PIA grounds 11 aircraft; three deemed beyond repair.

RAWALPINDI: Pakis­tan International Airlines (PIA) has grounded 11 aircraft, including three of its Boeing 777s, as the national flag carrier faces a serious financial crisis due to the uncontrolled flight of dollars and increase in prices of petroleum products.

Pakistan International Airlines is an international airline that serves as the flag carrier of Pakistan under the administrative control of the Secretary to the Government of Pakistan for Aviation.

According to sources, the airline, which operates around 30 aircraft, has been facing serious difficulties in procuring spare parts for the past three years due to scarcity of funds, which has resulted in the grounding of 11 planes.



Two of the three wide-body Boeing 777 aircraft were grounded in 2020 and one in 2021. Five A320 aircraft have also been grounded — two in 2021 and three in 2023. PIA also grounded three ATR aircraft — one each in 2020, 2022 and 2023.

A senior official of the airline said the PIA fleet consisted of 31 aircraft and three of the 11 grounded planes — Boeing 777, Airbus and ATR — are beyond repair for want of engines and other parts.

The official said PIA is currently operating with the remaining 20 aircraft and the flight operations are being carried out according to the available aircraft. He said the airline will be facing a shortage of aircraft if flights are increased, especially on international routes.

PIA’s website shows its network spans across Asia, Europe and North Amer­ica, covering 19 countries.

SSA office closed

Separately, the office of the Senior Staff Associa­tion (SSA) has been closed by the PIA management “to maintain law and order situation and smooth functioning of the corporation’s activities”.

Safdar Anjum, the secretary general of SSA, termed the closure of their office illegal and an attempt to sabotage peace of the organisation.

In a press release, the People’s Unity said the protest will continue till the acceptance of all their demands. In order to stop the privatisation process and make all daily-wage employees permanent, the two-hour long strike across the country will continue on Tuesday as well, it added.

Hidayatullah Khan, the central president of People’s Unity, said the protest will continue until all demands are accepted and they will expand the scope of the protest from Tuesday to all offices throughout the country.

A manhunt has been launched by Pakistani police for a man who allegedly shot dead his seven-day-old baby girl because he wanted his first-born to be a son.

The incident took place on Monday in the Mianwali city of Pakistan’s Punjab province where the father, identified as Shahzaib Khan, escaped after firing multiple shots at the infant, according to police officials.

The baby girl — named Jannat, meaning “heaven” in Urdu — was hit by five bullets and died instantly, Mianwali police officer Hayatullah Khan said.

“We are trying to arrest the accused, who is still at large,” Mr Khan said.

Hidayatullah Khan, the girl’s maternal uncle, has lodged a formal police complaint against the father over the killing.

“A baby girl was born... he was infuriated,” Mr Khan said, referring to the father.

Mr Khan told the Dawn newspaper that the other family members who witnessed the killing were threatened by the suspect who allegedly pointed a gun at them before asking his wife to hand over the girl.

The girl’s brutal murder has sparked outrage on social media in Pakistan as many condemned the killing as “barbaric” and “brutal”.

“This is beyond barbaric, brutal and vicious. The only solution to stop this brutality is hanging him publicly,” Twitter user Tehseen Qasim said.

“I’m disgusted to the core. I feel terribly for the mother. Look at the beautiful daughter she had. Women lead the world, it’s 2022 FFS. #Mianwaliincident #mianwali #WomenDay2022,” wrote Misbah Munir, another Twitter user.

Aurat Azadi March, a women’s collective that holds annual rallies against the violation of women’s rights in Pakistan, said the incident came right before International Women’s Day and showed the country’s reality in terms of the treatment of women and girls.

“We need to wake up to the reality of this country and fight against such injustice and oppression,” the collective said in a tweet.

The south Asian nation is one of the poorest performers in the world in terms of gender parity.

