Benefiting from the scholarly and religious affiliation of his revered father, the late Maulana rendered services in the religious field and earned respect and high standing among both the general public and elites due to his competence, good manners, and religious dedication. He had very good relations with Maulana Mohammad Yunus; upon his guidance, the late Maulana rendered religious services at a madrasa in Nippani, Karnataka state. May Almighty Allah accept all his services. The funeral prayer and burial of the late Maulana will be held today after Asr prayer in Masoom Colony.

He prayed that Almighty Allah grant complete forgiveness to the late Maulana Atiq-ur-Rahman Qasmi, overlook his shortcomings, elevate his ranks, bestow upon him a high place in Jannat al-Firdaus, and honor his religious services with acceptance. May Almighty Allah grant beautiful patience and immense reward to the revered father of the deceased, his family, and all the bereaved. Amen.
