With a heavy heart, we are sad to announce the demise of Respected Sister Halima Sadia Qureshi Sahiba who passed away this morning in her home on Friday, December 1 at the age of 89 years.

Hers was the first marriage held in Rabwah, Pakistan, in 1948, and was attended by Khalifatul Masih II. She was the wife of the Late Muhammad Abid Adil and the Late Maqbool Ahmad Qureshi who was serving as a missionary in USA.
