Just spoke with Hafiz saab, he said that molana qasim passed away age 49 The cause of death was that while in hijaz (hajj) Molana walked everywhere, and everywhere he went he walked barefooted, this caused him allot of illness's and took its toll on him (breathing problems). Many people thought he would pass away there but he got better and returned to india. While in india (after about 1 year) the illness comeback which lead to hadrat molana falling unconscious on tuesday after zohr, he then passed away on thursday after zohr. Hafiz saab told me much more info which i will email you (if the mods can pass me bro qiblas email or pass mine to bro qibla)
