History

The date that the Daultala locality was established is unknown, there are a number of historical buildings like the Gurdwara dating back to the early 20th century, and the Government High School for boys dating back to 1926. Other historical evidence is the Gravestones near the High school. That dates back to the year 1700 - or the era before British Raj was established across the sub-continent.

The presence of the Gurdwara shows that a large number of Sikh resided in Daultala and the surrounding areas. These Sikhs were landlords, businessmen and religious scholars. Few good names among teachers are still remembered by the peoples of that age with honour.

No evidence is there about the presence of Hindus in the village, while Muslim were present here in a large number.

After Partition

After the Partition of India, a large number of Sikhs migrated from Daultala to India, while a large number of Muslims migrated here from India. Initially they established themselves in low level workers but now these peoples are well established and respectable Pakistanis.

Golden Era

Daultala experienced rapid growth after discovery of Oil near Ahdi Village in 1978. The workers of Ahdi oil fields got rental residence in Daultala only. Another reason for growth of Daultala is its central location and wealth generating locality for Business community. Later private schools also caused mobility of a large community towards this locality.

Establishment of Society

The foundation of society was laid down on December 2005. First session was called by the patron of chief of Society on 01 Dec 2005 in the Central Office of the Society at Chaudary Munawar Market Daultala. Elongate discussion was made to decide the name of organization. At the end it was decided that the name of organization should be Al-Madina Welfare Society because the first great example was set of welfare in Islamic History on Madina on the occasion of migration. The Muslim of Makkah left their business, homes, families and relatives while migrating to Madina. They reach Madina in miserable circumstance. But the Muslims of Madina shared their 50% assets with the Muslims of Makkah who left all their possessions in Makkah.

Why Society Came into Being?

The causes for emerging the society were disasters of Earthquake of 08 Oct 2005 in Pakistan which is known by the whole world. Catastrophe unforgetful panoramas were great shock for those who have a diminutive sympathy for human beings. It’s no doubt that it was provided support to the victim of Earthquake on great level by the several countries and specially the people of Pakistan. Although the managements try their best to relief the sufferer but society wants that everyone should have moral strength to help each other without any rebate or fame which is society is trying to create the people.

Tribes & Clans

The main tribes of Daultala are the Syeds, Punjabi Shaikh, Gujjars, Rajputs (including Chohan Rajput, Bhakral, Baghial, Jatal, Manhas, Bhatti, Janjua Rajput, etc.) Mughal, Awan, and the Kumhars.

Nishan-e-Haider

  1. Jawan Sawar Muhammad Hussain (1949–December 10, 1971)

Jawan Sawar Muhammad Hussain Shaheed (Born: 1949, Dhok Pir Bakhsh 7 km From Jatli Village Near Daultala (now Dhok Muhammad Hussain Janjua), Enlisted: 1966, Driver, December 10, 1971). At the time of 1971 war (between India and Pakistan) he was attached with an old army unit known as “20 Lancers”. While his unit was engaged in the frontline area of Zafarwal-Shakargarh, he himself never missed an opportunity of taking over a machine-gun and firing on the enemy, unmindful of any danger. It was on December 5, 1971 that while braving intense shelling and direct fire from enemy tanks and infantry, he went from trench to trench delivering ammunition to the frontline soldiers. It was documented by his company men that on the following day, he went out with four fighting patrols and undertook most hazardous missions. However, it was on December 10, 1971 that he spotted the enemy digging in near village Harar Khurd along the minefield laid out by Pakistan Army. He thus immediately informed the second- in-command of his unit. But simultaneously he moved, on his own initiative, from one anti-tank gun to another directing the crew to fire accurately at enemy tanks, and was thus responsible for the destruction of sixteen enemy tanks.

On the same day, at 04:00 pm, while directing fire from one of the recoilless rifles, he was hit on the chest by a burst of machine-gun fire from an enemy tank and thus died in action.

Sawar Muhammad Hussain had the distinction of being the first Jawan (a rank of foot soldier in Pakistan Army) to be awarded Nishan-e-Haider for his gallantry.
