Senior Pakistani jurist and former Senator Syed Muhammad Zafar, popularly known as SM Zafar, passed away in Lahore on Thursday after a prolonged illness. He was 93.
SM Zafar’s family confirmed on Thursday.
“We are deeply grieved to announce the passing away of S.M. Zafar, beloved husband, father, and grandfather. May his soul be received in light and love by our Rabb. May he be granted the highest place in Jannat,” a statement from the family read.
The funeral prayer of SM Zafar will be offered tomorrow after Asr’s prayer at around 4:30 PM at Jamia Masjid A Block Canal View Society.
SM Zafar announced his decision to retire from the world of politics back in 2018.

In 1975, he was elected as the President of the High Court Bar Association in Lahore.
He co-founded and served as the Chairman of the Human Rights Society of Pakistan in 1976.