The World Economic Forum’s 2021 Gender Gap Index showed the country at the 153rd position out of a total 156 countries, in part because of how gender-based violence has worsened over the years.

In the last two years, more than 500 bodies of infants have been found dumped in Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, with the majority of them being girls, according to Faisal Edhi, head of the Edhi Foundation, the city’s largest social welfare charity group.

Ziauddin Malala's father, whose dream growing up was to start a school. He founded the Kushal School, which Malala attended throughout her childhood, and he was a constant advocate for education.

Nawab Ali An Urdu teacher at Malala's school who refused to teach them anymore after the Taliban began to take over.

Madam Maryam The principal at Malala's school, who is like a second mother figure to Malala and the other girls at the Kushal School.

Malka-e-Noor The girl who repeatedly challenges Malala for the top spot in the class.

Safina The neighbor girl who steals Malala's favorite toy. Malala steals from her as payback, but gets caught, thereby realizing that it is better to be honest.

Rehenna The hospital's Muslim chaplain, who helps to ease Malala's transition into this new culture.

Atuallah Khan The man who shot Malala.

Asif Zardari The President of Pakistan, who comes to visit Malala while she is in the hospital in Birmingham.

Quotes:

"Who is Malala? I am Malala, and this is my story."

Malala ends the memoir's short prologue by echoing the question that the Taliban militant asked before shooting her in the face. In these pages she finally gets the chance to answer the question, which she did not have when it happened. She claims her name and her identity, in spite of the Taliban attempting to silence her.

"I am Malala. My world has changed but I have not."

Malala ends her memoir almost the same way that she started it, answering the question that came to define her life when the Taliban asked for her in the back of the bus. She once again lays claim to her identity, and acknowledges that even though she leads an entirely different life now, she still maintains the values, principles, and goals that she has nurtured throughout her entire life.

Symbols:

Malala's Schoolbooks When Malala and her family leave Swat and become IDPs, Malala repeatedly wonders whether or not her schoolbooks will be safe and when she will be able to study them. For Malala, her schoolbooks represent the education she has received and the education she hopes to receive in the future. They are a source of hope that she will be able to accomplish her goal of promoting schooling for all girls, not only those as lucky as she is.

The Almonds After Malala gets in trouble for stealing a neighbor girl's toys, she relays a story about a time when she was younger and ate some almonds in the bazaar that her mother could not pay for. When her father found out, he went and bought all of the almonds. She says they became a reminder of guilt, but they are also a reminder to remain honest. The memory of these almonds is one of the things that keep Malala believing that honesty is the best policy.

The Burqa The burqa, which is a full-body garment covering even the face, is a symbol of the Taliban's oppression of women. Though Muslim women cover their heads for many reasons, a face covering obscures the identity of a woman, which is part of what the Taliban seeks to do. Over the course of Taliban occupation of Pakistan, women in burqas become a prominent symbol of the Taliban.

The Schoolbus The school bus on which Malala and two other girls were shot becomes a symbol of the tragedy later on. Malala includes a picture of the bus among the photos of her life that she adds in at the end of the memoir; the picture shows the bloodstains that still remain. This bus was meant to be a safe space, but, as with many other safe spaces in Swat, the Taliban corrupted it.

The Buddhas Swat Valley's ancient Buddha statues, left from when Buddhism moved through the valley, are prominent symbols of Swat's rich history and, most importantly, the region's tolerance of faiths other than Islam. When the Taliban destroy these Buddha statues, they send the message that they will not tolerate any beliefs other than Islam, and that they are eager to erase the past.

Similes and Metaphors:

"It seemed to us that the Taliban had arrived in the night just like vampires." (Chapter 9, Simile)

Malala and Moniba both read Twilight, a famous book series by Stephenie Meyer about vampires. They compare the approaching Taliban to vampires, slinking through the night and arriving unexpectedly. This is an important simile because it emphasizes the degree to which the people of Swat were caught off-guard when the Taliban began to occupy their formerly peaceful valley.

