Farwell Muhammad Fida Hussain
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.

Now we would miss our beautiful friend/colleague with the beautiful smile and with a beautiful soul."

Alhamdulillah. Ilahi Aameen
Recalling Munir one Shaukat Malik from the Veterans' forum on Face book recalls: A jolly upright and good human being. We served together in ISSB Kohat as GTOs and everyone enjoyed his company. May Allah bless him. Ameen
