A father’s pain never fades’: Tariq Jamil remembers son

Renowned religious scholar Maulana Tariq Jamil has remembered his son, Asim Jamil, on the third anniversary of his death, saying the pain of losing him remains as intense as it was on the first day.

In a message shared on social media platform X on Thursday, October 29, Tariq Jamil recalled his son and offered prayers for his forgiveness and eternal peace.

The religious scholar said the grief of losing a young child could only be truly understood by parents who had experienced such a tragedy themselves. He added that while time continued to pass, the pain of separation from a child never completely faded.

“Three years have passed since my son Asim left this world, but the pain of his separation remains as fresh as it was on the first day,” he said in his message.

Remembering his son in his prayers, Tariq Jamil asked Allah to forgive Asim, fill his grave with divine light and mercy, and grant him an elevated place in Jannat-ul-Firdous.

His emotional message reflected the lasting grief experienced by parents who lose their children, even years after their passing. The scholar’s words also conveyed his continued remembrance of his son through prayers and supplications.

Asim Jamil died on October 29, 2023, in Talamba, Punjab. According to reports at the time, he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.

His death came as a shock to his family and those familiar with the prominent religious scholar. Three years later, Tariq Jamil’s message has once again brought attention to the family’s loss and the enduring pain of losing a loved one.
