Renowned spiritual leader and Imam of Dargah Hazratbal, Maulana Sayeed Ahmad Farooqi, breathed his last on Monday following a brief period of illness. Having presided over prayers at Dargah Hazratbal for more than two decades, Maulana Farooqi’s demise marks a significant loss for the community.

The family of Maulana Sayeed Ahmad Farooqi has announced that his Nimaz-e-Jinaza, the funeral prayer, will be held at 9 PM subsequent to the Isha prayers. The serene lawns of Dargah Hazratbal will serve as the venue for the final rites, where his devotees and well-wishers will have an opportunity to pay their respects.
Maulana Sayeed Ahmad Farooqi’s legacy is indelibly linked with Dargah Hazratbal, where he passionately led congregational prayers, providing spiritual support and fostering a sense of community. His departure leaves a void that will be deeply felt by those who were touched by his teachings and his benevolent presence.
