A revered scholar and leader, he unfurled Pakistan’s first flag in Karachi on August 14, 1947, earning Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s profound appreciation. By Jinnah’s will, Usmani led the Quaid’s funeral prayer. He passed away in Bahawalpur in 1949 and rests in Karachi, his legacy enduring in Pakistan’s history.
