The educational relationship between Chitral and Peshawar is more than a century and a half old, deep-rooted, and intellectually rich. This bond is not limited to history, culture, and society; rather, it has played a decisive role in shaping the educational development of Chitral. Peshawar, as the administrative, cultural, and educational hub of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has long served as a \u201cgateway of knowledge\u201d for the students, scholars, and teachers of Chitral. Through this enduring connection, knowledge spread, cultural harmony flourished, and the foundations of shared progress between the two regions were laid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the earliest documented examples of this relationship dates back to 1878, when Mirza Muhammad Ghufran (commonly known as Mirza Ghufran) wrote that he was completing his book while seated in the historic Mahabat Khan Mosque in Peshawar. He noted that at the time, Amir Sher Ali Khan of Kabul, ruler of the Islamic world in the region, was on the throne, and that Mirza Ghufran met him in the same mosque. Having completed his education, Mirza Ghufran was engaged in teaching at Mahabat Khan Mosque. Prior to this, he had graduated from the Pukh Jamaat institution in Tehkal, Peshawar, where he was a classmate of Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum Khan, a name that would later become central to the educational history of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Mirza Ghufran\u2019s return to Chitral, and upon the recommendations of Mehtar Aman-ul-Mulk and Prince Afzal-ul-Mulk, the British colonial administration sent two of his students, Noor-ur-Rehman and Aideen Shah, to Peshawar in December 1887. According to confidential documents of the Foreign Department, both students were around sixteen years of age and were sent alongside Mehtar Jao Bahadur Khan and Nazur Shah. They aimed to study English and medicine, though they chose to focus instead on Persian and Urdu. They were admitted to the Municipal School of Peshawar. Later, in 1890, Muiz Ullah also came to Peshawar and enrolled in Mission High School, as documented in a petition he submitted to the Viceroy of India in 1896.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this period, Chitral was home to many scholars and intellectuals whose formal educational backgrounds are not clearly documented in historical sources. These included figures such as Syed Shah Abbas, Mehtar Nizam-ul-Mulk, Mehtar Afzal-ul-Mulk, Prince Shahi-ul-Mulk, Afzal Beg, Mirza Ibadat Khan, Muazzam Khan, and the Qazis of Chitral. Nevertheless, the written works they left behind still exist today and bear strong testimony to their intellectual depth and scholarly capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing his studies, Aideen Shah returned to Chitral and began teaching. Three of his students, Ghulam Mustafa (son of Mirza Ghufran), Khanzada (son of Khudai Dir), and Muhammad Yaqoob (son of Inayat Khan), were admitted to Aligarh Muslim College between 1906 and 1910. In later years, Prince Ghazi-ud-Din of Nagar, Chitral, became one of the last students from the region to graduate from Aligarh Muslim University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1909, when Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum Khan visited Aligarh Muslim College, he met students from the then North-West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and listened to their concerns. Among them were students from Chitral, who demanded a separate hostel for Frontier students. Taking these demands seriously, Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum Khan laid the foundation of Islamia College Peshawar in 1913. This institution soon became a major center of learning for students from Chitral and other northern regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A landmark moment occurred on 1 October 1916, when, for the first time, eleven students from Chitral traveled to Peshawar under the supervision of Prince Nasir-ul-Mulk to seek admission to Islamia Collegiate School. These students included Muhammad Muzaffar-ul-Mulk, Muhammad Hissam-ul-Mulk, Khudai-ul-Mulk, Abdul Samad Khan (son of Isfandiyar Khan), Habib-ul-Ahmad (son of Sherbarar Noor Ahmad), Sultan Hussain (son of Gul Hassan Shah), Afzal (son of Wafadar Khan Diwan Begi), Bahadur Khan (son of Mir Hamza of Oyun), Abdul Rehman (son of Qurban Hakim), and Ghulam Jafar (son of Muhammad Ghufran). By 1926, several of these students had passed their matriculation examinations from Islamia Collegiate School, while others completed education up to the middle levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In subsequent years, figures such as Muhammad Wazir Khan and Janab Shah also pursued education in Peshawar. When Prince Nasir-ul-Mulk later became the ruler of Chitral, schools were established in the state in line with developments in the rest of the subcontinent. Janab Shah was invited from Islamia College Peshawar to Chitral and appointed as the principal of the newly established school. He also served as the State Minister of Education. This marked the formal beginning of a structured schooling system in Chitral, from where hundreds of students each year began traveling to other parts of the region for higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, this historic educational affiliation remains alive and vibrant. A significant number of students from Chitral continue to study in Peshawar\u2019s schools, colleges, and universities. This 150-year educational journey is not only a source of enlightenment and intellectual growth but also a living symbol of the deep and enduring relationship between the two regions. It has strengthened cultural harmony, mutual respect, and shared development, and it will continue to play a vital role in shaping future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Holy Qur\u2019an states:
\u201cAre those who know equal to those who do not know?\u201d<\/em>
(Surah Az-Zumar, Verse 9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
