In a heart-wrenching video message, Maulana Yousaf Jamil has disclosed the heartbreaking details surrounding the passing of his younger brother, Asim Jamil, on a fateful Sunday evening. Asim, the son of the renowned Islamic scholar Maulana Tariq Jamil, met a tragic end in their native town of Tulamba in Punjab. The circumstances surrounding his demise have cast a pall of sorrow over their close-knit community, prompting a heartfelt plea for prayers and support from his grieving family.
Asim Jamil’s untimely death was the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his chest, indicating a tragic case of apparent suicide. The news sent shockwaves throughout the region and, in particular, the family of Maulana Tariq Jamil, who is revered as an influential Islamic scholar and spiritual leader.
According to Yousaf Jamil, Asim had been struggling with depression, a silent battle that ultimately led to this devastating conclusion. Asim was under psychiatric care and was receiving treatment for his condition. The family has come forward to clarify that the tragedy was not the result of any external enmity, contrary to some media speculation.
Multan’s Regional Police Officer (RPO), Captain (retd) Sohail Chaudhry, corroborated the circumstances of Asim’s death. He confirmed that CCTV footage showed Asim Jamil taking his own life, ruling out any foul play. The authorities are now sending the footage for forensic analysis to ensure a thorough and conclusive investigation.
Prior to Maulana Yousaf Jamil’s video message, Maulana Tariq Jamil took to a widely accessible platform to announce his son’s passing. His message conveyed the deep sadness that had enveloped the family, and he appealed to the community for their support and prayers during this difficult time.
Maulana Tariq Jamil stated, “My son Asim Jamil passed away today in Tulamba. This accidental death made the atmosphere mournful. We request you all to remember us in your prayers on this sad occasion. May Allah grant my son a high place in Jannat al-Firdous.”
Maulana Tariq Jamil also shared the details of Asim Jamil’s funeral arrangements. The funeral prayer was scheduled to be offered at 7:30 pm on Monday, October 30, in their native village, Raisabad, Tulamba. This somber event would provide family, friends, and well-wishers with an opportunity to pay their last respects to Asim and offer their condolences to the grieving family.
The tragic loss of Asim Jamil serves as a stark reminder of the importance of addressing mental health issues and seeking help when needed. In a society where the stigma surrounding mental health can often prevent individuals from seeking assistance, Asim’s story highlights the urgent need for compassion, understanding, and support for those grappling with mental health challenges. The heartfelt plea from Maulana Tariq Jamil and his family resonates with people around the world, emphasizing the significance of coming together in times of grief and providing the necessary support for those in need.
