Tribute to (late) Professor
Dr. Hafeez Sahib:
Professor Dr. Hafeez Sahib was my eldest son Waleed's father-in-law. His first
anniversary (of passing away) falls today. He was the Professor and the Head
of the Department of Sociology at the Punjab University and the ex-Principal of
Aitchison College, Lahore.
The simple definition of life is the existence of an individual human being. I
find this definition incomplete. The very meaning of life is based on the
'interaction' of human beings. One comes across scores of people with whom
one interacts. Some are utter disappointments! Some are brilliant and influence
the lives of others with their Midas touch. My connection with Professor Dr.
Hafeez Sahib was of the latter nature
I consider it one of my major missing points in life to have met him but for a
very short duration. God had bestowed Dr. Hafeez Sahib the power to influence positively
whomever he met in life. He was a simple man who had a simple approach to
making others like life. This attribute I think is the biggest service a human
can grant his fellow human being.
My wife, Hureen, and my children Khalid and Ahmed had a very short acquaintance
with Dr. Hafeez Sahib. They had the opportunity of being counselled
individually by Dr. Hafeez Sahib. My children cherish this short acquaintance.
THIS is the meaning of life!
With scores of people and couples, Dr. Hafeez Sahib counselled and in the
process saved marriages from crumbling, I am sure Allah shall be too happy with
Him rewarding and bestowing him with an unending life of eternal bliss and
consummate contentment. Ameen.
The three lovely children of Dr. Hafeez, Anoop dear, Atabak and Aibak remain a
living legacy of Dr. & Mrs. Hafeez. They have been reared in the mould of
their parents - as humane human beings. THIS is the definition of life.
May Allah grant immediate reward to Dr and Mrs. Hafeez. Their lives and
'transfer' from this fleeting earth points to only one singular fact - we shall
all be meeting this couple in times to come. Rest easy Dr. Sahib and Mrs.
Hafeez. We pray for the cleansing of your sins and a life of eternal paradise
together blessed with Allah's forgiveness. Ameen.
Allahummagh firlahu warrhamhu,
(Allah forgive them and have mercy on them)
Allahumma jannata maa al abrar.
(Allah enter them in your paradise with your selected servants)
Ameen