"For us girls that doorway was like a magical entrance to our own special world." (Prologue, Simile)

In this simile, Malala speaks about the entrance to the Kushal School, and how magical it felt growing up and spending every day going through these doors. For Malala, school was a sanctuary, a place where she and her friends could be themselves and focus solely on receiving an education. Even during their occupation of Swat, the Taliban could not take away their indescribable love for attending school.

Irony:

Malala vs. her father (Dramatic Irony) Malala's family constantly fears that Ziauddin, Malala's father, will be the one targeted by the Taliban because of they way he speaks out against them. No one thinks for a second that even the Taliban is cruel enough to target Malala. It is thus ironic it is Malala whom they try to kill.

Malala's Father's Stutter (Situational Irony) Despite the stutter that has impaired his speech throughout his life, Malala's father ironically devotes his life to public speaking, voicing his thoughts and rallying people to his side to stand against the Taliban. It is ironic that a man who loves poetry, words, and speaking would be cursed with such an impediment.

The Taliban and Islam (Situational Irony) Malala and many other Muslims believe that Islam is a peaceful religion, one that respects and values women and encourages tolerance and acceptance. It is ironic, then, that the Taliban claims to be fighting in the name of Islam, and yet goes against all of these accepted Islamic values.

Literary Elements:

Genre Memoir

Setting and Context Swat Valley, Pakistan, from 1997 to 2013

Narrator and Point of View Malala Yousafzai, a girl growing up in Pakistan under the Taliban’s control, narrates the memoir in first-person past tense.

Tone and Mood The first part of the memoir, when Malala is living happily in Swat, attending school and remaining at the top of her class, has a much more lighthearted tone. The tone and mood darken once the Taliban arrive to Swat Valley in 2007, and becomes much more urgent as Malala and her father step up as activists.

Protagonist and Antagonist Malala is the protagonist, while the Taliban—an oppressive Islamic fundamentalist organization that occupied Swat Valley during her adolescence—is the antagonist.

Major Conflict Though there are many struggles that accompany daily life in Swat, the primary conflict is over the Taliban's occupation of Swat. The Taliban have banned girls' education, something Malala believes is invaluable. Not only does Malala want to continue going to school, but she wants all other girls to receive an education as well, and throughout the memoir she stands up against the Taliban to promote this.

Climax The climax of the memoir occurs when a Taliban officer boards Malala's school bus, asks for her by name, and then shoots her in the face.

Foreshadowing Malala narrates this memoir in retrospect, so there are many instances where she hints at what is going to happen. A notable instance of foreshadowing occurs at the end of Chapter 23, when Malala finishes the chapter about her hospitalization in Birmingham by saying, "I didn't realize then I wouldn't be going home" (pg. 143).

Allusions Malala repeatedly alludes to Twilight, the famous book series about vampires by Stephenie Meyer. When the Taliban comes to Swat Valley, she says, "It seemed to us that the Taliban arrived in the night just like vampires" (pg. 60).

In Hindu Extremists India, Hate-Filled Songs Are A Weapon To Target Muslims

— BY SHEIKH SAALIQ | April 22, 2022 | The Associated Press

NEW DELHI (AP) — The frenzied fury against Muslims began with provocative songs played by Hindu mobs that called for violence. It ended with Muslim neighborhoods resembling a war zone, with pavements littered with broken glass, charred vehicles and burned mosques.

On April 10, a Hindu festival marking the birth anniversary of Lord Ram turned violent in Madhya Pradesh state’s Khargone city after Hindu mobs brandishing swords and sticks marched past Muslim neighborhoods and mosques. Videos showed hundreds of them dancing and cheering in unison to songs blared from loudspeakers that included calls for violence against Muslims.

Soon groups of Hindus and Muslims began throwing stones at each other, police said. By the time the violence subsided, the Muslims were left disproportionately affected. Their shops and homes were looted and set ablaze. Mosques were desecrated and burned. Overnight, dozens of families were displaced.

