My respected father Hadhrat Cdr. (R) Shaukat Kamal, khalifa mujaz of sayyidi wa sanadi Hadhrat Mawlana Taqi Usmani (may Allah preserve him) passed away on Friday 19 Sha’ban 1429/22 August 2008 (1145Hrs) after a brief severe illness.

He was 78 years old. The funeral prayers was done after asr salah at Masjid Bait-us-Salam, DHA, Karachi. Hadhrat Hasan Imam khalifa of Hadhrat Nawab Eshrat Ali Khan (may Allah preserve them) and Dr Hafeezullah (may Allah have mercy on him) did the imamet.
