NEWYORK: A Pakistani immigrant Mohammad Asif, who migrated to the United States from Pakistan thirty-six years ago in search of a bright future, has passed away in New York. He was 61. The body of the deceased has been shifted to his hometown Gujranwala for burial.
Mohammad Asif Mullah, a resident of Gujranwala, Pakistan, migrated to America in 1989 at the young age of 25 for a better future and to fulfill his dreams.
Asif did various jobs and has been driving a taxi for a long time. Due to the lack of necessary legal documents, he could not travel to Pakistan. During this long period of 36 years, many people including Muhammad Asif’s wife have left this world, but he could not remove the shackles of compulsions.
Friends of the Asif made arrangements for his funeral through Al Rayyan Muslim Funeral Services. Mohammad Asif’s funeral prayers were offered at the Mecca Masjid on Coney Island Avenue.
A large number of friends and community members of the deceased attended the funeral prayer. On this occasion, the Imam of the mosque said that many desires arise in the heart and mind of a person with time, but he should remember that death is an irrevocable reality which time is fixed, but no one knows when that moment will come in his life.
After the funeral prayer, the body of the late Mohammad Asif Mullah has been sent to Pakistan from John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. The funeral and burial of the deceased will be held in his hometown of Gujranwala.