“Our lives were destroyed in just one day,” said Hidayatullah Mansuri, a mosque official.

It was the latest in a series of attacks against Muslims in India, where hardline Hindu nationalists have long espoused a rigid anti-Muslim stance and preached violence against them. But increasingly, incendiary songs directed at Muslims have become a precursor to these attacks.

They are part of what is known as “saffron pop,” a reference to the color associated with the Hindu religion and favored by Hindu nationalists. Many such songs openly call for the killing of Muslims and those who do not endorse “Hindutva,” a Hindu nationalist movement that seeks to turn officially secular India into an avowedly Hindu nation.

For some of the millions of Indian Muslims, who make up 14% of the country’s 1.4 billion people, these songs are the clearest example of rising anti-Muslim sentiment across the country. They fear that hate music is yet another tool in the hands of Hindu nationalists to target them.

“These songs make open calls for our murder, and nobody is making them stop,” said Mansuri.

The violence in Khargone left one Muslim dead and the body was found seven days later, senior police officer Anugraha. P said. She said police arrested several people for rioting but did not specify whether anyone who played the provocative songs was among them.

India’s history is pockmarked with bloody communal violence dating back to the British partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947. But religious polarization has significantly increased under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government, with minority Muslims often targeted for everything from their food and clothing style to inter-religious marriages.

The hate-filled soundtracks have further heightened tensions, but the creators of these songs see them as a form of devotion to their faith and a mere assertion of being a “proud Hindu.”

“India is a Hindu nation and my songs celebrate our religion. What’s wrong with that?” said singer Sandeep Chaturvedi.

Among the many songs played in Khargone before the violence, Chaturvedi’s was the most provocative. That song exhorts Hindus to “rise” so that “those who wear skull caps will bow down to Lord Ram,” referring to Muslims. It goes on to say that when Hindu “blood boils” it will show Muslims their rightful place with their “sword.”

For Chaturvedi, a self-avowed Hindu nationalist, the lyrics are not hate-filled or provocative. They rather signify “the mood of the people.”

“Every Hindu likes my songs. It brings them closer to their religion,” he said.

Chaturvedi’s assessment is partly true. Despite the tacky production quality, poorly matched lip-synching and repetitive techno beats, many of the music videos for these songs have millions of views on YouTube and are a hit among the country’s Hindu youth.

Music in a variety of languages, and often in praise of various Hindu deities, has historically been an important part of Hinduism. Bhajan, a style of devotional music performed in temples and homes, remains a key part of this tradition. But observers say the gradual rise of Hindu nationalism has encouraged a more aggressive form of music that spawns anti-Muslim sentiments.

Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay, a journalist based in New Delhi who has written a biography on Modi, said the hate songs were first harnessed in the early 1990s by Hindu nationalists through audio cassettes that were set to the tune of popular Bollywood music, helping them appeal to younger listeners. The beginning of that decade saw a violent campaign by India’s right wing that in 1992 led to the demolition of a 16th-century mosque in central India by a Hindu mob, catapulting Modi’s party to national prominence.

Mukhopadhyay said the songs have since become a “time-tested trope” of Hindu nationalists to “insult Muslims, disparage their religion and provoke them into responding.”

“Most mob attacks against Muslims follow a similar pattern. A large procession of Hindus enters Muslim neighborhoods and plays hate speeches and incendiary songs which inevitably escalates into communal violence. The songs are, in fact, played with even greater vigor in front of the mosques to elicit a response from Muslims,” said Mukhopadhyay, who has also written about major riots in India.

Over the years, the songs have become common during Hindu festivals and are not just limited to the fringe.

The day violence struck Khargone, T. Raja Singh, a lawmaker from Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, led a similar procession of Hindu devotees in southern Hyderabad city and belted out a self-composed song that made veiled references to the removal of Muslims from the country. Police charged him with “hurting the religious sentiments of people.”

