Allama Sajid Naqvi praises Allama Talib Jauhari

Veteran and seasoned scholar and political Islamic leader Allama Syed Sajid Naqvi expressed profound grief and sorrow over sad demise of eminent scholar, author and poet.

He said Allama Talib Jauhari preached unity of Muslims.

The SUC leader cited his religious sermons and speeches aimed at educating all Muslims while the latter also revere him.

People belonging to all schools of thought respect him in high esteem because they benefit his thought provoking points which benefit from his thought provoking points on Quranic verses and Islamic history.

Allama Sajid Naqvi offered condolences to his family and admirers. He prayed God rest Allama Talib Jauhari in eternal peace.

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.

Najafi scholar

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.

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.
