Lt. Col (R) Imtiaz Najam, father of Adil Najam, passed away in Pakistan on May 23rd. He was 75.
Inna lilah e wa inna ileh rajeoon.
Please pray for the ‘maghfarat’ of deceased soul and ‘sabr’ to his family. It is also a part of our Pakistaniat to join each other in our times of sorrow and provide support to each other.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
I do not know his face or name,
neither his designation
I do not know if he was sick
or called up for no reason
But I am sure, he must be good
to raise someone like you
He must have gone with head held high,
must have been proud of you
And though the hurt won’t go away
this pain will last a lifetime
But he has left this cruel world
for another that’s just sublime
He lives through you, he breathes through you
You are him, he’s alive
Do not depair, ’cause we all care
and pray for which you strive

May the departed soul rest in peace, may his family be granted ‘sabr’
Our best wishes and prayers are with entire family. I just offered fateha for the departed soul and would request all readers of this site to do the same.
Dear Dr. Najam…
my deepest sympathies for your loss. May Allah’s endless forgiveness embrace your fathers soul…
I know you only through this blog and that is enough to tell me that your father raised a good son and gave him character and a conscience as well …and that speaks of a life well lived..
May Allah’s mercy temper your sorrow.. Ameen…
Dear Dr. Adil;
May the Almighty grant you the fortitude to bear the loss of your beloved and illustrious father. I am certain he left this life a contented man; brimming with pride in having raised fine specimens of Patriotism and Humanity, with generosity of spirit, in you and your siblings.
Inna lillahe wa inna ilahe rajeoon.
Wa Salaam;
Salim Chowdhrey.
Adil, as many others have already mentioned, a person of your character, dedication, and having such concern for others could only have been raised by excellent parents such as yours. Please accept our sincerest condolences.
