    Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rajiwoon.
    He was a trendsetter. He was very very softspoken, humble and simple. It is shocking and difficult to believe that he is no more. His greatest worry was the dearth of talented experts in the Islamic movement. It was his dream to bring out scores of experts in all fields.

    May Allah grant him Jannatul Firdaus.
