Pakistans Rich List of 2008

Short-listing Pakistan’s most influential business magnates or Groups has never been an easy task because there are the people who have been very powerful in nearly every regime that has held this country’s reins since the last 60 years and then we have had those seasonal species that maneuvered their voice to be heard better than most within the power corridors, but later vanished into the oblivion for one reason or the other. We have selected only those tycoons who have made their presence felt for a better part of country’s history, have earned consistently, have been setting up units at regular intervals or have been legends in stocks, currency or real estate business.

The list excludes many names that have previously qualified and all of Pakistan’s most prominent feudal land lords who would definitely make it to the top 10, expect the few land owners which have declared their assets and work force and registered with the CBR Islamabad. In order to promote the new and “unknown” Pakistani magnates we have excluded in previous entities.

Unfortunately, our extensive research does not currently include the names of a few stars that shone brightly amidst the galaxy of the influential creed of yesteryear like C.M.Latif of BECO- the Steel Man of Pakistan- who did make a lot of name once, but then got gifted with contentment somehow, although the late business wizard got very badly hit by Bhutto’s nationalization of 1970 which had inflicted an astounding thud to everybody in business then. Had it not been the case, many of our tycoons may well have managed to gain the kind of status greeting the likes of Birlas and Tatas in India today, if not the one saluting Bill Gates or Warren Buffet. Among these gifted individuals, you will find politicians-turned-businessmen, businessmen-turned-politicians or even the businessmen-cum-politicians. With malice towards none and with no intention to decorate somebody, We thus takes the pride of announcing these names. We hope this document will go a long way in serving as the most authentic endeavor of its kind for a very long time to come. It has been prepared very carefully in consultation with leading real estate barons, stock moguls, business leaders of virtue and senior bureaucrats at the Central Board of Revenue.

Kassim Dada’s family is known to have held major local equity in multinationals like Glaxo SmithKline, Brook Bond and Berger Paints, besides being the sponsoring directors of Messrs Hyderabad Electronics, Automotive Battery Limited and Interfund Bank etc. Kassim Dada is one of the few Pakistani Tycoons who used to fly on private planes from Karachi to hit cement plants in Hyderabad. It was this family which had hired Mahatama Gandhi as a solicitor in 1890 to contest a business case in South Africa. Dada, was once a symbol of wealth. Had his assets not been nationalised by Bhutto he would definitely had the status many richest men in the world enjoy today.

    HOW MAN BECAME RICH?
    Man is social animal and non-social animal; the difference between both is thinking power, awareness, and non-awareness. It is scientific period, man earn money by labor, dairy form sale and purchase, whole sale, business, stoke, exchange, social contact, waste of friends, upper grade society, industrial man, political ground, social ground, speaker form, universities and colleges education platform. All theses institutions are aware the people by training, workshop, seminar, conference, meeting/discussions. The Bright Future Social Welfare Organization also working for societies, to give awareness to the society to improve their living standard especially female’s education, health, and employment.
    Today I s an independent day 14 August 2009 and Krishna Birth Day celebrating Hindu Festival (Janmastamy). It is thinking power increase by Hindu and Muslims Brotherhoods.
    Economics, sociologist, scholars and all the institutions give different theories to improve earning behaviors and Ethics of people are very close to each other and advise to improve their life in society. The institutions that are supporting NGOs, in every step of life and socio-economics problems are appreciatable.
    Pakistan is underdeveloped country in the world; the survey institutions show that the people of Pakistan are very brave and think about the up gradation of their life. If any one who spread the hand with our area’s people and improve the life and advise the suggestions will welcome in this regards.
    I being a social worker and economists, sociologist and a President of Bright Future Social Welfare Organization will appreciate the advice, solutions from all over the thinker of Pakistan and Abroad who are working for the nation.

