May Allah continue to bless Uncle Malik, forgive his sins and increase his ranks in the akhiraa.

It has been more than three years and there are still times when I fondly recall mamojan's memory. He was alway there for Humayun and I while we were studying in USA. Remember the delicious food, freshly made bread made by Shamuna mamijan, steak outs and many more activities we used to have together. He had a great relationship with my father and my mother (his sister). Insha'Allah we will all meet again.

We miss you Rashid Bhai. You were a great friend. May God bless you and keep you in his grace.

We dearly miss Uncle Malik. May Allah increase his darajaat in the hereafter and make his life in grave easy.

We shared a common culture, spoke the same languages, knew the same jokes. This friendshiip began in the mid 1960s when we both came to Tallahassee to teach at Florida State University.

Though in his later years he had difficulty with his memory, visits from Talha brought him so much joy. With a smile reaching ear...

There is no words enough to condone such a precious loss. 1988 I met Malik Shahab first time in FSU campus and I was amazed by his sophisticated personality immediately. Since then our families remain very close friends and even closer when Malik Shahab and Shamona became our son's god parents. Company of Malik Shahab has been always amazing. He was a man with impressive depth of knowledge on various subject. I always learned something from him....

Dr. Malik was a very kind and intelligent man. As he and his wife, Shamuna, were clients of my CPA firm for many years, I always enjoyed listening to him and sharing our many common thoughts and opinions about the world and our various cultures. Richard Law, CPA, Tallahassee Florida

Uncle Rashid Malik was always a jolly person with a sense of humor. Our family has nearly 40 years of relations with Uncle Rashid Malik and Aunty Shamuna. Uncle Rashid Malik was always so loving and engaging. Despite his tremendous seniority he never acted in a dominating way. He was always affectionate, lively and gentle during after meal discussions in community events. Uncle Rashid Malik was a passionate classical and folk music lover. He always shared his observations and life experiences...