Similar songs that called for Hindus to kill those who do not chant “Jai Shri Ram!” or “Hail Lord Ram,” a slogan that has become a battle cry for Hindu nationalists, were also played in front of mosques in multiple Indian cities on the same day. They were followed by a wave of violence, leaving at least one dead in Gujarat state.

Meanwhile, the demand for these songs keeps rising.

Last week, the singer Laxmi Dubey performed some of her hits before a Hindu gathering in central India’s Bhopal city. In one song, she exhorted a cheering crowd of Hindus to “cut off the tongues of enemies who speak against Lord Ram,” videos from the event showed.

On Saturday, the same song was played in New Delhi during a procession marking another Hindu festival. TV broadcasts showed hundreds of Hindu youth, brandishing swords and homemade handguns, marching through a Muslim neighborhood as loudspeakers blasted the hate-filled music.

In a phone interview, Dubey said it showed her music was widely accepted.

“It is what people want,” she said.

The Flying Horse

Pakistan Field Hockey Legend Olympian Samiullah Khan: Who Gave the Title of ‘Flying Horse’ to Samiullah Khan, Who Represented Pakistan in Four World Cups?

— Rightnowtimes.Com | July 16, 2020

In 1975, Pakistan and Germany competed in the semi-finals of the 3rd World Hockey Cup in Malaysia. It was going to be the first match between the two teams since the Munich Olympics.

The bitter memories of the Munich Olympics were not yet erased from the minds of Pakistani fans and athletes, but this time no bitter event happened and the Pakistani hockey team outclassed Germany by five goals to one.

In this one-sided victory of the Pakistani hockey team, the game of one player stands out, who not only scores two goals himself but also the other three goals scored by Pakistan in the match as a result of his efforts.

The next day, all the major Malaysian newspapers reported on the Pakistani team’s extraordinary performance. This player was left out Samiullah.

Slow motion pictures and ‘Flying Horse’ address

Samiullah still remembers how the title ‘Flying Horse’ became part of his name.

“Akhtar Rasool came to my room the day after the semi-finals,” he says. He had a few newspapers in his hand. He said with a sigh that it seems that all the people in this newspaper are your friends who have written so many compliments on you.

“A German photographer took ten pictures of me playing in a sequence to show the audience how my movement with the ball is. The news also included a statement from German team coach Paul Lazic who said that Samiullah Flying Horse had destroyed our team.

“That was the first time someone called me ‘Flying Horse’ which later became a permanent part of my name.”

Samiullah is saddened that in the same World Cup final, he fell due to a stick in the foot of Indian halfback Virender Singh and broke his clavicle, which forced him to play hockey for three months. Had to stay away from

Whose Influences on Career?

“My family used to do athletics,” says Samiullah. My two uncles, Olympians Matiullah and Amanullah Zamana, used to compete in student athletics. I also took part in athletics regularly during my school and college days.

He says he was named the best athlete of Sadiq Egerton College in Bahawalpur in 1971.

Uncle Matiullah used to give me a sprint of 50 meters and then 100 meters. Whenever he went to practice I would go with him and see how he hit and how he stopped the ball. “You can’t be a good player unless you stop the ball properly,” he said.

Samiullah says his uncle, Matiullah, was a member of the Rome Olympics winning team that replaced a world-class athlete like Latif-ur-Rehman. Matiullah’s greatest virtue was that he crossed without twisting and the ball went between the penalty stroke mark and the goalkeeper, a virtue that later became part of Samiullah’s game.

“My speed was from the beginning but when I started playing hockey, the late Nabi Kelat and former Olympian Saeed Anwar taught me skills. “Your speed is very fast, so if someone is running half-back with you, try to get him right behind you,” he said. I followed his lead and took advantage of my speed.