    This apparently sounds like a contradiction in terms. But actually, what we are taught by Islam is that the real objective of our existence is to worship Allah (SWT) through righteous conducts by living as humans in this world. So all those things that are necessary for this life become essential for man. It is one thing to say that material well being is important and even compulsory but it is quite another to say that it is the ultimate goal and centre of thought and action in life

  10. kashif Avatar

    Not a good timing for such a list, of course many of the figures are doubtful, I wonder why the list doesn’t include any Army Men? who would have made Billions or at least Millions?In the Islamic economic system, it is understood that the real owner (Creator) of all wealth is Allah (SWT). We only ‘own’ wealth by proxy as guardians. Some of us acquire wealth by engaging in the production process and hence have a direct access to wealth. These include the factors of production as defined by Islam. Others have an indirect access to wealth simply because Allah (SWT) as the real owner of wealth has stipulated that those with direct access to wealth through engagement in the production process must pass some of it on to them as He made clear in the Quran: ‘Give to them from the property of Allah (SWT) which He has bestowed upon you.’ 24:33. this usually takes the form of Zakat, kaffarat, sadaqat-ul-fitr, inheritance, etc. which are given to the poor, the needy and later generations. It is the duty of the government to ensure that such wealth is duly transferred by law.

    Notwithstanding this, Islam does not impose a limit on the amount of wealth that one can own. Rather, it controls the means of ownership such that people acquire the right to wealth in a just manner. This excludes speculation, forward transactions, lottery, and dealing with interest among other things.

    Additionally, Islam also stipulates in accordance to the ahadith of the prophet (SAW) that certain properties are to be collectively owned for the use of all citizens. These include sources of energy, pastures and natural resources including water.

    Through these ownership principles, Islam ensures that everyone gets what is rightfully due to him from his creator, unlike the capitalist system where only those who take part in the production process have the right to wealth. At the same time, it gives full incentives to individuals to fully participate in the economy by not imposing a limit on how much they can own.

    2) Economic enterprises and the prohibition of interest and hoarding

    Interest rates form the backbone of the capitalist system in many ways. It is used as a tool to regulate economic growth and monetary supply by acting as an ‘incentive’ for those who have surplus money to save/hoard. In Islam both interest and hoarding are prohibited. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran: ‘And those who hoard up gold and silver and do not spend in the way of Allah, announce to them a painful chastisement. (9:34). He also says: ‘Allah has permitted trade and forbidden interest.’ (2:275). Owners of capital therefore have to invest it either in the form of private business or partnership.

    The most fundamental criteria that must be met by all companies of partnership are that there must be offer and acceptance between two or more parties, and that once they become partners they have equal say in the running of the company. In addition to these criteria, the manner of sharing profit and loss is dependent on the type of company. In the Company of Equals (Anan) where partnership is formed by the wealth of two or more parties, any loss suffered by the company would be shared among the partners in proportion to the capital they put. In the Company of Persons (Abdan) where partnership is based on services provided by the partners, loss is shared according to the salaries/wages of the partners. In the company of Mudharaba where partnership is based on capital from one party and labour from another, loss is incurred by the owner of capital while the provider of labour loses their wage/salary. From these elementary rules and structures, many other forms of companies can be formed. In all cases, profit is shared according to mutual agreement independent of the amount of capital or service/labour provided.

    Through this arrangement, continuous business investment keeps employment level high and both the rich and the poor get richer.

    The role of the state

    The government plays an important role in the economic system of Islam.

    Islam makes it the responsibility of the state to provide food, clothing, shelter, education, health and security to every individual. It is also the responsibility of the state to enable citizens with the means of getting luxurious needs in addition to these basic needs by themselves. The state achieves this through the management of public property, through the use of income from other sources and through provision of good economic environment so that people satisfy their needs due to their involvement in economic activity.

    Sources of revenue for the state

    1) Taxation

    Fai – Property captured from the enemy without fighting

    Ghanima – Booty

    Ushr – Land Tax on unconquered land

    Kharaj – Land Tax on conquered land

    Jizya – Head-tax on non-Muslims

    2) Others

    – Revenues from natural resources

    – Fines levied

    3) Facilitating luxurious needs

    It is also the responsibility of the state to provide adequate infrastructure for the supply of such commodities to the people.

