As the world mourns pop star-turned evangelist Junaid Jamsheds death, his eldest son Taimur has poured his heart out on social media.
In a heart-wrenching post on Facebook, Taimur reminisced about his baba. For the past 10 days, Ive been thinking and saying the same thing to almost everyone. To me my dad was just my dad. Every time he came home we got excited and would run from our rooms to meet him. At the end of the day, we would get on with our thing. Because he was just our baba and we knew he wasnt going anywhere, he wrote.
Junaid was laid to rest at Karachis Jamia Darul Uloom last week. He was travelling from Chitral to Islamabad on December 6s ill-fated PK-661 when the flight crashed near Abbottabad, killing all 48 people on board.
He further revealed that his father had been praying for martyrdom. One of his companions told me, during one of his sermons in Chitral he stopped in the middle and told everyone to sayAmeen to his dua which was, aye Allah mujhe apni rah mein shahadat naseeb farma, he wrote.
Sharing a fond memory of his late father, Taimur wrote, One time I remember we were in London and it started raining. Our clothes were drying in our backyard so mom told dad to bring them inside before they got wet. In the process he said, Koi agar dekh lay Junaid Jamshed ki family unsay kya kaam kara rahi hai. We all cracked up. Now that hes gone, I realised he wasnt just our dad. He was much much more than that. He was no ordinary person like we thought he was. He touched millions of peoples lives.
He further described the moment he broke into tears when he saw thousands of people rushing towards Junaids body to pay their last respects to him at the funeral. This showed me that this man wasnt just my baba, he was family and someone special to just about everyone.
People from around the world came for his janaza and explained he would keep in touch with everyone. He would call them, message them, be concerned for them. If you notice for the past year he would always be on his phone in his pictures and like me, I feel everyone wondered why he was on his phone all the time. It was because he was always busy reminding everyone he knew that he was thinking of them and praying for them.
Earlier, Junaids sons had pledged to carry forward their deceased fathers initiatives. Talking to the media after he had been laid to rest, Taimur, Babar and Saifullah had thanked everyone for their support in the wake of Junaids untimely death.
