Reference excerpt

Khurram Murad (3 November 1932 – 19 December 1996) was a Pakistani scholar of Islam.

Early life and education Murad was born on 3 November 1932, in Bhopal, a Muslim princely state in Central India. His lineage came from Muzzafar Nagar and Saharanpur. He enrolled in the Bhopal-based Hameediyah College in 1947 after completing his matriculation. His family migrated to Pakistan in 1948. After settling in Karachi, Khurram enrolled in the D.J. Science College. After finishing his intermediate education, he attended the University of Karachi's Bachelor of Civil Engineering program, which he graduated from in 1952. In 1958, he earned his master's degree from the University of Minnesota in the US. After receiving his degree, he also taught at the university for a brief period before leaving for Pakistan.

Academic and professional career He worked as a lecturer in NED Engineering College from 1955 to 1957. As a notable engineer of the country, he rendered his services in East Pakistan (later Bangladesh) as chief engineer and resident director of the then famous consultancy firm; Associate and Consulting Engineers (ACE). He remained in India as a prisoner of war for two and a half years after the fall of East Pakistan in 1971. During his employment, he in addition to Pakistan provided his services to the major construction projects in Iran and Saudi Arabia. In this regard, he took part in the expansion project of Makkah.

Political career and religious activism After moving from Saudi Arabia to the United Kingdom, he served as the Director-General of The Islamic Foundation, a well-known scientific and research institution from 1977 to 1987. Murad served as Naib Amir (Vice-President) of the Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan and Amir (President) in Dhaka city of then East Pakistan, a Trustee and a former Director General of the Islamic Foundation in Leicester, UK, and editor of Tarjumanal Qur'an, Lahore, Pakistan (a journal founded by the Islamic scholar, Abul Ala Maududi in 1932), and the quarterly Muslim World Book Review, UK.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Khurram Murad

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Khurram Murad claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Khurram Murad before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Khurram Murad ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Khurram Murad

In research: Khurram Murad appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Khurram Murad in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Khurram Murad is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1932 births, 1996 deaths, 20th-century Pakistani translators, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Khurram Murad outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
