His funeral prayers were offered by his son and successor Khalil Ahmed, which was attended by millions of people from across the country, and was buried next to his mentor Maulana Abdullah Ludhianvi in the Khanqah Sarajia cemetery.[1] The funeral was attended by many scholars like Maulana Fazlur Rehman, then Federal Minister Atta-ur-Rehman, Ubaidur Rahman Zia, Muhammad Taqi Usmani, Saleemullah Khan, Abdur Razzaq Iskander, Abdul Ghafoor Haideri and Muhammad Rafi Usmani, Maulana Amjad Khan, Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, Muhammad Hanif Jalandhari, Gul Naseeb Khan and Qari Fayyaz-ur-Rahman Alvi.
