Janab Syed Hamid Hussain is no more. Inna lillahi va inna ilaihi rajiwoon. 
He passed away in the wee hours of Friday morning in Bangalore after a brief illness. 

Janab Hamid Hussain Sahib (60) was suffering from cardiac complications and had been admitted to Acura Nursing Home in Bangalore three days ago. He is believed to have suffered multiple cardiac arrests and was also a diabetic. 


Hamid Sahib is a native of Sindhanoor in Raichur district and has been an active worker of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind since his college days. An MA graduate, Hamid Sahib also served as the first secretary of Students Islamic Organisation of India in Karnataka in 1982 and subsequently joined Jamaat and served it in various capacities.

He has been functioning as a state office bearer of the Jamaat since 1988. Except for a brief period, when he was the Muavin Ameer-e-Halqa, Hamid Sahib has served as the secretary of the Karnataka and Goa division of the JIH during the tenure of Maulana Mahmood  Ahmed Khan, Maulana Iqbal Mulla, Marhoom Ibrahim Sayeed Sahib and the present incumbent Br Abdullah Javed.

He has alwas been soft-spoken, dedicated and low-profile activist of the organization and had also attended the All India conference of Jamaat members in Delhi last month.
He had also visited Mangalore just a week ago on some organizational work. He is survived by wife, three sons and two daughters.  

A galaxy of Jamaat leaders, including Abdullah Javed Sahib have grieved his death and expressed condolences to his family.
I first met him in 1990 in JIH Karnataka state office. Since then I have met him seven or eight times on various occasions. Each and every time he used to hug me wholeheartedly and show his affection. He was from the first generation of the Tahreek. He is very very soft spoken.  I met him in Delhi Ijtema-e-arkan in Delhi. We stayed in New Markaz Building and Janab M P Basheer Ahmed Sahib was incharge of it. And the gentle, gentle and very gentle Syed Hamid Hussain Sahib was assisting him. His smiling face still lingers in my mind. May Allah shower His blessings upon him and bestow him a place in Jannah.
