He called his mother over from China to Pakistan and cared for her.” She says those times were difficult and they could only afford one bottle of milk in a day, yet, he would give that bottle to his mother. Whenever he went on a journey, he took his mother along with him. Chini Sahib served his mother very well. She says, “His life was defined by his devotion to his work. When he was in good health, he would work until late in his office and sometimes work through the night until the morning. At home he was most concerned about bringing up his children in a righteous manner. He was very simple in his choice of food and clothing.”

His elder daughter, Dr. Qurratul-Ain writes: “It is difficult for me to describe my father’s attributes in words. He was kind, loving, hardworking, tireless, humble and an optimistic person.

He would wake us up for prayers by sprinkling water over us. He would sit with us for hours answering our questions patiently and would not be annoyed by small matters.” This is an example for all parents.

His son, Dr Daud Sahib writes, “When I was young and would visit my father’s office, if I ever tried to use a pen or pencil from my father’s office, he would not allow me to do so. He would say to my mother, ‘buy him his own pen as he is in need of one.’ If we ever had to do some photocopying, he would instruct us to bring the paper from home and only then use the photocopy machine. He further says, “He used to instruct us to learn the attributes of God; and that we should memorise all the names of God that reflect His attributes. He wrote a poem in the Chinese language venerating all hundred attributes of God. He used to recite this poem every night. He also set a competition between us siblings about who memorised the most attributes of God and would give a prize for that.”
