Farwell Muhammad Fida Hussain

 

(3 September 1952 - 5 February 2024)

There always some people around you who lie low always in their complete humbleness, yet sincerity and love for others. Our comrade Muhammad Fid Hussain was one such brother who was not seen much, but was always in our hearts for his complete selfless life, both within the army and in the period of retirement.  And for this reason, the delayed news his demise came as a surprise to most us. He left for his heavenly abode on 5th February 2024 in CMH Multan due to cardiac arrest during dialysis.

انا للہ وانا الیہ راجعون 

Fida was already a graduate (B Sc) when he joined the Pakistan Military Academy. He was originally from Khalid 3 platoon but passed from Ghaznavi Company in 1977. I do not have many photos of our late comrade. But found a few from my PMA collection:

As mentioned by his son, Fida was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) around 2 years back and has since been on medication. But gradually the disease worsened over time and eventually he had to undergo the Dialysis treatment in CMH Multan. His dialysis treatment continued for approximately 1 month. Although he walked without assistance but his overall health has significantly declined as per medical reports. On 5th February 2024 he suffered from cardiac arrest during dialysis around 3 pm in CMH Multan and succumbed to it. 

He was buried in his native city Layyah on 6th February 2024, buried next to his parents. He is survived by Bhabi sahiba, a daughter and four sons.

Recalling Fida, this is what his platoon mates and others said:

Jamil recalls Fida Hussain (Sufi) as a very kind and humble person, who would usually like to stay quite. He adds:  As I was trying to find and add every course mate of ours from around the world in "Brothers55" WhatsApp group but few were difficult to find and Fida Hussain was one of them. But Alhamdulillah after 5+ years of efforts I finally found him and added to the group but he liked to stay quite, though he would occasionally say hello to me. It was a shock for me to know about his demise as I sent a message on his cellphone to know about his welfare in routine but his replied from Fida's phone that his beloved Dad is no more. May Almighty Allah bless him with the best place of Jannah tul Firdous and grant family Sabr e Jameel Aameen!

Aslam Javed says that he called one of his school fellows in Multan where Fida was residing in Al Quraish colony. He told him that Fida was active member of society and regular member of mosque committee.

Alamgir said Fida was our platoon mate, a simple and  thorough gentle soul with no kinks and inhibitions, village back ground like me, a very humble person. May Allah swt bless his soul and peace in eternity. 

May Allah grant Muhammad Fida Hussain a place in Jannat ul firdous and grant sabr to his family in this difficult time. Ameen. May Allah bless all our course mates who have left us earlier than us and rest their souls in peace up in the heavens. Ameen.
