CHITRAL: Professor Siraj Muhammad, Principal of Government Degree College Chitral, who passed away after a brief illness on Sunday night in a hospital in Peshawar, was laid to rest at his ancestral graveyard in Muldeh locality of Chitral town on Monday.
His funeral prayer was offered after Maghrib prayers at Jinali Ground in a deeply somber and emotionally charged atmosphere, according to the GDC. Every eye was filled with tears and every heart weighed down by grief, reflecting the profound sense of loss felt across the community. A large gathering of citizens, students, teachers, colleagues and well-wishers attended the funeral.
His passing has created a significant void in the academic, social and intellectual circles of Chitral, where he was widely known as a humble, dignified and kind-hearted educationist.
A man who devoted his entire life to the noble mission of education. Throughout his career, Professor Siraj rendered invaluable services in the field of education, shaping the lives of countless students.
Prof. Siraj Muhammad generously imparted knowledge in most comprehensive manner at a time when there was acute shortage of teaching faculty at GDC Chitral. I would attend Science Group class assigned with Siraj Sir marking my attendance in Arts group. May Allah Almighty grant our loving teacher highest rank in Jannah, Ameen.
Professor Siraj untime departures is a sad and irreparable national loss. He was committed and competent teacher and played a vital role in promoting higher education in Chitral. He had been a lovely colleague of mine in GD Langland School and College Chitral in 1987-98. May Allah grant him highest place in Janate Firdaus and give courage to bereaved family to bear this irreparable loss. Ameen
