In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

It is with deep sadness to have received news about the passing away Engineer Abdullah Gul Rayyan Sahib – a renowned writer, scholar and Jihadi personality of the country – from this transient world to the everlasting abode due to losing battle with cancer.

Surely to Allah we belong and to Him is the final return!

The tutor Abdullah Gul Rayyan Sahib was a great personality of our country who suffered imprisonment, displacement and many hardships during Jihad against communism, carried out outstanding cultural and academic services during the reign of Islamic Emirate and participated with full sincerity in the ongoing Jihad against the American occupation.

The Islamic Emirate appreciates all services rendered by Engineer Abdullah Gul Rayyan, considers his passing away a huge loss for the country and the void created in academic and cultural fields due to his departure as irreplaceable.

The Islamic Emirate is deeply saddened by the passing away of Ustaz Rayyan Sahib, united with his family in this moment of grief, and offers condolence and solace to his sons and relatives. We pray to Allah Almighty that He grant the late Engineer Sahib Jannat ul Firdaus (highest Paradise) and his family, relatives and friends patience and a blessed substitute, Ameen.
