MamuJan was the gentlest of souls, his smile was unique and his voice so soft. There was no family function, happy or sad, that he missed, always there to support. He was the snappiest dressed of our uncles. A real joy to be around đź’•
My memory of nana-mamoo Salah-Uddin is from back in Scarborough/Toronto, when I was younger, and he came to visit us. I still vividly remember that moment. He was genuinely graceful and lovingly affectionate, and I felt instantly drawn to him like a father figure. Looking at his pictures, I can visualize how stylish he was, and that he was truly a...
Humzah Karim Salah-ud-Din and I were friends since our boyhood days in Masaka, Uganda and our friendship flourished over a long period of several decades. From Uganda we went to Pakistan separately to pursue our University education and we were resident on the same college campus in Lahore. On return to Uganda we continued our friendship, and although we lived at long distances from each other we remained in contact, and whenever he came to our home town in Masaka he always came to see me. Our friendship deepened in Leicester, and in the last few years we use to go together for our Friday congregational prayers at the local Mosque where we had the opportunity for spending some time with friends after the prayers when we discussed various topics of mutual interests including religion, politics, current affairs and history. We also went together for Eid prayers, and generally on return either to my home or to my office we had some tea and refreshments. Salah-ud-Din was an honourable person, upright, dignified, trustworthy, well dressed, polite and courteous, and always willing and able to help others. When discussing the mysteries of life I remember having quoted the following thoughts of Maulana Jalal al-Din Rumi, the 13th century poet philosopher. “I died as an inanimate matter and arose a plant I died as a plant and arose an animal I died as an animal and arose a man I shall die once again as a man to arise an angel, perfect from head to foot When I suffer dissolution as an angel I shall become what passes the concept of man Let me therefore, become non-existent For non-existence sings to me in loudest terms To Him we shall return” Salah-ud-Din was a great friend and I shall always miss him. I pray that Allah may rest his soul in eternal peace in Paradise. Ameen Manzoor Moghal
I first met Salaudin in Leicester in 1973 and we became close friends. He taught me the meaning of the word "friendship." He had a great sense of humour and an immaculate sense of dress. He would smile whenever I addressed him as "the best dressed Pakistani in UK". I shall always cherish his memories I pray to The Almighty God to rest his soul in p...
I have a lifetime of memories with mamu who was a kind, gentle and softly spoken individual. My abiding memory is the support and kindness he showed to his first cousin- my mum. In the absence of other family she felt he was a rock and support for which I will always be grateful. Mamu was also a great companion for my father - they worked toge...
In my experience Shau Mamu has been one of the most welcoming and accommodating people I've known, especially when I was younger as a very fussy eater. He had the loveliest warm smile and made sure we felt truly welcome as Harry and I always got the comfiest seats in the living room. We love you and miss you Shau Mamu, you will live on in our heart...
I had only met Shau Mamu once but I'm glad I had that opportunity. During the wonderful lunch we had with Shau Mamu, Asifa, and Mohiyuddin, Shau Mamu showed us a lot of warmth and hospitality. This was felt further when he phoned Anisa to tell her how happy he was to have us there with him in a very cheerful voice. He also showed his great sense ...
My earliest memory is visiting Durnford Road and seeing an impeccably dressed gentleman with the most impressive moustache. This has remained a constant throughout the years, the perfectly ironed shirt, the neat tie and that flawless moustache. I don't recall ever meeting anyone quite so well dressed. My favourite memories are those involving stor...
My memory of Shau Mamu will always be of a person who was very kind and hospitable whenever I saw him. The most distinctive part of his character for me was how open he was. Even when the visits were short, he wouldn't be afraid to put the world to rights if needs be. I'll treasure those times, and wish the best one year on to auntie Asifa, Nuzhat,...
The one word that defines Bhai Salahuddin is dignity. He could be passionate, he could be funny, he was always generous and hospitable, and with these qualities he always carried himself with a dignified air. He had precision and accuracy, tempered with awareness and caring. Once when we came on holiday to Britain, Bio lent us his car in London ...
