Amna Irfan - The brave Soul on Earth


I came to know Amna for the first time when she appeared for an interview for the post of Circulation Librarian at FC College University. What a confident and intelligent candidate. Where is she from? I looked at the CV and surprised even more - Kot Radha Kishan - how can such a small village produce such a brilliant librarian speaking English so fluently and confidently.

She was selected and joined us - And what a difference she made - a well knitting team member - a helpful, hardworking and fast learning young girl. I decided to groom her in all aspects, Librarianship, Leadership, Newsletter, I encouraged and persuaded her to enter all areas in a small period of two years and she never failed me. All of us are witness of her outstanding performance in all areas.

On the day of PULISAA Oath-taking, she was in unbearable pain and I was asking her to see the doctor. She said, Ma'm let me handle the ceremony first.

Ah! my lovely little angel. i was the first one to know of her condition and she requested me not to anyone know about it. She said, Ma'm I'll fight it but I think I should resign my post otherwise the Library work will suffer ... But, I could not bear this .... I said you don't worry. Just take care of this illness and fight it out. I'll take care of your work for you. You just get well and come back... But this time she didn't do what she was told... I kept her post for her till last moment, but she didn't come back!

Amna was a promising Librarian, a loving daughter and a responsible colleague!

May Allah bless this innocent and pure soul and May she rest in peace and Heaven for ever and Ever ......and Ever....  Amin!
