They followed his funeral procession.

Renowned Shia Islamic scholar, philosopher and intellectual Allama Talib Jauhari laid to rest at the compound of the library named after him in New Rizvia.

Legend Shia Islamic orator Allama Talib Jauhari passed away in Karachi after illness.

The family confirmed the sad demise of the eminent octogenarian Shia Islamic scholar, orator, author, philosopher and intellectual.

Earlier, the family had shifted him to a private hospital for treatment. He suffered from diabetes and cardiac issues.

Finally, he welcomed the call from God to eternity at midnight between June 21 and 22.

Born in pre-partition India’s Bihar province in August 1938, Talib Johari brought up among a well-known family of his pious father Allama Muhammad Mustafa Johar.

Few people know this fact that Allama Talib Jauhari got his religious education in Najaf (Iraq). Hence, he was a qualified Shia Islamic scholar.

Allama Talib Jauhari studied Islamic theology in Najaf, under Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Abul Qasim al-Khoei. He also remained a pupil of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Baqir al-Sadr who later embraced martyrdom.

Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Sistani was one of his seniors while Allama Zeeshan Haider Jawwadi was also one of his class fellows in Najaf.

Allama Talib Jauhari also ran a Shia Islamic seminary in North Nazimabad and taught as principal and teacher.

Qualified Najafi scholar

However, he always dressed like an ordinary Shia Islamic orator of the subcontinent due to which people view him as zakir or khateeb (orator).

During 1980s and 1990s, Pakistan Television (PTV) broadcast his lectures on Holy Quran and Islamic issues under the topic of Tafheem-e-Deen and Fahmul Quran.

Then, he succeeded Allama Naseer Ijtihadi as the main scholar of Ashura under the title of Khateeb-e-Shaam-e-Ghareeban.
