Innallahi wa inna ilayhi Rajioon. What a sad news. May Allah give his family patience and rest his soul in peace. What a fine scientist, teacher, leader and above all human being. Inspite of holding such a high position both nationaly and internationally he was so close to the people surrounding him. As his student I found him highly motivating and persuasive in carrying out good research. I found him a true GENTLMAN , the best I have ever come across. He will be misssed by many of his students along with his family and I pray for him. His legacy of high quality reasearch and contribution to common good will be upheld by all of us who came in contact with him.
