Hamdard Foundation, Lahore
Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed established Hamdard Dawakhana at Delhi, India in 1906.
The Dawakhana soon gained a high reputation throughout the city as the finest supplier of herbs and in 1920 acquired the status of one of the finest pharmacies.
The premature death of Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed in 1922 was a big shock to the family because the two sons left by him were too young to handle the affairs of Hamdard. However, Mrs. Rabia, the widow of Late Abdul Majeed took command until Hakeem Abdul Hameed, the elder brother of Hakim Mohammed Said, assumed leadership.
In 1940, Hakim Mohammed Said, now of age, joined Hamdard and by 1947, Hamdard became a prominent manufacturer of herbal products and medicines in the subcontinent.
After the creation of Pakistan in 1947, Hakim Mohammed Said at the age of 29 migrated to Pakistan, and in the year of 1948 he established Hamdard Pakistan in Karachi on a modest scale.
Hakim Mohammed Said was a man of determination and rare qualities. By sheer dint of his labor, dynamism, and native genius he was able to make Hamdard the leading manufacturer of herbal medicines and products in Pakistan in just a span of six years.
In 1953, when Hamdard became a big pharmaceutical company, Hakim Mohammed Said declared it a "Waqf" (Trust). The "Waqf" has a religious basis and is irrevocable. A Waqf is considered to be under the ownership of God. It is an article of faith with Muslims that everything in this world belongs to God and man is only permitted a justifiable use of it.
