Dr. Kazi Taqiuddin Adil and family

Dr. Kazi T. Adil

Born on July 23, 1950 (Shawwal 7, 1369) at Hyderabad, Dr. Kazi Taqiuddin Adil is the second son and the third child of Kazi Abdur Rasheed and Muneerunnisa Begum. He presently lives in Karachi. He is married to Meenaz, and has three children: Yusaira, Ruhaifa and Nasir.

 

Dr. Adil is a cardiologist and a physician. Having acquired his Intermediate (F.Sc.) education from St. Patrick's College in Karachi, he graduated from the Dow Medical College, Karachi in 1975. He obtained his training in Internal Medicine from USA and obtained his specialist education and qualifications in cardiology from the Cardiovascular Institute (Brompton Hospital and London Heart) at London U.K.

 

Dr. Adil acquired his primary education at the Grammar School in Hyderabad until 1956, when he joined St. Mary's School in Bellary in 2^nd Standard in February 1957. At the end of that year, when the family moved to Bangalore, Adil was admitted to St. Joseph's European High School. Within a couple of months, he was admitted to the Lawrence School of Lovedale at Ooty (a hill station mid-way between Bangalore and Madras) in the 3^rd Standard with a scholarship. Lawrence School was a boarding school and was considered to be a premier institution in the region. After 3 years of study in the beautiful environs of Ooty, Adil returned to Bangalore and rejoined St. Joseph's European High School in the 6^th Standard in January 1961. He completed his Matric in December 1965 and his PUC in June 1967 from the same school.

 

In July 1967, Adil migrated to Pakistan on an Emergency Certificate along with his Nanima (maternal grandmother).

Adil joined St. Patrick's College in 1967. He had to repeat the 11^th Grade, since PUC is not recognized in Pakistan. This was a loss of one year. He was thus able to complete his Intermediate (HSSC) in 1969 from the Karachi Board. He passed with a First Class. He stood first in his class at St. Patrick's and the college awarded him with a gold medal for his performance. His grades were very good, and therefore he was admitted to the Dow Medical College on merit in 1969. The colleges were delayed that year due to the political turmoil in Pakistan, with the change in government from Ayub Khan to Yahya Khan, and the imposition of Martial Law.

 

The following years were difficult years in Pakistan. With Pakistan's defeat in war against India in December 1971 and the loss of East Pakistan, the entire nation was demoralized. Mr. Bhutto became the President of the country in December 1971, and the social and political troubles continued. The schools and colleges were politicized, leading to delays in the education and examinations. The medical schooling which should have lasted 5 years took over 6 years to complete. Thus, Adil graduated as a doctor in December 1975. He completed his house job from Civil Hospital, Karachi in the beginning of 1977, and then joined the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), Karachi as a resident medical officer.

 

In February 1978, Dr. Adil proceeded to Dublin, Ireland and joined St. James Hospital as a senior house officer in Internal Medicine. Two years later, he returned to Karachi in January 1980.

 

Dr. Adil and Meenaz were married on February 3, 1980 at Karachi. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to Sharjah, U.A.E., where Dr. Adil worked at the Al-Qassimi Hospital. During this period, Dr. Adil took two breaks away from the UAE. He then proceeded on to London, UK to complete his training in Cardiology at the Brompton Hospital and Cardiothoracic Institute, London in 1986. He then returned to Dubai and established his own private practice in Dubai as a physician and cardiologist.

 

When Dr. Uzair was brought back to Pakistan on a stretcher from the USA - terminally ill - in July 1988, Dr. Adil decided to return to Pakistan to be with his brother, and care for him during those difficult days. He finally moved back with his family to Karachi in December 1988, and has been living there since. He is now a well-respected Cardiologist in town and a great support to the family at large in Karachi.

 

Yusaira Fatima Adil

Yusaira is the eldest child of Dr. Adil and Meenaz Adil. Yusaira was born on March 2nd, 1981 (25 Rabi` al-Thani 1401) at the Al-Qassimi Hospital, Sharjah, U.A.E. Like her mother, she is tall, having already gained a height of 5' 6 1/2".

 

She acquired her primary education in Sharjah (Al-Wahda Nursery and Rosary School). Yusaira joined the Karachi Public School when her parents moved back to Karachi in 1989. Over these years, she passed through the school with flying colours, and completed her "O" Levels in 1997 with 5 "A" grades and 3 "B"s. With this achievement, she completed here Intermediate from Raana Liaquat Ali Khan (RLAK) College of Home Economics in 1999, and B.A.

Kazi Nasiruddin Adil

Nasir is the baby of the family. Not only is he the youngest, he is the only boy in the family. He was born on December 12, 1984 at Sharjah, U.A.E. He moved with his family to Karachi in November 1988.

 

Nasir started his education at Al-Wahda Nursery in Sharjah. When he came to Karachi, he joined Karachi Public School in Prep 1 in 1988, and he studied there until Class 2. At that point in time, his parents decided to get Nasir to become Hafiz-e-Qur'an. He stopped his formal education and joined an Islamic school to memorize the Qur'an in 1992. Having memorized 7 out of the 30 paras (or juz') of the Qur'an, he rejoined Karachi Public School in 1995 in Class 5, while he continues to memorize the Qur'an at home during his off-hours, ma sha' Allah.

 

Despite the break of 3 years from school, Nasir has been able to establish himself as one of the top most students in his class. He always secures one of the top three positions in his class. This is the blessing of the Almighty. At present, Nasir is studying at the Middle East Technical University, Ankara Turkey.
