Haji Abdab's (Rahmat ullah Alahe) funeral prayer was attended by devotees, ulama e karam, members of TJ council and people belonging to all walks of life. Haji Abdul Wahab had been admitted to Doctor's Hospital for the past few days after being afflicted with dengue. He also suffered asthma and was put on life support. Prime Minister Imran Khan expressed grief and sorrow over Haji Abdul Wahab's demise.

Leading political leaders of all the parties offered their condolences to the grieved family and acknowledged amir's contribution towards the preaching and spreading of Islam's message. They recalled that the TJ leader devoted his whole life for preaching of Islam's message of peace and had proved through his conduct that sentiments of peace and love can bring lasting changes in the mindset and character of a person. Haji Abdul Wahab was born in the subarban area of Dehi, India, in January 1923. He graduated from Islamia College, Lahore, and joined the civil service as a Tehsildar in pre-partition, India. He also remained affiliated with Majlis e Ahrar e Islam in his youth. After being inspired by the oration of Maulana Ilyas Kandhalvi. the founder of Tableeghi Jamaat.Haji Abdul Wahab went on to become an Islamic preacher after joining the jamaat in 1944 and decided to spend his whole life in religious preaching and remained with Maulana Ilyas till his death. He migrated to Pakistan after 1947 along with a few other companions and founded Madrassa Arabia near Raiwind railway junction. He also left his job later to ensure his active participation in the Tableeghi Jamaat. Haji Abdul Wahab was stated to be a direct companion of Maulana Ilyas and one of the five people who rendered their entire life for Tableeghi Jamaat following creation of Pakistan. Haji Wahab succeeded Haji Muhammad Bashir as the Ameer of Tableeghi Jaamat. in 1992. He remained the head of Shura (Council) as well as a member of the movement's Aalmi Shura (World Council) based in Delhi, India. Due to a large number if the people attending funeral prayer, PIA had to arrange special flight from Karachi to Lahore. The first gathering of Tableeghi Jamaat under the leadership of its founder Maulana Ilyas Sahib was held in India in 1941 in which 25,000 people participated. Till partition the preaching work remained limited to India but when Pakistan came into being the Tableeghi work progressed by leaps and bounds and it spread in the whole world. The preaching work is being done in nearly 200 countr. According to some estimates 80 to 100 million people are involved in the preaching of Islam in the world. The largest congregation of Jamaat is held in Bangladesh every year, while Annual Ijtema is also held at Raiwind Theevery year, in which million of people participate. This is the Jamaat which never involves in politics and keeps away from it and works purely for preaching Islam, due to their sincere work million of people in the world have converted to Islam. The preaching work is based on six principals--- including Kalma (which is the base of Islam to acknowledge the Oneness of Allah and admitting no one is equal to him- NO shareek and to acknowlege Muhammad (PBUH) is his prophet, second principal is prayer, Dikar of Allah and knowledge, Ikram e Muslim, Respect of Muslims, sincerity of intention and preaching and invitation to Islam. The basic purpose of the tehreek Tableegh is that all the Muslims of the world should pass their lives hundred percent according to the orders of Allah and following the Sunna of Great Prophet Muhammad Mustafa Ahmad e Mujtaba (PBUH). Tableeghi Jammaat has fixed a course to make the common person understand the work of Tableegh, According to this course and the newcomer familair with Tableegh one has to spend three days initially with the Jamaat and similarly 40 days, 4 months and for one year people work in the foreign countries or within the countries for preaching. Though Tableeghi Jamaat is of Sunni faith but people from other faith amd maslak are also in the Jamaat. Tableeghi Jamaat is the only group that has people from all walks of life like high ranking officers from forces, doctors, professors of educational instituitions, beuracrates. and young people of the universities. Many atists, former singers and several crickets stars arealso in the jamaat. Saeed Anwar, Muhammad Yousuf and Inzama mul Haq are regularly working in Tableeghi Jamaat. This is the only Jamaat that demands nothing from the people but begs for some time to be spent in Tableegh. It is free of politics and sectarian issues. This is the only Jammat that I consider is on right path among the 72 groups to be created near the day of judgement May Allah Bless his Full Blessings on these Rightful persons Ameen
