haji mohammed afzal. 18 november, 1931 - 19 july, 2004
my father died today sometime in the afternoon. i found out from mum when i phoned her at the end of the day
his wife is taking the body to pakistan probably tomorow. we were going to see him this weekend but i'm told that for the last few weeks he wasn't able to speak or to recognise anyone
when we were young he'd make us sit and listen to him reading the quran and he would tell us that it said that the purpose of humanity was to study the universe until we uncovered the face of god. the last time i saw him i told him that the last chapter of book 4 of the nature of order was entitled 'The Face of God' and i was going to take up the book this time to show him and get him to sign it
