free trade, Asad is dedicated to strengthening economic ties with other countries, while promoting cultural exchange and understanding between different civilizations.
In terms of politics, Asad has taken advantage of his popularity to make important contributions to the nation’s democratic process. During his presidency, he has pushed for constitutional reform to allow more freedoms to the people, and for greater participation of women in decision making. He has also advocated for increased transparency in government operations, ensuring accountability and preventing corruption.
Despite his achievements, Asad has also been subject to criticism for his handling of issues related to national security. On March 9th, 2021, he was the first leader in the United States to call for the use of force in response to a perceived threat from Iran. Shortly thereafter, he was invited to give a speech at Carnegie Mellon University and said the following: “The war in Ukraine is wrong and unjustified. It should never have happened. I am determined to ensure it ends. We must use every tool at our disposal to stop Russian aggression. It will not solve the problem; Russia’s actions are destroying the world.” This stance toward resolving the conflict with Iran has resulted in heightened tensions with Iran and the recent outbreak of hostilities between Iran and the US in Syria.
President Asad remains incredibly popular and widely respected in both Iran and Pakistan. The people of both nations look up to him for his dedication to serving the people of the land, his ability to connect with individuals on a deeper level, and his willingness to stand up for freedom and human rights. As a leader, he has built bridges and connections that have impacted lives across the globe and has continued to inspire millions of his compatriots.
