REMEMBERING A GREAT VISIONARY LEADER

MULLA ASGHARALI M. M. JAFFER

"I don't pray for His acceptance of my a'amal as much as I pray for the opportunity to serve. And the day He grants me a new opportunity to serve, I believe the previous ones have been accepted. And I hope till my last breath the opportunities are there and when the Almighty calls me back, I will be able to tell my Lord, Thank You for giving me life,       

Jab tak mai' jiu'n kidhmate khalq karta rahu'n mai'n,

Maut aa'e Yaa Rabb, isi khidmat mei'n maru'n mai'n.

Mulla Asgharali M. M. Jaffer

We request you to remember Marhum Mulla Asgharali with Sura-e-Fateha