    The most fundamental aims of the economy of any nation is to provide adequate supply of goods and services for its citizens and to enable each citizen to acquire and use them to raise their standard of living. This requires that wealth be created in the form of usable goods and services and that people get the means of owning and/or using these goods or services.

    The degree to which these aims and objectives are met and the efficiency with which the citizens of the state participate depends on the specific rules of engagement, namely the economic system which the nation implements.

    Apart from the general ideological framework upon which the economic system is based, the key ingredients for the economic success of any nation include:

    1) Confidence in and stability of the system

    2) Workability of the system by providing appropriate economic incentives for wealth creation and distribution

    3) A just method of distribution.

    Although only the capitalist economic system is practiced in the world today, the Islamic economic system gives the best rules of engagement in economic activity and would be the most successful towards raising the standard of living of any nation.

    a) On confidence and stability

    Economic activity by its very nature is risky as those who partake in it directly can gain or lose wealth. Hence in all economic systems, there is always an understanding by those who participate that they may lose their capital or effort. However, there other phenomena that adversely affect the economic life of a nation by artificially creating an atmosphere of insecurity, and thereby reduce the level of economic activity. These arise because of the specific economic system implemented and include the followings:

    i) Booms and Busts: In the capitalist system, periods of good and bad trade have become evident from the records. Although opinions differ widely among economists on the conditions responsible for trade fluctuations, a common feature is that root cause of these conditions stems from the foundations of the capitalist economic system.

    ii) Runaway inflation: The fact that money continually loses its value has become an intrinsic part of capitalist economies. Here again there are quite a few opinions from economists as to what causes runaway inflation. But the recipe for runaway inflation lies at the heart of established financial controls in the capitalist system.

    iii) Money market crashes: These occur irregularly in the form of sudden exaggerated changes in foreign exchange rates and sudden fall in share prices.

    The most fundamental characteristics of the capitalist economic system which form the root of these phenomena are speculation and false representation. These are manifested in:

    The artificial creation of money: There is nothing to prevent governments from literally creating money at will. Excessive creation of paper money which cannot be represented by real wealth is the root cause of inflation.

    In addition, high street banks can lend money that is not existent by crediting peoples accounts on paper. This is false representation that is meant to keep the system going actually creates more artificial money.

    In conclusion, the above points clearly outline certain fundamental differences between the capitalist economic system and the Islamic economic system. The inherent failing of capitalist economies can be seen today throughout the world, even in the Muslim countries, where it has been forcibly applied by corrupt rulers. The details of Islamic economics should fill us with confidence that Islam provides solutions to the economic problem, which the world around us currently faces.

    Thanks and Jazakallah khair.

    Bajwa Family in sarogdha are also known to be very rich and very powerful family. Most of the people above made money thrugh #2 but i am sure this family was selfmade.

    Earning lots of money is not prohibited in Islam but the way of earning does matters. I wish to see more and more billionaires from Pakistan but not by snatching others rights and shares ! Imagine, nothing more but, only zakat from rich Pakistan can be so helpful to fight poverty.

    Honorable Sir

    With due respect I am submitting few lines for your kind consideration. I have come to know through reliable sources and internet that you are devoting services for the well being of humanity.

    Incidentally I am submitting that I have a large poor family. Therefore there is no financial support for me. Please help me financially. It will not be a great relief to a poor family but will also be a great act of charity on your honor part. I am waiting for your favorable reply.

    I belong to a very poor family with all of the children under studying. All of my children are getting education some of them are in the college and one of them in the university.

    Kindly help me as it can only change the life of one lady but also the life of one complete nation.

