Syed Fazal Ahmed Passes Away
Syed Fazal Ahmed of Philadelphia Majlis passed away on February 25, 2019 after a hard and long fight with cancer over the last few years, Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un.
Syed Fazal Ahmed
He has served Majlis Ansarullah USA as Qa'id Ta'limul Qur'an, Na'ib Nazim of North East region and Za'im of Philadelphia Majlis. He continued to serve the Jama'at in one capacity or the other until the very end of his life.
He was a selfless and dedicated servant of the Jama'at of the Promised Messiah (may peace be on him). He served the Jama'at in various capacities including General Secretary of Philadelphia Jama'at, Qadi in US Jama'at's Qada system, Assistant National Secretary Ta'limul Qur'an, and Assistant National Secretary Waqf Nau.
He had deep love for the Holy Qur'an and spearheaded the Hifzul Qur'an (memorization of the Holy Qur'an) classes with utmost dedication along with immense love and care for the students. He continued to lead many Ta'limul Qur'an initiatives despite battling cancer for many years.
Tanvir Ahmad, Qa'id Health says:
He was diagnosed with liver cancer about five years ago. He was extremely content and never complained about his illness and always remained grateful to Allah. He continued to serve tirelessly in many different capacities. He was meek of heart and never sought prominence or an office as a condition to serve. He was kind, supportive and persuasive. Never did he get angry even when my Majlis reports were not good.
Despite his illness, he always attended the Majlis’ National Ijtima and greeted everyone with great zeal and vigor.
Erfan Ahmed, Za'im of Cleveland Majlis shares his fond memories:
I feel compelled to say that I had been seeing him very regularly at the Ijtima'at and Jalsas. Though I did not know him personally, I interacted with him here and there. He was always very kind, polite, pleasant and well spoken. I don't think I will be wrong to say that he was the face of the Jama'at for me all these years.
Members remember him as a very loving, all smiles, and brotherly personality and will miss him dearly. It is a big loss to Majlis, Jama'at and his family. May Almighty Allah elevate his status in the highest echelons of paradise and may He be the protector of his family, Ameen.
