Social media gets a lot of blame for what it does to young people, but every so often, it also produces the opposite: a genuine, positive example. In Tehsil Kahuta, three young people, two sons and a daughter, have built real, respected followings by using their platforms constructively, and in doing so, have set an example worth highlighting.
Hamza Jamali: A Voice for the Voiceless
Hamza Jamali has built a reputation around welfare and humanitarian work, now organized formally through the Hamza Welfare Trust, which has reportedly become a genuine source of support for thousands of people in need. Collecting donations transparently and then delivering them faithfully to the people who actually need them is a serious responsibility, and by all accounts, Hamza has carried it with real integrity, becoming a trusted voice for people who otherwise have no one advocating for them.
Iqra Qayyum Janjua: An Ambassador for Hijab and Culture
Iqra Qayyum Janjua has used her platform to promote the dignity and significance of the hijab, an effort she's carried further by launching her own hijab store. Alongside this, she and her brother Danish Qayyum have explored the valleys of the Potohar region, Kohsar, and Pakistan's northern areas by motorbike, presenting the region's culture, local language, and her own modestly dressed identity with a visible sense of pride and confidence that's earned genuine admiration.
Sardar Hamza: Positive Content with a Message
Sardar Hamza has carved out a distinctive space online through creative content that makes people smile while carrying a deeper, constructive message about social values underneath the humor. His approach tends to reflect a clear, positive outlook, and one of his lines in particular has resonated widely with audiences, a Pothohari saying that roughly translates to "free to roam, yet still within bounds," reflecting a message about self-discipline even amid freedom.
What Ties Them Together
These three young people represent something worth genuinely holding up as an example for their generation: proof that social media itself isn't the problem, what matters is the purpose it's put to. What stands out most about all three is how they've handled criticism. Despite facing occasional negativity or misunderstanding from some corners of social media, none of them have responded with hostility or negativity in return. Instead, each has consistently met criticism with patience and restraint, letting their own conduct and character speak for itself.
A Note on This Article
This piece is based on a tribute shared within the community on social media, highlighting these three individuals and their public work and content. All three maintain public profiles and, in Iqra's case, a public business under her own name, so this article reflects information they've already shared publicly rather than private details. If any of the three, or those who know their work well, would like to add further detail or corrections, we'd welcome that.
A Reminder Worth Sharing
It's easy to point to social media's downsides. Hamza Jamali, Iqra Qayyum Janjua, and Sardar Hamza are a reminder that the same platforms can just as easily be used to build trust, celebrate culture, and spread a genuinely positive message, and that doing so consistently, with patience and without seeking conflict, is its own quiet kind of leadership.
