367 Professor Salam's Last Message March 13, 1996 TO: Mr۔Mumtaz Hussain Shah, Karachi Your telegram of February 24, 1996 has been forwarded to me۔I am grateful to know that you are organizing my birthday in Pakistan۔I have received so many get-well cards from Pakistan that it has touched my heart۔I am immensely blessed to have so many people who deeply care for me۔I understand the meeting is to be held on March 8, 1996, I will ask you firstly to pass my salam and best wishes to all the assembled broiners and sisters۔Please continue to pray for me as I continue to pray for you because without the power of prayer we are nothing۔As you all know I am suffering from a rare illness which is known as PSP۔This is a disease, which essentially leaves the brain functioning perfectly but slowly destroys bodies physical responses۔This disease has prevented me from visiting my beloved Pakistan۔I miss my home country and would dearly love to see all my family and friends۔I would be with you today but please know you are in my heart and shall be thinking of you today۔I would be grateful for a video of the proceedings۔Pakistan needs you; I have tried to show to its aspiring people what a Pakistani can achieve۔You as a scholar must continue to aspire and drive the future Pakistani generations to greater heights۔One of the saddest moments for me comes when I receive letters from parents asking me to write a few words of encouragement to their children۔Parents complain of their low morale۔That must not be allowed۔It must be the role of each and every one of you to provide role model for all its citizens۔We as the older generation failed to build the ideas and opportunities the country needs۔We must put our differences and private agendas behind us and we must build a better Pakistan۔
