A Son’s Tribute to his father
Forty days have quietly passed since the soul of Late Aga Syed Muhammad Mousvi, son of Late Zakir Syed Ali Musavi, departed from this mortal world. Yet, for his family, followers, and admirers, his presence still lingers in their hearts, his memory alive in every prayer, in every tear, and in every fond remembrance. On 28th of August 2025, as we marked his Chehlum (40th), we reflected not only on his loss but also on the profound legacy he has left behind.
Late Aga Syed Muhammad Mousvi was a man of deep spirituality, known far and wide for his sincerity, simplicity, and devotion. He lived a life that was not only rooted in faith but also dedicated to serving humanity. People from near and distant lands recognized him as a beacon of solace, turning to him in their times of despair. His guidance was never just in words—it carried the essence of spirituality, empathy, and healing.
One of the unique aspects of his blessed service to mankind was the spiritual amulets (taweez) he prepared, which became a source of healing and relief for countless people. Many found comfort and cure through them, and for those suffering from ailments and afflictions, his spiritual remedies became a ray of hope. These were not mere symbols, but a reflection of his strong connection with the Divine, his piety, and his prayers for the well-being of others.
His departure has left behind an emptiness—a void that cannot be easily filled. His followers feel orphaned without his guiding hand, his relatives miss his presence that brought unity and warmth, and above all, his beloved sons, Syed Yasoob Musavi and Syed Ali Musavi, carry the heaviest burden of loss. Their father was not only a parent but also a teacher, a protector, and a role model. The pain of his absence is felt most deeply in their hearts, yet his spirit lives on through them, through his teachings, and through the values he instilled in them.
The Chehlum is not only a day of remembrance but also a reminder of the impermanence of life. It teaches us that the righteous live on through their deeds, their prayers, and the lives they have touched. Late Aga Syed Muhammad Mousvi’s memory continues to inspire all those who knew him, reminding us that true greatness lies in serving humanity, in healing the broken, and in bringing light to the lives of others.
As we pray for the elevation of his soul, we ask Almighty Allah to shower His mercy upon him, to grant him a high place among the righteous, and to give strength and patience to his family, especially his sons, to carry forward his legacy of spirituality and service.
Indeed, his absence is painful, but his life remains a guiding example. Though he has left this world, Late Aga Syed Muhammad Mousvi continues to live in the prayers of his followers, in the respect of his relatives, and in the everlasting love of his children.
May Allah grant him eternal peace!
Forty days have passed, O guide so dear,
Yet your fragrance lingers, ever near.
Your memory brings the soul its peace,
Your name is a light where prayers never cease.
The lamps healing your hands once lit,
Still shine with hope where the weary sit.
When recalled, the eyes fill with tears,
Your image lives on through your sons’ sincere prayers.
O Syed Muhammad Mousvi, your absence remains,
But your name shall echo through eternal domains.
چالیس دن ہوئے تجھ کو گئے اے رہنما،
اب بھی تیری خوشبو ہے دل کی فضاؤں میں۔
تیرے تذکرے سے ملتا ہے سکونِ جاں،
تیرا ذکر ہے روشنی دعاؤں میں۔
شفا کے دیپ جلائے تھے جو تو نے،
وہ آج بھی امید ہیں فقیروں کی راہوں میں۔
یاد آئے تو آنکھیں بھیگ جاتی ہیں،
تیرا عکس زندہ ہے فرزندوں کی دعاؤں میں۔
اے سید محمد موسوی، تیری کمی ہمیشہ رہے گی،
پر تیرا نام زندہ رہے گا زمانوں میں
