Renowned Islamic scholar, poet and historian, Allama Talib Jauhari passed away at the age of 81 in a hospital in Karachi. His death was confirmed by his son Riaz Jauhari. He was in the intensive care unit for a while and was suffering from a cardiovascular disease and had been kept on a ventilator.
Born in 1938, he was not only a scholar but also an eminent poet, philosopher and historian. He has also served as a teacher of the Islamic Studies at the Government College Nazimabad, Karachi for five years. He learnt Islamic theology for ten years in Najaf under the guidance of Ayatullah-al-Uzma Sayyid Abu al-Qasim al-Khoei. He wrote several books, including a detailed commentary on the Quran. “His book “Hadees – e – Karbla” is one of the few “Maqtal” written in Urdu and has been considered as one of the most well compiled source to the traditions related to the Event of Karbala” according to his website.
Prime Minister Imran Khan also expressed his sorrow over the demise of the Allama Talib Jauhari. Many noted personalities also tweeted about him. Twitter also out poured with loved and sadness when the news arrived.
With deep sorrow when I heard demise of #AllamaTalibJohri at Karachi. His scholastic work and speeches about Islam and Karbala will remain asset for upcoming generation. I pray Allah SWT to place him jannah and give enough courage to family member to bear this great loss

علامہ طالب جوہری جیسے صدیوں میں پیدا ہوتے ہیں! اک علم کا ذخیرہ ہم سے جدا ہو گیا اور دنیا اک بہترین مفسرِ قرآن سے محروم ہو گئ!

The house offered fateha for two Pakistani soldiers martyred in Waziristan & the departed souls of Mufti Naeem and Allama Talib Jauhari as well as those who died of coronavirus.

Today in the heavens will be Allama Talib Johri's first majlis. Ustaad Piyare Khan would start with "kya Hussain hai" followed by Ustaad Sibt e Jaffar's marsiya.
After Allama sahab's lecture, Lalu Shah will lead the matmi circle as Sachay bhai recites "Ameer e Lashkar e Hussain"— عباس (@abbas_abidii) June 22, 2020
