Social services are very important element of the society. A social worker always works for the uplift of the society without any religious or political concern. His aim of life is only to serve the mankind through education, health and other deeds of welfare without any personal benefits. A social worker always sacrifices his interest and feelings. He works for the pleasure of poor and needy. As Famous poet Allama Muhammad Iqbal said, “There are countless people who love God, But I follow the person who love the creature of God”.

The Islam is a religion of peace, prosperity, love, brotherhood, kindness, generosity, equality. It advises the followers to serve the mankind. Virtue is the name of good behaviour. God loves those who love his creatures. It is said that, history always keeps alive and remembers one who spent life for the benefits of humanity. In this regard, we have seen many important political, religious, social and literary personalities in the world. These personalities had played a vital role to up-lift the socio-political and economic status of their people.
