HAZRAT N. SYED UMAR, A SAINT WHO DEDICATED HIS LIFE FOR THE PEOPLE

BANGALORE: The death of Hazrat N.Syed Umar on 1-1-2012(Sunday) is a serious loss to humanity. He was a true example of universal love and compassion. Many refer to him as a saint and a messiah of the poor. He was the founder of many residential layouts such as Umar Bagh Layout, Ilyasnagar, Fayazabad, Minhajnagar, JHBCS Layout, Sharada Nagar to name a few. He was also the founder of Al-Khateeb Teachers Training College and Polytechnic, President of Magnifique Group of Educational Institutions, Government schools, President of Anjuman-E-Islamia Banashankari and many mosques, and other religious and charitable institutions. 

He worked as the under secretary to the government in Vidhana Soudha but his real call was to serve the people. He voluntarily took retirement from his government service and served people till his last breath.

His mission was not to make money but to provide housing to the needy and uplift the economic conditions of the poor. “We have lost a saint, only one person like Umar Sab is born in a generation,” cried Ramchandra a vegetable vendor. “I was penniless and owning a house was a distant dream, Umar sab gave me a site for only Rs 3,000 and I took over ten years to pay the amount for which he never asked.” Police constable Venkatappa was inconsolable. Thousands of  people participated in the funeral prayers held in the Anjuman-E-Islamia Idgah near Banashankari and he was laid to rest in the Muslim burial ground, Banashankari.

Author, Educationist and Environmentalist US Moinuddin who was present during the performance said, “Firdose is a role model to the thousands of people who either blame their destiny, ill-health or circumstances for not doing things in life. If a person wants to follow their passion or want to achieve incredible feats in life, they can do it irrespective of the deterrents that crop up during the journey.”

Firdose’s mother Yasmeen has dedicated her life for her daughter, encouraging her in every possible way. “Firdose is incredible in grasping things, you teach her once and she does it.” Yasmeen said.
