He was a beautiful wise humble servant of Allah SWT and a dear teacher and a brother, May Allah SWT Shower him with His Mercy, Forgive any shortcomings and Place him in Highest of Jannah

I (Essam Omeish) was blessed to be the president of MAS when he was the Ameer of ICNA. We met many times and were on stages together, I have always had the warmest affinity to his purity, humbleness and towering spirit.

He would call just to check on his younger brother and would send the warmest messages.

He was a man of deep spirituality and a worker of immeasurable devotion.

He belonged to where he returned, with the Grace of Allah SWT in the Fridous Alalaa. Ameeen – Essam Omeish

I Omer Sulieman am Heartbroken at the death of a humble pioneer. Dr. Khurshid Khan, the former Ameer of ICNA and lifetime Islamic worker, passed away tonight in New York. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon. He meant so much to this community, yet mainly worked behind the scenes.

I remember when I gave the most difficult lecture of my life about my mother (may Allah have mercy on her) at ICNA. Dr. Khurshid, the President at the time, saw me backstage in tears and came and hugged me and cried with me, then gave me some of the most meaningful advice I had ever received.

He was always humble, and always looking after young Islamic workers. I always felt a great sense of affection and admiration for him. These are the people you don’t hear much about that do incredible grassroots work.

May Allah have mercy on him and raise his rank in the eternal gardens. Ameen Omer Suleman
