Abstract
It is with deep sadness that I write about the passing of Dr. M. Yaqub Mirza, who was also my father. Dr. Mirza was so many things such as a businessman, philanthropist, institutionalist, mentor, educator, intellectual and sage. He contributed to various sectors from business to finance to non-profits. Nonetheless, this obituary will focus on his contributions to education, institutional development and Islamic studies.
