LAFZ magazine is in the great tradition of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the Quaid-e-Azam, in promoting a tolerant, just, and democratic Pakistan, but, above all, in its commitment to education and knowl-edge. Education should be at the heart of every great people and nation for providing a solid foundation for its future, and knowledge is at the heart of Islam. Ilm, meaning knowledge, is the second most used word in the Quran, and the Holy Prophet teaches us that: “The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr.” LAFZ, or words, thus provides a great service to Pakistanis – both in Pakistan and abroad – and reminds them, in today’s turbulent world, of their proud history and cultural heritage.
