Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilayhi Raji’un

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the passing of our most respected senior colleague and cherished member of the Board of Directors of Grameen Trust, Mr. M. Shahjahan, who left this world a few hours ago in Toronto, Canada.

Mr. Shahjahan was not only a guiding force for Grameen Trust but also a source of wisdom, integrity, and inspiration for all who had the privilege of working alongside him. His absence leaves a profound void in our organization and in the hearts of all who knew him.

We extend our deepest condolences to his bereaved family and loved ones. May Almighty Allah, in His infinite mercy, grant him the highest place in Jannatul Ferdous and bless his family with patience, courage, and strength to bear this irreparable loss.

His legacy will remain with us always
