"In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."

With hearts full of submission to the will of Allah, we announce the passing of our beloved Dr. Shamsuddin Rana, MD, on March 4, 2025.

Born on Jan. 6, 1937, Shams-ud-din was a compassionate, charitable, and gentle soul, who embodied altruism, having devoted his days with service and dedication to faith and community.  His efforts in this life brought blessings to others.

Professionally, Shams-ud-din was a Medical Doctor and specialist in Pulmonary Medicine. He completed his Pre-Medical Education at Government College Multan in Punjab, Pakistan and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from Islamia College in Lahore.

Beyond his professional career, Shams-ud-din was a firm believer in education and the advancement of society through learning and community. In his hometown of Chak 20, Shorkot, Pakistan, Shams-ud-din shared his resources to establish a school to educate boys (K-5) and girls (K-10). His commitments to his village's learning echoes the teachings of the Prophet (PBUH), who stated: "Whoever follows a path to seek knowledge therein, God will make easy for him a path to paradise."  (Sahih Muslim 2699)
