Inna lillahi wa Inni Alai hi Rajiun

It is with a very heavy heart that we at IQRA’ share the news of the passing this morning of our dear mentor, teacher, scholar and guide, Dr. Irfan Ahmad Khan.

Dr. Irfan was a noble soul whose trust and reliance on Allah had no parallel.  His love for and knowledge of the Book of Allah were immeasurable. We who were his friends will sorely miss him and we pray that Allah grants him the highest place in paradise.

We also would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family, confidantes and students of Dr. Irfan Ahmad Khan.  May Allah give all of us patience to endure this loss and the fortitude to follow on his footsteps.

Dr. Tasneema K. Ghazi
