| 释义 |
Abdur Rehman Peshawari was a Muslim from British India (modern day Pakistan) who, motivated by Pan-Islamist sentiment, left his education at the prestigious Aligarh Muslim University and went to the Ottoman Empire, initially as team member of the People's Mission to the Ottoman Empire in 1912-13. Following the end of the Balkan War he chose to stay in the Ottoman Empire. He participated in the First World War and the Turkish War of Independence. He served as Turkey's ambassador to Afghanistan during Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's presidency[1]. Early lifeAbdur Rehman was born in Peshawar, Pakistan in the 1880s/90s. He belonged to a prominent family from Peshawar and was the son of Ghulam Samdani. Ansari's missionWhile he was studying at Aligarh University, a mission was put together by Dr. Mukhtar Ahmed Ansari to go to Turkey in support of the ailing Ottoman Caliphate. As military support of the Caliphate was not allowed by the British government, a medical team comprising 24 doctors and male nurses was assembled. Abdur Rehman left his studies and volunteered for this mission as a stretcher bearer / nurse. As he was uncertain of his father's approval, he sold all his belongings to raise funds for his journey. Stay in TurkeyAfter the end of the war, Rehman was the only team member to stay on in Turkey where he played an active role in the upcoming events. He decided to enlist in the Army and began his training in Istanbul. Later he was sent to Beirut, until the First World War started. He began his active service as a lieutenant in the regular army and he saw his first action in the Dardanelles. He served with honor in a number of campaigns throughout the war. After the defeat of Germany and Turkey at the end of World War I, the Allied Powers occupied Istanbul. Mustafa Kemal Pasha established a provisional government in Angora (Ankara) to oppose the Allies and the Caliphate. Abdur Rehman joined these forces in their struggle for the restoration of Turkish sovereignty. AmbassadorshipIn 1921, he was sent by Atatürk as Turkey's ambassador to Afghanistan.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} DeathHis career in the future of the newly created Turkish nation ended prematurely when he was shot and killed in Istanbul. His death is supposed to have been a case of mistaken identity. Rauf Bay, a prominent Turkish politician (later the prime minister of Turkey), was rumored to have been the actual target. Unfortunately for Abdur Rehman, he bore a close resemblance to Rauf Bay which led to his death. He is buried in the Macka graveyard in Istanbul. It is near the Macka Democracy park and opposite to the ITU (Suleyman Seba Cd). In 2014 the path leading to his grave was paved.