    Yours faithfully

    I failed to see Shaid Luqman in the top 10 richest Pakistani business people? surly this guy who has won nunerous awards, including E&Y Entrenpreneur of the year 2004, is among the elite of those. His assets in the UK alone run well into the hundreds of millions of pounds, then there are hotels in the middle east and property interest in Europe, at the very least he has net assets in excess of £400M, this is without the help of Generals and corruption from government ministers.

    Letter to the Islamic world, the Islamic Charitable Funds and Sponsorship!

    Assalom alaikum leaders and philanthropists, the Islamic world, to you obraschyaetsya citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan Turdieva Aliyam Gupurdzhanovna, a board member of NGO "Leave Houses to People" at the request of members of the movement, we are very happy to have found you, wherever they turned, but still quiet but we hope that kto-to hear us! ", Life of our members into a series of severe trials, which for many of us end with deprivation of shelter for the other hit in a psychiatric hospital, or suicide.

    We have 2 years of fighting with greedy banks patronizing Satan! I have seen members of the Onge, why in the Quran punished not take usurious debt that there is a temptation of the devil, for which we have to pay dearly. We are now able to lose the roof over your head ..

    We are fighting against anti-human contract signed with the banks and see no way out. That's a lot of years we Uighurs and all 130-Th nationalities live in Kazakhstan as a homeland, in peace and harmony. Kazakhs are very friendly, hospitable people with a broad mind, but now many of them as my family were in a very difficult situation, when the banks can just throw us out into the street with their children, we have become insolvent because of the crisis.

    I am an entrepreneur engaged in small business selling shoes that had to sell under pressure from the bank they gave a period of 5 Number of days if no money is taken away prenesu house that is not built to this day it was in November 2007. Sold in 2006, 3-square-py in the newly bought apartment over a large area house was supposed to surrender as early as 2007 in December, but when he surrendered one ALLAH! knows, this time I rented a square-ru mad at prices and now I'm thrown off his son without a job, without money and without homes.

    My brother and sister also came to the credits, in the family an impossible situation, morally we are dying of raids banks.

    We have in the organization of many such examples as we have in the family, yet even worse than starving people, people on the brink of suicide, from the fact that all that is given to banks, and money is not everything, of course I'll fight with these people to the end, now even at the cost of living than volyatsya a garbage better to die with dignity

    Of course, we also blame that "crawled" into this bondage, but we are not stolen and not fled abroad. Just crisis has put everything in place and the "bubble" burst. We realized that the loans invented by Satan and Shaitan sluzhischimi on earth in the guise of lyudey.My were very tempted by the devil, and in this kaemsya.Ya now until the end of his life will dissuade people to take under such prtsenty money in banks, if let Allah, will survive in this Hell. I even think that God! I came to help because, what I've found you, and you will now write my sister and brothers.

    I am currently so easily that the hunt to write and write without stopping not want this moment came to an end, over these two islands, there was calm at heart, just a thought in my head to find the money to pay the money, the crisis krizis.krizis! !

    I believe that God will not abandon my family, and members of our organization, I believe that this test "the Almighty" because he often felt me and diseases and losses.

    By signing the treaty inhumane to 18% … 25% … and etc, we made a deal with the devil "I'll give you the money you give me your life!" Yes, the money was not brought us no happiness or profit.

    Maybe I'm naive woman, but I think that if all states and people would forgive each other's debts, or would come to some compromise to help us come to ALLAH! We could have won "APOKALIPSSIS" aktiviziruschiysya on the ground with the help of loans, because loans neutralize our souls and prevraschyayut us into a zombie. I so want to find a way, we are for the 2-year wa wherever they obraschyalis already losing a human face can be rest will not rasskazyvat.No through the organization could write off 50% of property value because apartments have fallen, we even offer but We do not have money, we're surviving barely feed their families already.

