+==Brief Profile==
 If you ever had the pleasure of seeing him, in his office, at the mosque or at home, you would be moved by his pleasant demeanor, unassuming countenance and soft voice.
-Marhum Habib bhai was of those who were seen but not heard yet when he did speak, his words were gentle, full of wisdom from experience, he would answer to the point never going into vain matters or use superfluous words.
+In his youth, Marhum was a keen sportsman having played a number of sports both in Dar es Salaam as well as Mombasa. Marhum was also known to recite marthiyas in the early days of Marhum Mohammed bhai Bishon's and whose efforts to create a group which today has morphed into the Anjuman-e-Sakina group in Mombasa. As the fourth Imam (AS) eloquently said, if you see any good in yourself know it is from your father as he is your root. In this light, Marhum is best symbolized by his son Riyaz who plays very active roles in the community affairs from the school, club, madrassa to the religious affairs of the community all under the encouragement of his late father. To add to this, the grand children of Marhum also have moved on to assume important roles in furthering the religion as taught by Ahlulbayt (AS) having settled far from home in Australia.
-Born on 29th June 1929 and brought up in Mombasa his birth place, Marhum's ties through marriage were strong with Dar-es-Salaam which at one point became his second home. A short stint in Uganda and then his final years in Mombasa, Marhum was always concerned about the community wellbeing and affairs but never sought position to serve the community rather preferring to guide from the wings and give advice on the quiet.

+Marhum was courteous and received with respect all, young and old, lent a kind ear and never judged anyone as many are want to do. His wish to stay fit saw Marhum take to walking at the Mombasa Jaffery Sports Club which in turn encouraged others who had retired or were advancing in age to emulate him and from this singular act, a regular group formed which today is known as the senior citizens of Mombasa. This group has gone further to arranging outings, social events and remembering key figures and events and hosting various dignitaries and religious figures over the years at Jaffery Islamic Centre (JIC - previously Jaffery Sports Club).
-It is not wealth or boisterous behavior that brings lasting change or encourages good, it is the silent guidance born of wisdom with action and less words that ultimately has a lasting effect.
