Early life

Masood Dakik is a member of the Dakik cadet branch of the Afghan Royal Family. He traces his lineage back to Muhammad and Ali ibn Abi Talib through leading saints including Sayyid Mir Hasan, Hazrat Ishaan, Bahauddin Naqshband, Abdul Qadir Gilani and Hasan al Askari.[1][2][3][4][5]

During the Saur Revolution 1978 executions of Afghan royals were carried out, including all ministers, generals and diplomats of the former government. President Hafizullah Amin however saved the life of his former professor Abdul Khaliq Khan, who acted as a freshly appointed minister under his cousin Prince Daoud Khan. This amnesty gave Prince Abdul Khaliq's son the young Prince Masood Dakik the chance to absolve his high school education in year 1984 at the francophonic elite school Lycée Istiqlal.[6][5]

Escape from Afghanistan

Once Sultan Masood Dakik was admitted to Kabul Medical School, his father Prince Abdul Khaliq had been imprisoned by President Babark Karmal, who feared an uprising of Prince Abdul Khaliq, which was the reason why Masood Dakik had to flee alongside his mother 7 days by foot to Pakistan. From there they were evacuated to Western Germany.[6] It was on the occasion of this experience that Masood Dakik would later in Germany support refugees in a high intensity.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

New life in Germany

In Western Germany Dakik started his life by taking care of his mother as well as other family members in need and maintaining his family's royal heritage, working as a young management professional and senior executive in various industries.[14][15][6] He logistically supported the Afghan people in the struggle against the Soviet Union and was deeply involved in humanitarian aid projects in his country Afghanistan as well as various African countries including Tanzania, Nigeria and Uganda. He eventually adopted 49 children and took care of them by providing long term assistance to them in the form of establishing habitat, granting education and initiating career empowerment.[6] He also strongly committed himself to the alphabetization and education for Afghan women.[6][7][16]
