Poet Al Mahmud passes away; Jamaat Ameer condoles

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami’s Ameer Maqbul Ahmad has issued the following message of condolence on 16 February 2019 at the death of legendary poet of Bengali literature, one of the majestic maestros of our literature Al Mahmud.

“We are deeply shocked and saddened at the death of Poet Al Mahmud, the greatest poet of Bengali literature. We are feeling such pain as we have lost of our dearest one. The nation is entirely shocked at his death.

Huge vacuum has been created due to his demise which will not be fulfilled easily. He was an exquisite, honest and patriotic poet, who firmly believed in Islamic values and Bangladeshi nationalism. He was the prime vocal against all sorts of cultural aggression. He has enriched the nation, mostly the Bengali literature by his precious writings. Along with the modern Bengali poetries, he also wrote stories, columns, articles and children’s literature. Poet Al Mahmud was a powerful author of Bengali literature. He has enlightened himself by promoting his own styles and literary techniques. The nation will remember him always for his glorious contributions.

I am praying for him. May Allah accept all his noble deeds to bless him with Jannah. I am extending deep sympathy to his mournful families, fans and followers, and accomplices. May Allah bless them with patience to endure this painful loss.
