Ahmad was also head of the Muttahidah Majlis-e-'Amal (English: Council of United Action), a coalition between religious-political parties.

Qazi Hussain Ahmed is married with two sons and two daughters. His wife and children all are Jamaat-e- Islami activists. He is lodging up in a two bed room flat which speaks volumes of the facts that how simple a life he leads like any party worker. He has full command over Urdu,English , Arabic and Persian a part from his native tongue Pushto. He is great admirer of the poet of Islam. Allama Muhammad Iqbal and quotes if from his both Urdu and Persian poetry, at will, in his speeches and conversations.

Maulana Tariq Jameel (Urdu: مولانا طارق جمیل) (born 1953) is an Islamic scholar from Pakistan. His native town is Tulambah near Mian Channu. His father was an agriculturist who belonged to the Muslim Rajputs community.^{[citation needed]}

Tariq Jameel was born and raised in Mian Channu. In his childhood he lived a relatively modest life but religion was not a major part of his life and his family in particular. It wasn't until he pursued his M.B.B.S. in Lahore that his focus shifted towards Islam. After completing his Higher Secondary School education (a.k.a. F.Sc in some regions of Pakistan) in pre-medical (equivalent to A 'levels') from Government College, Lahore, he took admission in King Edward Medical College in Lahore. He intended to do his M.B.B.S., but he soon switched to Islamic education. He then went on to receive Islamic education from Jamia Arabia, Raiwind (near Lahore), Pakistan where he studied Quran, Hadith, Sharia, Tasawwuf, logic and Fiqh.^{[citation needed]}

His proclivity towards Islam grew during hostel life in Lahore and can mainly be attributed to the group members of Tablighi Jamaat who he became friends with during his college life.^{[citation needed]}

Sohail Ahmed (Urdu: سہیل احمد) (born Sohail Akram Butt), best known as Azizi (Urdu: عزیزی), is a Pakistani comedian, and stage and TV actor. He is most notable for comedy stage dramas based in Lahore.

He was born in Gujranwala, went to school at Millat High Gujranwala and graduated from Government College Gujranwala. His father Mian Muhammad Akram Butt was a senior Police Officer (Deputy Superintendent of Police).^{[citation needed]} He is the second youngest of four brothers. Javid Akram is a journalist, while Mian Aurang Zaib Akram and Muhammad Junaid Akram are educators.^{[citation needed]}

He improvises dialogue during stage plays. He is an outspoken opponent of vulgarity and obscenity in stage dramas. He is also the writer and director of many stage plays. Recently Ahmed produced and directed his second drama serial, Shaam, which was written by Iqbal Hasan Khan, a Pakistani playwright and short story writer. This play went on air in January 2010.^{[citation needed]}

"Azizi" is a character name chosen by Aftab Iqbal while he was writing a column, Hasb-e-Haal in the daily, "Nawa-e-waqat". Thus, credit for the program's name "Hasb-e-Haal" and the character "Azizi" belongs to Iqbal.^{[citation needed]} Over time, the character has come to symbolize the voice of sanity over the apparent apathy in society.^{[citation needed]} He mocks the flagrant disregard for law, lack of policy architecture by the government and equally blatant lack of incentive from civil society to change their situation.^{[citation needed]}

Hakimullah (Hakim Ullah, Hakeemullah) Mehsud (Pashto/Urdu: حکیم‌الله محسود), born c. 1979 as Jamshed Mehsud (Pashto/Urdu: جمشید محسود) and also known as Zulfiqar Mehsud (Pashto/Urdu: ذو الفقار محسود‎), is the Emir of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). He was deputy to commander Baitullah Mehsud and one of the leaders of the militant group Fedayeen al-Islam prior to the elder Mehsud's death in a CIA drone missile strike. He had been the TTP's commander in the Khyber, Kurram and Orakzai agencies of Pakistan. He is described as being in his late 20s^{[dated info]} and a cousin of Qari Hussain. He is known to be a young and aggressive field commander, who previously served as a driver and was very close to Baitullah Mehsud. Hakimullah Mehsud maintains ties to al-Qaeda, the Afghan Taliban and various Pakistani jihadist groups, such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, and Jaish-e-Mohammed. Reports initially indicated he was fatally wounded on January 14, 2010 by a U.S. drone attack although two videos released by the TTP in 2010 and 2011 proved that he survived the attack. Mehsud was reported by Pakistani intelligence to have been killed by US drone strike on 12 January 2012. However, the Pakistani Taliban denied the claim.

Nasir Ahmed (born August 11, 1940 in Bangalore, India) is a Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer and Engineering at University of New Mexico (UNM). He retired from UNM in 2001 after serving as the Associate Provost for Research and the Dean of Graduate Studies.

He is the leading author of the benchmark publication, “Discrete Cosine Transform”, IEEE Transactions on Computers, 90-93, Jan. 1974 (with T. Natarajan and K. R. Rao) , which has received over 2000 citations (via Harzing.com) since its publication; also available as Reference 1 in Discrete Cosine Transform. The basic research work that led to the development of the DCT is summarized in the publication, N. Ahmed, "How I came up with the Discrete Cosine Transform," Digital Signal Processing, Vol. 1, Iss. 1, p. 4-5,1991.

The DCT is widely used for digital image, video, and audio compression applications, and is a significant part of various international standards, which include: JPEG, MPEG, H.261, and H.263 .

The DCT is sometimes referred to as "DCT-II" in the context of a family of discrete cosine transforms ; also see Discrete cosine transform.
