On 7th December, we lost yet another iconic figure of Pakistan. Junaid Jamshed. I grew up listening to his songs as a little girl. Dil Dil Pakistan will always be an all time favourite. However, this is not how I would like to remember him...
Junaid Jamshed was a man who left behind his passion for music, his fame and his popularity for the sake of Allah (SWT). His transformation from a famous musician to a preacher of Islam has and will always amaze me. Subhan Allah! As sad and depressing as his loss is, Junaid Jamshed left us with a valuable parting lesson - to let go of one's worldly desires for the sake of Allah (SWT) may be hard but not impossible.
May Allah (SWT) accept all his contributions to the deen, increase his rank in Jannah, and rest his soul in peace. And May Allah (SWT) give sabr to his family and friends to cope with this terrible loss. Ameen!
Let his example be an inspiration for us to turn to Allah (SWT) before we return to Allah (SWT). May Allah (SWT) guide us to the right path and call us back to Him when The Almighty is pleased with us as His faithful servants. Ameen!
Let us also not forget the 40+ other people who were also aboard that doomed flight. They were also someone's relatives and friends and Junaid Jamshed's demise should not over shadow the fact that many other people lost their lives in this tragic accident. May Allah (SWT) rest their souls in peace and give sabr to all those affected by this tragedy. Ameen!
Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Rajioon!
