In memory of Naveed Muhammad Butt

(24 May 1955 - 23 August 2024)
28th August 2024 was yet another day  of mourning for all of us for on this day we lost yet another brother, comrade and course Naveed Muhammad Butt. 
‎إِنَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

I never had a direct interaction with Naveed except once. While doing JOL at SI&T, Quetta, he was my buddy in the night map reading exercises. Like all duos, we too walked in the wilderness around Quetta from bound to bound. Naveed had a stick with him and he poked it in every hole that came our way to find a snake. Fortunately he found none.

In his last days, Naveed has started tweeting that somehow expressed extreme sadness and perhaps giving a indication that he knew of his end time. Just read the tweets - it says all:

May Allah bless Naveed and all our course mates who have left us earlier than us and rest their souls in peace up in the heavens. Ameen. 

Please refer to our Reference Page to read about all those of us who have left us midway for their Heavenly abode.