He says, “Shahnaz Sheikh used to do a lot of dribbling but he was not aggressive. I showed the style that as soon as he went within 25 yards, he would immediately cut in.” “We started a new tradition of attacking rival teams from the left. It was a surprise to the world because the Pakistani team used to attack only from the right.”

Best in Bhutto’s Eyes

Samiullah remembers well the time when the 1974 Asian Games training camp was in Hassan Abdal and Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto came to see who the good player was. Me or Safdar Abbas?

Abdul Hafeez Pirzada had told Bhutto that Safdar Abbas was the best left out. Pirzada thought that since I am from Bahawalpur and PHF president Sadiq Hussain Qureshi is from Multan, the likes are getting disliked.

He says that when Bhutto saw his match in the camp and he was playing, he looked at Hafeez Pirzada and smiled and said jokingly, “Pirzada, you always miss the guide.” Samiullah is the best. At the same time he said to me, “Well done boy.”

‘Ball from Kaleemullah to Samiullah then Kaleemullah’

This interesting phrase heard in hockey commentary was not just a mental invention or a joke, but it was all seen on the field.

Samiullah says of his younger brother Kaleemullah, “Kaleemullah used to play center half in the beginning, but when Brigadier Atif and Saeed Anwar tried to halve his position, I argued with him a lot. Feed at the second position.

Air Marshal Noor Khan was also present in the discussion. Eventually, Kaleemullah was selected as the right out after the retirement of Islahuddin. Kaleemullah also had speed and variety in his game and he also got the best right like Manzoor Jr. who used to make him a ball.

Samiullah says, “Everyone will remember that when I used to play left out and Kaleemullah right out, we used to be very interchangeable.” We were very close. This is the result of a famous phrase that is still heard today, Samiullah to Kaleemullah. Kaleemullah to Samiullah. The two are playing each other.

He says that in international hockey, it is very rare for two wings to cross each other and the ball does not go to another player.

Hidayatullah, Samiullah’s elder brother, played with Samiullah in the 1973 World Cup.

Samiullah says, “Hidayatullah was two years older than me, but whenever there was a difficult match, his hands and feet would swell.” He was left out in the 1973 World Cup and I was playing left in. Most of the time I would give them the ball and they would give it back to me immediately.

“I told them you shouldn’t do that but keep the ball with you and move it forward but when I saw in two matches that my words had no effect on them, I did it myself. Also had to I remember I scored a goal in the semi-final against India but it was declared offside and rejected.

Four World Cups and Goals in Each

Samiullah represented Pakistan in four World Cups, of which Pakistan won the 1978 and 1982 World Cups. Samiullah has the honor of scoring in all four World Cups.

Samiullah was also part of the Pakistani team that won two Champions Trophy and three Asian Games.

He was the captain of the Pakistani team that won the Asian Games in 1982, defeating India by seven goals to one in the final. This is the same match in which Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was disappointed with the disappointing performance of her team and left the match unfinished.

Impact of Alumina Trihydrate and Silica on Mechanical, Thermal and Electrical Properties of Silicone Rubber Composites for High Voltage Insulations-Crimson Publishers

Impact of Alumina Trihydrate and Silica on Mechanical, Thermal and Electrical Properties of Silicone Rubber Composites for High Voltage Insulations by Hidayatullah Khan* in Crimson Publishers: Peer Reviewed Material Science Journals

In recent years, silicone rubber (SiR) based composites have been widely investigated for outdoor applications due to its promising insulating properties. However, mechanical, thermal and tracking properties of pure silicone rubber are very low, which restrains its application for long-term performance. In this research work, the influence of micro-sized alumina-tri-hydrate (ATH) and micro/nano-sized silica (SiO2) fillers on mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of room temperature vulcanized (RTV) SiR has been studied. SiR-blends with varying amounts of ATH and SiO2 particles were prepared, by following blending in a two roll mixing mill, compression moulding and post curing processes sequentially. In order to evaluate relative tracking and erosion resistance of SiR-blends, inclined plane test (IPT) was conducted in accordance with ASTM-D-2303 standard procedure. Surface temperature distribution was recorded using Fluke-Ti25 infrared (IR) camera during IPT experiments. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carried out to analyze thermal stability of ATH/SiO2 filled SiR Composites. Surface morphology, tensile strength, percent elongation at break (%EAB), hardness, erosion, tracking resistance and thermal properties were also investigated and discussed. Results showed that the mechanical, thermal and tracking/erosion performance of SiR-blends improves by the incorporation of ATH/silica particles, which is governed by filler type, size and wt% in polymer matrix.

