Junaid Jamshed was a renowned Pakistani celebrity who rose to fame through his pop music. Later, he left music and continued his journey as a naat khuwan and Islamic preacher. He was also a very successful businessman. Junaid Jamshed passed away in a tragic plane crash in December 2016, leaving behind his widow, three sons — Taimoor, Babar, and Saifullah — and a daughter.
Recently, his youngest son, Saifullah Junaid Jamshed, appeared in Geo TV’s podcast hosted by Mubashir Hashmi, where he shared fond memories of his father.
When asked about hearing the news of Junaid Jamshed’s plane crash, Saifullah shared, “For the last six to eight months, our father had been telling our mother, ‘Ayesha, you’ll be upset, but I want shahadat (martyrdom).’ It was his constant prayer for months, and it seems Allah granted him what he wished for. We were completely unaware of what had happened at first. People began visiting us, and it didn’t even feel real because we hadn’t seen him ill — he was happy and normal. I still remember him just like that.”

Recalling his father’s last advice, Saifullah said, “What I remember most is his last advice to me. He said, ‘I don’t want anything from you — not good grades, or achievements and success in business — but I want you to rise in Deen.’”

While remembering his father’s sweetest memories, Saifullah said, “There’s an interesting incident about him which my mother shared with mr. Once, when I was a toddler, he showed me a picture from his music time and asked who the person in the photo was. I replied, ‘That’s uncle.’ He was so happy to see that I couldn’t recognize his younger self — he realized I knew him only through his transformation.”

Speaking about their family’s most memorable trip, he said,
“The best memory I have with him is our family’s Hajj journey in 2016 just before his death. We were all together and even stayed in the same room. We had such a fulfilling and beautiful family time with him. I still cherish that as our best time.”
