Renowned Pakistani scholar Allama Talib Johri passes away

Renowned Shia scholar Allama Talib Johri passed away in Karachi in the early hours of Monday at the age of 81.

Johri had been under treatment in the intensive care ward of a Karachi hospital for an as yet undisclosed illness. .

According to family sources, funeral prayers will be said after Zuherain prayers in Amroha Ground, Ancholi Society.

Born on August 27, 1939, Allama Talib Johri was the son of renowned scholar Allama Mustafa Khan Johar. He had long held an esteemed position in the community of Pakistani scholars.

He was respected widely for the spiritually invigorating ‘Shaam-e-Ghareebaan’ gatherings he hosted in Karachi’s Nishtar Park. Muslims from all schools of thought would travel from far and wide to hear him speak.

A master orator, he was also a prolific writer. He wrote several books, including a detailed commentary on the Quran. He was also a poet, and three compilations of his poetry were published during his lifetime.

With deep sorrow when I heard demise of #AllamaTalibJohri at Karachi. His scholastic work and speeches about Islam and Karbala will remain asset for upcoming generation. I pray Allah SWT to place him jannah and give enough courage to family member to bear this great loss