Rahman Baba

Abdur Rahmān Bābā was a Pashtun poet from Peshawar in the Mughal Empire (modern-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan). He, along with his contemporary Khushal Khan Khattak, is considered one of the most popular poets among the Pashtuns in Afghanistan and Pakistan.  His poetry expresses a peaceful mystical side of local culture which is becoming increasingly threatened by less tolerant interpretations of Islam. 

Rahman's lineage

Rahman was a member of the Ghoriakhel Mohmand sub-tribe of the Pashtuns, a group which originally migrated from the Hindu Kush mountains of central Afghanistan to the Peshawar valley, from the 13th to the 16th century. He grew up in a small pocket of Mohmand settlers on the outskirts of Peshawar. Rahman apparently lived peacefully in the area, and never mentions his involvement in the fierce inter-tribal conflicts of his day.

Opinion is divided about Rahman's family background. Several commentators are convinced that his family were village Maliks (chieftains).  However, Rahman Baba was more likely to have been a simple, though learned man. As he himself claimed: "Though the wealthy drink water from a golden cup, I prefer this clay bowl of mine." 

Abdur Rahman Baba died in 1715 CE, and his tomb is housed in a large domed shrine, or mazar, on the southern outskirts of Peshawar (Ring Road Hazar Khwani). The site of his grave is a popular place for poets and mystics to collect to recite his popular poetry. In April each year, there is a larger gathering to celebrate his anniversary.

Religious background

Rahman Baba was an ascetic but various unfounded theories have been made about who Rahman's guide may have been, and to which order he was attached. Sabir suggests that Rahman had a Naqshbandi Sufi tariqa initiation in Kohat, as well as training from the sons of Pir Baba. Schimmel and Saad Ahmed Baksh casually assign Rahman to the Chishti order. Aqab, himself of the Qadiriyyah order, claims Rahman was a Qadiri.

Shrine

On 8 March 2009, "militants" bombed Rahman Baba's tomb in Peshawar. "The high intensity device almost destroyed the grave ... and the gates of a mosque, canteen and conference hall situated in the ... Rehman Baba Complex. Police said the bombers had tied explosives around the pillars of the tombs, to pull down the mausoleum". The shrine reopened in November 2012 after Rs. 39m reconstruction. 

Published work

A collection of Rahman's poetry, called the Diwan (Anthology) of Rahman Baba, contains 343 poems, most of which are written in his native Pashto. The Diwan of Rahman Baba was in wide circulation by 1728. There are over 25 original hand-written manuscripts of the Diwan scattered in various libraries worldwide, including ten in the Pashto Academy in Peshawar, four in the British Library, three in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, as well as copies in the John Rylands Library in Manchester, the Bodleian Library in Oxford and the University Library Aligath. The first printed version was collected by the Anglican Missionary T.P. Hughes and printed in Lahore in 1877.  It is this version which remains the most commonly used to this day.

Selected verses from Rahman Baba's Diwan translated into English rhyme

About 111 verses were translated into English Rhyme and published by Arbab Hidayatullah, himself a Ghoriakhel Mohmand, in 2009. The original Pashto version has been transliterated into the Roman alphabet in order to make it easier to read for those who can not read the Pashto alphabet. This translation, with a tilt to the romantic side of Rahman Baba's poetry, has been very well received.
