Today Pakistani nation has lost a valuable assert and we can never forget his matchless & countless services for the whole nation. His space in social service can never be fulfill for decades. He is real social worker, Philanthropist & humanitarian and real asset for the masses of Pakistan. He is world renowned Pakistani philanthropist who always gave and gave the populace of Pakistan. He was a true sympathizer not only the poor and needy but also a whole Nation. May Allah grant him a superior place in Heaven... Ameen

He will be dearly missed. He was an epitome of kindness and humanity in Pakistan. We can only pray that his work will continue and not die out in vain. I guess the best way to keep his work alive is by bringing a change in ourselves somewhere.
