Of Indian origin, his family migrated to Pakistan at the time of Partition from Jalandhar. He was professionally a physician but through in-depth studies of the Holy Quran, he became one its great exponents and interpreters of our time in the modern context. Dr Asrar wanted to see Pakistan develop into a Islamic Welfare State, at peace with its people & with the world and never collaborated with anti-democratic & military rulers. A few years ago, on his visit to India to deliver lectures he was deeply impressed by the democratic freedoms which the Muslim Indians enjoyed and the resilience with which they preserved their religious & cultural identity. I recall his statement that he had travelled throughout the world & had come to believe that *the renaissance of Islam shall take place in the sub-continent; it shall rise from the soil of India, not of Pakistan*. Dr Asrar Ahmed shall be long remembered for his interpretation of the true spirit of Islam and for his unique style of communication with the educated Muslims. The AIMMM pays its humble tributes to his memory, conveys its sincere condolences to his associates of his organization Tanzim-e-Islami, to the people of Pakistan and to the members of his family. The AIMMM prays to Allah for his Maghferat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authorised for publication New Delhi, (Abdul Waheed) 14 Apri, 2010 Office Secretary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "humanrights movement" group.
