Srinagar, June 18 (KNS): Chairman Democratic Progressive Azad Party Ghulam Nabi Azad  has condoled the demise of the eminent religious scholar, Hazrat Baji Muzaffar Hussain Shah and shared in the grief of his family and followers.

 Azad said, “The passing away of Baji Muzaffar Hussain Shah Sahab has deeply saddened me. He will be remembered for his erudite perceptiveness on theology and religion.

On his demise, I pay my earnest tributes to him and pray to Almighty to grant him the highest place in the Jannat. I also express my heartfelt sympathies with the bereaved family, admirers and followers of his at this difficult time. Baji Sahab’s passing away has undeniably created a void in the field of Islamic learning which would not be filled for many years to come.

He further said,  Baji Sahab was a persuasive, forceful, and well versed orator with unparalleled depth of insight, profundity of scholarship and ease of illuminating exposition.

In his demise we have lost a great Sufi polymath, whose absence will be greatly felt in the circles of Islamic learning although the gems he has left behind through his writings will continue to guide the people for years to come.(KNS)
