– Raheem Khan
Tonk, Rajasthan – Hafiz Saffan Delhiwala, from Taj Manzil, Raj Talkies Road in Tonk, has made his city proud. He scored an outstanding 97 percentile in NEET 2025. Son of Asma Khan and Sarfaraz Delhiwala, Saffan will be the first doctor in both his maternal and paternal families. His success reflects his hard work and the power of combining religious and modern education.
Saffan’s journey is inspiring. His parents deeply valued Islamic education. In class 7, they pulled him out of school. He then joined a madrassa to memorize the Quran. For three years, he focused on Hifz. During this time, his mother continued his school studies at home. This helped him stay in touch with academics.
After three years, Saffan completed his Hifz. He rejoined school a year behind his classmates. But he didn’t give up.
Saffan says Hifz improved his mind. “I lost one year, but memorizing the Quran sharpened my brain,” he said. It helped him with memory and understanding. These skills helped him crack NEET. He believes the focus and discipline from Hifz were key to his success.
Asma Khan said their decision was bold and risky. But her husband, Sarfaraz, fully supported it. “We wanted Saffan to get both Islamic and modern education,” she said. “It was tough, but Sarfaraz’s support and Saffan’s effort made it happen.”
Sarfaraz praised his son’s teachers. He said their role was vital — from school to madrassa to coaching. “We are grateful to all his teachers,” he said.
Saffan’s grandparents, Saifuddin Delhiwala and Razia Saif, were filled with pride. “He is the first doctor in the family,” they said. “We hope he will serve the poor and be ready to help those in need.”
Tonk is celebrating Saffan’s success. He belongs to the well-known Taj family. He is the grandson of famed photographer Ahsan Rashid Khan and social worker Najma Ahsan. He is also the nephew of social worker Mohsin Rashid Tonk. His result has made the entire community proud.
Hafiz Saffan’s story is a model for youth. He shows that one can balance deen and duniya. His effort, family support, and good teachers helped him succeed. Scoring 97 percentile in NEET 2025, he achieved his dream. His city and family are proud of him. People in Tonk believe he will become a devoted doctor and continue to inspire others.
