[Click here to record your thoughts and emotions]

"Without Mr. Nurul Amin's strong disciplinary codes in the Academy, most of us could not be where we are today. Going back 17 years in time, I realised now, that we were actually children in the Academy, no matter how grown up we used to consider ourselves. Staying so far away from home and parents, we needed someone to guide us to the right path. And he was the right man for the job. He was our teacher, our guide and a friend. He will always stay as a hero in my heart."

An excellent teacher and person he was. We owe him a lot."

".....if it were not for him the Marine Academy Chittagong would not have been able to produce a great maritime community in Bangladesh as it is today. Mr. Nurul Amin set an example for all for his principle, dedication and ability as a teacher as well as a management executive. I pray for his eternal journey, may God bless his soul and his family....."

".....I should have called him........Few months ago I was talking to Mohiuddin (Second son) at Singapore, he was busy relocating to middle east. During our “Gal goppo” he gave me Mr. Amin’s mobile number and requested me to call him. Nothing special, just he knows how happy his father will become if some of his old students get in touch with him. I promised and honestly thinking about calling him very soon. Now it’s too late. In my dream I did not even thought this could happen so soon. I missed my chance to make him little bit happy; after all apart from his siblings we are his only wealth that used to make him proud. I strongly believe all the good feelings of his wealth all around the world will not be unnoticed by the all mighty. During our hard junior life many times I also had the chance of enjoying the motherly affection and delicious cooking of Mrs. Amin. It was like heavenly blessing in the life of a junior cadet in the academy. Memories of those few days are so strong that it is impossible for me not to think about it now. Later I saw her in few occasion, same simple and wonderful......"

"........Our great teacher “ Mr Nurul Amin” ......
Missing the days with him where he used to teach us at Marine Academy. I am really shocked of hearing the death of our respected teacher. He had very sharp memory of reminding the name of the cadet of any batch, & father’s name, finding him after long time. But now….. it’s all over. His remembrance will be with us so long we remain alive. He was very close to my father as we belong to the same place. He was the teacher of my eldest brother in our village school in late fifties. He was calm, polite and very sober to class of people. He was very respected person in our area. He was a man of knowledge, and principle.  We are thankful to God that we had such great teacher and most of all he was a man of honor. We pray for him & his wife from the bottom of our heart........."

CONDOLENCE 
May 05, 2006

In memory of  Mr. A K M Nurul Amin  Ex-Chief Education Officer, Marine Academy and Mrs. Amin

We all hereby acknowledge the departure of the excellent soul of our beloved teacher and guardian Mr. A K M Nurul Amin and his soul-mate almost together on 30th and 29th April 2006 respectively. It may be mentioned with honour and pride that Mr. Amin had dedicated his life for the development of the Marine Academy and the Cadets. Since before the establishment and commencement of the Marine Academy on 3rd September 1962, throughout his long 34 years of service there in educating and training the Cadets, he had been found to be sincere, hardworking and disciplined. He was pious, polite and honest in his personal life. Thus he could raise himself into an apex figure and a leverage point of the maritime educational sector of Bangladesh. Therefore, his remarkable contribution to the Marine Academy and so to the economy of Bangladesh is exclusive and exceptional.

He could establish a balanced affection for all his dearest pupils and with time he became an ideal friend, philosopher and guide for all of the Cadets. On the other hand, Mrs. Amin, the blessed and appropriate life-partner of Mr. Amin, was a perfect inner wheel and through forwarding his soft-corners and warmth caring, could become the mother-teacher for all the Cadets. They have had been blessed with four sons and one daughter whom they raised remarkably. All of them and their spouses are established duly in their individual fields.

We express our deep gratitude with pride for the departed souls. With tear in our eyes we acknowledge their successful appearance in this earth, working for the Marine Academy and returning back to almighty Allah. We, hereby, also pray to Allah, subhana-taalah, for resting them in peace and award Jannatul Ferdous in the life hereafter.

On behalf of the Alumni Association,

Engr. Elahi Chowdhury (5th batch) Co-Convener

Khalid Jamil Hashmi (5th)  01 May 2006

"...........Inna lillah e wa inna allayhey raijeyoon........It is indeed a very sad news that Mr. Nurul Amin (and Mrs. Nurul Amin) passed away so suddenly. May Allah bless their souls and grant them Jannat. Mr. Nurul Amin was well liked by all cadets due to his character and fairness towards all of us. Especially during the turbulent times of our 7th batch's final year (1970) It was his tireless efforts which saw a first class hockey team from Juldia, not to mention other sports. I was very pleased to learn about him becoming the CEO later on, although I did not have the chance to re visit my old Academy and meet the staff and cadets there after passing out, but the Academy always did and still very much lives very close to my heart and suffice to say it is indeed a very big loss for all of us to loose Mr. Nurul Amin. Please pass my heartfelt condolences to his family, relatives and friends. With fondest of memories and kind regards..................."

