*إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ*
*(Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return. - Holy Quran 2:156)*

It is with an immense sense of personal and collective loss that I, *Javeed Jameel, District President of the Jammu and Kashmir Teachers' Forum (JKTF), Pulwama,* extend my most heartfelt condolences to our dedicated brother, *Syed Ajaz Nagbal Sahib, Senior Journalist*, and the entire esteemed family, on the passing of his revered father, *Peer Hussain Ahmad Shah Sahib.*
The news of this deeply saddening event has been received by the entire teaching fraternity of Pulwama with heavy hearts. We mourn not just the departure of an individual, but the fading of a luminous soul whose life was a beacon of virtue, Taqwa (piety), and unwavering moral conviction. Peer Sahib's existence was a living sermon, embodying the timeless values of simplicity and commitment, leaving behind a rich legacy of righteousness that will continue to inspire generations.
In this moment when the grief is overwhelming, let us draw strength from the profound meaning of the *Istirja (the Quranic verse recited upon hearing of a loss*). It is a glorious affirmation that life and death are not accidental, but are facets of a majestic, divine plan, reminding us that every trial is an opportunity for boundless reward (Ajr) for those who maintain beautiful patience (Sabr-e-Jameel).
On behalf of all teaching fraternity who stand in solidarity with *Syed Ajaz Nagbal Sahib* , we raise our hands in earnest Dua (supplication):

1. May Al-Mighty Allah shower *Peer Hussain Ahmad Shah Sahib* with infinite Mercy (Rehmat), forgive his sins, and expand his grave, illuminating it with the celestial Noor.
2. May Allah (SWT) grant him an exalted station in Jannat-ul-Firdous, placing him among the righteous who have fulfilled their worldly trust with honour and dignity.
3. To the family, may the Almighty replace your sorrow with enduring comfort, grant you the fortitude to embrace the divine will, and reward you manifold for this immense patience.
We pray that the inspiring memories of his blessed life will serve as a continuous source of strength, guiding you through the darkness of this grief towards the light of faith.
Ameen, Summa Ameen.