    We and our member organizations believe that if you to help us come "Allah," will get rid of credit, how can we thank the Messenger of 'Allah' for our salvation, for salvation of our families, and we gave the word: "Almighty God" if it will save us from these torments and send us a man who will pity us and vytashit from the clutches of the banks, we will take every family in caring for orphans, in fact, an orphan is "God's Child", we have a woman whose four children and they say: – Shall I not be able to cook over a bowl of soup, this child, we assume Messenger of 'Allah' – which has saved our family, now of course it will be his family, and it is "God's child" whom I have entrusted himself "God." If "Allah" to be humane towards us and frees us from everlasting bondage, we must do good for his kindness and generosity, and it is fed and outgrowths on its feet "child of God, and this requires our soul Konechno .. even from 300 families if they take 100 children, it's a hundred happy children who will gain your family sick., lonely people, we will not suspend such a burden, but they will be on your to do good, yes, Lord "they are so exhausted and , even though a living will. We have many women who would like to themselves to give birth, but because of the debt owed to the bank, they feel that this dream will not come true, because, they themselves may not be tomorrow on the street., together with the family . we gave to God a "vow"-if the benefactor save, our people, it will save our family, and an orphan who is mother to us, wish child, please bear with us, we, through our suffering, we look for another in this world.

    I uspokayuvayu members of our organization, I say that we will find out, and calculate with banks swallowed, they have a moment it is hoped they begin to thank ALLAH! , Then immediately they come in their usual position in which they are almost two years, I suspect that we have many mental disorders from this crisis. Dear brothers and sisters Moslems we have in the organization 95% of Muslims but who are we are addressed not to you! , We have I know personally in Almaty Onge such families of about 300-something people who have really serious situation. And in all cities of Kazakhstan, the same number of affected members of our organization, of course I know that all is not vytashim. Let me forgive "Allah," 'it will not be on my conscience I am a simple citizen of Kazakhstan. although I wholeheartedly dream to help poor people who are in a very difficult situation, we in Kazakhstan have a community like ours, where obyadinilis here such as we have fallen into the hands of the global , Shaitansky crisis.

    I think brothers and sisters I have not accidentally left on you, I know that with "God of Our God!" I've found you.

    We hope for your understanding and help!, Thank you in advance! That you have heard me., Health to you and your children!

    We were really severe floods, as once in life, the last heavy snow was in late March, a lot of destroyed houses

    all the cattle killed hundreds of thousands of heads, the worst thing that people died. . Now our government is busy affected by floods

    people who build them anew, homes, schools, hospitals, roads, pay compensation, we think

    State will not be able to help us, especially private banks are not subject to

    state, we are well spoken in person bankers simply do not give us zamucheli

    plaguing. And we have that go into the street and become homeless with their families., Then we regret?

    "And if someone saved your life, it's as if he saved the life of a whole people of al-Qur'an 5:32", but there are so many human lives is what happened to us this is equivalent to earthquakes, floods and tsunamis are not visible from outside, but inside our souls ripped to shreds, recently December 29, directly in the office who founded the movement Niyazov died of a heart attack Saniyam after posesheniya Bank, we have a lot of cases, people suffering and dying children do not know what to do, they are debts and even tomorrow they may be on the street please do not stay indifferent to our letter, because-I only know in your world primarily valued by the human soul.

    Please Sorry for poor quality translation, translating Coogl internet, I think we will love understand each druga.Spasibo! If you want to know something about me and my organization please dial the Internet via Coogl Video@Mail.ru: Turdieva Aliyam or Foto@Mail.ru: Turdieva Aliyam and you will see us

    Fraudsters and scammers, please do not disturb us. EVEN if you help one family,

      OK. This is a great opportunity for Pakistan. Getting rid of one person will get rid of all corruption in Pakistan. We are living in a fool's world. Corruption in Pakistan is there because of Pakistanis like you and me who consider everyone else corrupt and themselves pious, law abiding, tax paying citizens until we have to stand the test oursevles. The problem with us is that we are not even honest with ourselves. The fact that we call someone else corrupt without evidence proves that we are corrupt to the core.