"..........Me and my family are very sorrowful at the passing of our beloved teacher. May Allah forgive them and grant them peace in heaven......."
Salem Sekandar  01 May 2006

".........Yesterday was a black day for all Mariners of Bangladesh. Though death is inevitable, yet this kind of sudden and total bereavement is ever distressing. Mr. Nurul Amin was our mentor in the Marine Academy. He influenced and shaped many of our lives, directly or indirectly. He was always fair to his students and caring like a father. Amidst the harsh environment that prevailed atop the hills of Juldia in those days, his balanced approach to training and education was utterly unique. He had a successful life, bringing up excellent family, seeing all his offspring attain professional maturity, had toured around the world meeting his family and students, doing all the social work that he could do. It was a life enviable. I would hope that someone would make a biography of my beloved teacher one day and I would read it and go back to my golden days in 1981-1983. MAY ALLAH TAKE CARE OF THE DEPARTED SOULS......."
Golam Kibria (18th)

"Please pass this message to Mohiuddin Bhai(19th Batch)......... I am deeply shocked and it is a tragic experience for you and the family. Our last meeting at Singapore is still very fresh in my mind. I know how hard it is to cope through this unusual heart-breaking experience and your new job!!! Time only will help you to heal through this suffering and pain. Our prayers are and will be with you at all times. May Allah rest their souls in peace!!!.............."

".................Dear Iqbal, We are very sorry to hear the extremely sad new about your father and mother. Your father our beloved teacher was an extremely good person with good heart and love for all his students. I will never forget how he helped me to secure scholarship from Comilla foundation when I was junior cadet in Academy. Those memories are still vivid to me. I can't believe time has passed so quickly. With sorry heart we join with you in prayer to Allah. Please pass our condolences to your whole family. Sincerely yours....................."

Khalid Jamil Hashmi (5th)   01 May 2006

".................This indeed is a great tragedy. I had the opportunity to meet him when I visited the Marine Academy circa 84/85 in the view of assessing the possibility of teaching. On the day Mr Nurul Amin was so extremely cordial and was very kind to invite me to his residence where I remember meeting Mrs Amin. Much that we lament for the great loss, it may Allah's way to alleviate his sorrows for the loss of his wife.  Few names, such as Commdr Alavi, Capt Shah, and not the least Mr Nurul Islam, come to one's mind when speaking about the Academy for their dedication and commitment for the institution and building up the respect in the maritime fraternity. I would like to join in conveying our condolences to the surviving members of the family and at the same time pray for the departing souls.  A good person, a dedicated teacher and a pillar who upheld the interests of the Academy for the benefit of generations to come.  It is He Who brings us in this world and it is in His Wishes that we depart......"

07-May-2006    MR. NURUL AMIN
It was a difficult few days for me. First I had to absorb the shock of sad demise of Capt. M. L. Rahman and then within the next few days came the news of the death of Mr Nurul Amin. True, we all have to leave this world but a few leave behind memories not so easy to forget. I still remember the day in 1962 when we (the first batch) joined the Marine Academy to start a new history for Pakistan and later for Bangladesh. When I joined as a Cadet, Mr Nurul Amin joined as a teacher. Together we were the pioneers. Then in 1977 when I was the Commandant of the Academy for a short period Mr Nurul Amin was still there and this time as the Chief Education Officer. In Bangladesh today it is very difficult to find an honest and sincere person. Mr Nurul Amin was one. He was very dedicated to his job. Perhaps it was never his goal to make money or fortune but it was definitely his goal to create a generation of people with good education. I understand even after his retirement he rendered his services on voluntary basis. I am fortunate in life to be one of his students. He raised his children with good education and culture. His children have reasons to feel proud of being the children of such a worthy father. I pray to God so that his children can achieve more success in life to bring greater glories for their late parents. May Allah rest his soul in peace and give us the strength and determination to follow his teaching and ideology.

".............I regret to inform you that ex-CEO of Marine Academy Mr Nurul Amin has passed away. As per telephone call received last night, Mrs Nurul Amin passed away yesterday and during her funeral, Mr Nurul Amin collapsed and expired. It was such a sorrowful incident that both of them departed within 8 hours period. During my brief teaching assignment in 1977 in the Academy, we were very closely associated with Mr Nurul Amin's family and subsequently they used to visit us whenever our ship called Chittagong. We maintained regular contacts and were overwhelmed with their generous hospitality when we met them last in year 2000. We discussed good old Academy days and surprisingly, Mr Nurul Amin remembered every name from 1st batch onwards and was aware of their whereabouts. Last night we uncovered large number of family photographs and went through vivid memory of this wonderful couple with heavy heart. They brought up excellent children. May God rest their souls in peace................"
