We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. M. Yaqub Mirza who was a great friend and mentor to Idris and I.
We remember most his quiet kindness, sharp intellect and incredible humility, while doing so much for his community.
We hold his family and all who knew him in our thoughts during this difficult time.
“Innā lillāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūn”
“Verily, we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.”
It's with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Dr. M. Yaqub Mirza, a remarkable individual whose life was a true reflection of faith, service, leadership, and compassion.
Dr. Mirza was the beloved husband of our President, Dr. Tanveer Mirza, and a foundational pillar behind the growth and impact of FAITH Social Services. From its earliest days, he played a critical role in helping shape FAITH into the organization it is today, serving families in need with dignity, integrity, and care.
Beyond his leadership and generosity, Dr. Mirza was a mentor and guide to our staff. He gave freely of his time, wisdom, and encouragement, helping nurture both the personal and professional growth of those serving the community through FAITH. His presence brought stability, clarity, and inspiration during pivotal moments in our organization’s journey.
Dr. Mirza was also known for his quiet generosity and unwavering commitment to helping others, supporting countless families, causes, and individuals without ever seeking recognition. His legacy of service will live on in every life touched through his kindness and compassion.
To our friends, donors, and community partners: we thank you for standing with FAITH during this time of loss. Your continued prayers and support mean more than words can express to the Mirza family and to our entire FAITH community.
We humbly ask you to keep Dr. Tanveer Mirza and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
May God grant Dr. Yaqub Mirza the highest place in Jannah (Heaven). Ameen. FAITH Team
