We pray that may Almighty Allah Bless him and his soul rest in peace. May Allah give courage to the family to bear this great loss.

It is a tragedy for any nation where death of a scholar such as Obaidullah Baig makes a little news. Such societies are deemed to vanish where corrupt and rogue elements makes big headlines and even whole day t.v. can be spent on highliting their eveil deeds.
May Allah protect Pakistan and the sleepy nation. |
