Coping with financial issues, Muhammad Kashif Ghulam Rabbani aced the tough CA exam in his first attempt, becoming an inspiration for many youths in Dhule and beyond
DHULE – A young man from a humble background has brought pride to his city and community by becoming the first Muslim Chartered Accountant (CA) in the Maharashtra city of Dhule. Muhammad Kashif Ghulam Rabbani, son of a tailor, has successfully passed the final CA examination, considered one of the toughest professional exams in the country.
Kashif’s journey to success was not easy. Coming from a financially struggling family, his father, Ghulam Rabbani, worked tirelessly as a tailor to ensure that his son’s education continued uninterrupted.
“Despite the tough circumstances, Kashif’s father did not let poverty stop his son from chasing his dreams,” said Advocate Sheikh Zubair. “He supported Kashif in every way, and today the result is in front of us.”
Kashif began his education at Muhammadiya Boys Urdu School in Dhule. He completed his 12th Science at SSVPS College and then studied BCom for a year at Jay Hind College. But later, he left traditional studies and shifted his focus entirely to preparing for the CA exam.
Under the guidance of CA Ijaz Sir at Anam & Associates in Pune, Kashif started his onward journey. He did his internship at the ‘Association of Indian Chartered Accountant Firm’ and later studied for the final exam at the Asim Khan Study Centre in Dhule.
Speaking to the media, Kashif shared, “Most children choose fields like engineering, teaching, or law. But when I looked around in our society, I saw a lack of chartered accountants. I decided to step into this field to fill that gap.”
He added, “I worked hard and stayed focused. I had only one goal—to become a CA. I’m happy I passed in my first attempt.”
Kashif’s achievement is not only a personal victory but also a proud moment for the entire city. His success has been widely celebrated by community leaders and educators, who see it as a message of hope for many underprivileged students.
“This is not just a personal success story,” said Advocate Zubair. “It is a message to all youth—especially those who give up studies due to financial problems—that with strong willpower, nothing is impossible.”
Muhammad Kashif’s success has brought honour to his family, school, and city. He now stands as a role model for others who want to achieve big dreams.
With this achievement, Kashif has proved that passion, hard work, and determination can break all barriers.
