Shumaila Imran Farooq to Be Buried in Karachi Tomorrow: Funeral Details and Timings Announced

Shumaila Imran Farooq, widow of the late MQM leader Dr. Imran Farooq, will be laid to rest in Karachi on December 27, 2025. After her long battle with throat cancer in London, her sons have arrived to fulfill her final wish: burial beside her father in their homeland.

The family of Shumaila Imran Farooq confirms her remains will arrive at Karachi airport early Saturday morning. A technical delay at Istanbul Airport pushed the repatriation schedule to December 27. Her two sons reached Karachi from London today to oversee the funeral arrangements.

Dr. Imran Farooq wife death occurred on December 19 after a prolonged illness at a London hospital. She struggled with throat cancer for years, which often left her unable to speak. Despite these health challenges, her legacy as a former Member of the Sindh Assembly remains a significant part of MQM’s political history.

Funeral Timing and Burial Details

The funeral prayer for Shumaila Imran Farooq will take place at Rehmania Mosque on Tariq Road. The service follows Dhuhr prayers on Saturday. Following the prayers, the family will move to the Society Graveyard for the burial. This site marks her final resting place next to her father’s grave.

The MQM leadership, including Dr. Farooq Sattar, is coordinating the arrival and logistics. Political figures across Pakistan have sent condolences, noting her resilience since the 2010 assassination of her husband in London.

The repatriation of Imran Farooq wife fulfills her last request to return to Pakistan. Her journey from a dedicated political worker to a resilient widow has touched many. Community members in London already held an initial funeral at Regent’s Park Mosque before the flight to Karachi.
