Jamshed, renowned pop singer-turned-evangelist, died on December 7 in a plane crash, leaving behind a nation in mourning.

Soon after the news of his demise, videos of his last sermon and Azan began making rounds on social media. Speaking to The Express Tribune, Tariq Wani, a close associate of popular tableeghi preacher Maulana Tariq Jamil, said, “Junaid Jamshed had formed a Masturaat Jamaat (a preaching group of women and their spouses) from Tableeghi Markaz in Raiwind to travel to Chitral for 10 days.”


A video of his last sermon was shared on Facebook, in which he says, "Doston, yeh duniya thoray din ka maamla hai. (Friends, this life is a matter of a few days."


Another video of supposedly his last naat in Chitral was also widely shared on social media; however, whether or not it is from his recent trip cannot be confirmed.


In June this year, Jamshed recited a special prayer for qawwali maestro Amjad Sabri, who was shot dead, on national television.
