Alas Nattamkar Farooque bhai is no more.
It is learnt with deep sorrow that Janab
N. Farooque Ahmed sahib, owner of Messrs. N.M. Hashim & Co. breathed his
last due to sudden and severe cardiac arrest at about 10.30 am today, Sunday,
9/6/2019 at his native place Ambur. May his soul rest in peace.
Farooque sahib was a leading exporter
of leather and leather shoes. He was a well-known philanthropist helping the
poor and needy. Though rich he was very simple in his life style and behaviour.
He mixed with all without any discrimination. He was the nephew of Janab N.M.
Zackeria sahib, an industrialist of Ambur. He was also a Hafiz. He leaves
behind his wife, a son, two daughters and grandchildren. His son was with him
in business.
He respected Islamic scholars (ulema)
and patronized them to a great extent. He used to arrange spiritual lecturers
by inviting leading Maulanas. Three Masjids including Masjid-e-Hashim were
built by him. He has also published many books in Urdu containing lectures of late
Hazrath Hafiz Mohammed Usman sahib and Maulana Ihthishamul Haque sahib at his
own cost and distributed them to schools, colleges and interested people at
free of cost. In short he contributed a lot for the welfare of the community
and country.
May Allah give him the highest place
in the Jannah and patience to his near and dear ones to bear this great loss.
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ ۗ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۖ فَمَن زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ ۗ وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَاإِلَّا مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ - 3:185
Sahih International
