“Sheikh Sajid Mehmood sahib possessed a number of qualities. He had an immense love for Khilafat and therefore maintained a strong bond with it. He always advised his children to keep connected to Jamaat and the institution of Khilafat. He was always very active in paying Chanda and was always concerned about paying them on time and therefore instructed his son to do the same. He was very sincere and honest in his business dealings and would always pardon and show compassion towards his siblings and never resent with anyone. He was very exquisite and was an embodiment of pure thoughts. He would treat his relatives with the utmost respect. He had named two of his shops after his father and his father in law. He showed exemplary treatment to his wife’s family and would meet his family and friends with a pure heart. He did not have malignity towards anyone.“
