Abdullah Khan

July 31, 1952 - November 7, 2020

Here we have come together to remember our beloved Abdullah Khan, the strength of our family. May Allah shower His mercy on our dearest Abdullah Khan, and grant him the highest place in Jannah. “Surely to Allah we belong and to Him we return”. Abdullah brought joy to everyone around him. A great son, husband, father, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, he touched lives in meaningful and unforgettable ways. With his warmth, optimism and charming demeanor he made an instant connection with all who met him. He was a visionary, a man ahead of his times which helped shape the futures of many around him. He was immensely hard working, an entrepreneur and a farmer. He was a voracious reader, pursuer of knowledge in every field, a globetrotter, a food connoisseur, an incredible cook, and an avid shopper. He had a love for exploring and learning. His generosity and kindness rendered support and help to all who needed it. We will miss his warmth, energy, and ever-smiling face, and not to forget that twinkle in his eyes. The values Abdullah exemplified have become even more important to us, as we strive to embrace them in our lives. This website cherishes his memories forever and shares his life with others. This couplet, his favorite, will always remind us of him— “Gulon mein rang bhare baad-e-nau-bahaar chale, Chale bhi aao ke gulshan ka kaarobaar chale”

Abdullah Sir was a larger than life personality. He was an energetic, sharp, ambitious and a well travelled Consultant. His knowledge on water and environment always amazed me considering he was an electrical engineer! He was truly way ahead of his time. As a 20 something Engineer, he gave me an opportunity to work on my dream project: The Dal Lake Conservation project. He could see how eager I was to work on my home project and made me a part of his IRAM Consult family. We were around 10-12 of us working from a flat in Zakir Bagh. I have fond memories of that year where I learned a lot and made some great friends: He treated us like his family. He set us strict deadlines but equally took great care of us. I remember once I had food poisoning and knowing that I live in a hostel, he made sure Dhan Singh, his cook made khichdi for me everyday till I completely recovered. I worked on the project for a year and a half and then moved to England. Last I met him was in Srinagar in 2002 and we discussed what all could be done to revive the Dal Lake and how the govt was busy changing consultants and dragging it's feet on implementation. I feel terrible for not staying in touch with him all these years. People are precious and it's so important to touch base once in a while. I had a photo with him and our team but can't find it now. When I do, will surely share it InshaALLAH. May ALLAH grant him Jannat ul firdous and give lots of sabar to you all. I have no words to express how much I feel your pain and want to assure you that he is part of my magfirat prayers every day. InshaALLAH heavens would have opened the doors for him. This separation is temporary, you as a family will meet again InshaALLAH in Jannah. Cherish the memories till you meet again. Love and duas Anusha
