ONE THIRTEEN THE GREAT

Complied by

No doubt,
Allah is the greatest.
He blessed man wealth of knowledge and regarded him as the best creature of
the universe. So much so that he has been crowned as superior to angles also. He
has been blessed as the “Khalipha” on earth. No whoever uses this title. One who
uses the blessing of knowledge in the best way becomes honored and respected
among human beings. However, it has been evident that man can not spend life
without other human beings and he works wonders with their help. In this way,
he also cherishes the desire of being praised.
These 56 people of my collection are unique in various fields and occupy a high
knowledge status. So far as the doors of research are open, the position of their
work can not be ignored and the possibility of their utility will exist. All of them
are worthy of respect. We can earn benefit their work in one way or the other.
The possibilities of direct cooperation with them will remain coming forth. And
in this way the paths of easiness and battement can open in this regard.
It is no more difficulty but pain taking job to get data on any topic or about any
subject from inter-net. I have got the biographical data about “Hungred The
Great” from inter-net and have arranged it in an easy order.
It is hoped that this work of mine will be welcomed.
