Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami central executive council member and Dhaka City North unit’s Ameer Mohammad Selim Uddin and secretary Dr Muhammad Rezaul Karim expressed deep shock and sorrow at the death of Asad-bin-Hafiz, one of the main figures of Bengali literature and a famous religious poet of the 80s, writer, one of the personalities of the Islamic literary and cultural arena and the former director of Saimum artist group.
Late Asad-bin-Hafiz was a legendary, famous, fearless and revolutionary poet. He was a great writer too. He was a pious man. He had unique talent. His uniqueness and creativity were incomparable. He was an organizer, storyteller, composer and publisher. Many of his books, Islamic songs and poems have been helpful in inspiring the new generation in Islamic consciousness and asserting their self-identity. We are deeply saddened by the death of this literary personality who was always smiling, lively, simple, humble and unassuming. The void created by his death in the Islamic literary and cultural movement and the field of ahi-based literature is not easily filled. His works will be remembered forever.
City leaders prayed to the court of Almighty Allah for eternal peace of the departed soul. They also conveyed sympathy to the bereaved family members.
