On the authority of Abu Hurairah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, ‘When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah (a continuous charity), or knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him’. (Muslim). 

This is the JustGiving page, set up in remembrance of our beloved father, Haji Mohammed Shabir Sarwar.

Throughout his life, our father was committed to fighting hard for his community. He used his voice to stand up for the vulnerable and always found time to help those who were most in need. We continue to hear from people far and wide as to the impact our father had on them and the community as a whole. May Allah SWT reward him abundantly for the sacrifices he made and the impact he had on people’s lives. Ameen.

Many of you may know our father as Barrister Shabir from the Muslim Resource Centre. But to us he was just simply dad, our abbaa. He was always there for us, night and day, despite his heavy workload. He was a dutiful son to his parents and a loving brother to his siblings. He was the heart of our family and the pillar of our community. We pray that his legacy can continue to be fulfilled through acts of charity and Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous, flowing and ongoing charity) on his behalf.

We have chosen to fundraise for KORT (Kashmir Orphan Relief Trust) in our father’s memory, as Kashmir was a place that was very close to our father’s heart. KORT is currently operating a range of projects, one of which includes emergency funding for the most vulnerable and needy affected by COVID-19 in Kashmir.

We are most grateful for your support and donations towards this cause. May Allah SWT accept it from us and allow this to be a means of continuous reward for him, Ameen.
