Oh, you will be missed, for a long time to come!

         In the last winter, we (my wife Naheed and I) were in Pakistan when we started getting news, one after the other, by phone and email, of sad demise of some leading personalities of the Movement. Honorable M. Nasim, honorable Shujat Ali Burney, honorable Tausiq Ansari, and honorable Fauzia Naheed – all of them, in order to meet their Lord, laced with full provision of Akhirah, responded, one after the one, to call of the Angel of Death. All of them were polar stars of the Movement, who had departed for their final abode, with their satisfied souls, after showing the direction of Destination to lost people:

(Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah: Of then some have died, and some (still) wait) (Al-Ahzab 33: 23)
