"I'd had recent issues with JJ for his particular brand of religious commentary and the role he played in Pakistan's larger present-day ecosystem. We can never forget Junaid Bhai! He held a tremendous appeal for the youth of Pakistan. In those brief moments, he only talked to us about how we should live our lives here. My sons Safwan and Rayyan took a photograph with him. There was peace and tranquility on his face and in his persona. He talked to us and we were mesmerised! He had a very impressive and charming personality and of course a voice which one can never forget.
I along with my wife and three children were so excited to meet him. "A couple of years back we were invited to a fund-raising event for a mosque in Melbourne, in which Junaid Bhai was the chief guest.Īs you can imagine, although a public event, but unlike Pakistan, not a lot of people were there and meeting a celebrity like Junaid Jamshed in person was a possibility! It was remarkable! I wish I could have told Junaid Jamshed about this."
Their immediate reaction was, " Dil Dil Pakistan Jan Jan Pakistan". They asked me where I'm from and I told them I'm from Pakistan. "I was on my Umrah trip along with my family and we met a few Turkish women. I long for the day when I can play Dil Dil Pakistan before my friends without any judgement and stigma."
The lines "Kal toh ussi ka hai, aaj na jo haarein" have sustained me through some very dark times, when my flying career seemed like a distant, impossible dream. His songs will continue to motivate me till I die. May the Almighty bless his beautiful soul. God also wants beautiful creations like Junaid in His presence. He definitely inspired me to get closer to my faith.
In his short life, he did more to inspire spirituality among mortals than any moulana or pastor will ever do. Although I am not a Muslim, I am sure that he was on the right path and God will grant him a special place. In moments of wait, I hum Dair Ho Gayi Laut Aao. I know it was made for the Pakistani Air Force that is supposed to be our "enemy", but good music knows no borders. I often find myself humming the song Aisay Hum Jeeyain as I am doing the takeoff run at over 300kmph. "I am a fan from India and an airline pilot. Who was Junaid Jamshed for you? Send us a few lines of your tribute to JJ or a photo you took on Jeffrey: Spanning over three decades, his career, both musical and religious, moved so many people. Junaid Jamshed was a cultural icon in more ways than one.
