Former Chairman of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman wages a critical fight against Dengue in the ICU!
The week brought in some really disturbing news: Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman, an immensely revered religious scholar and former Chairman of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, has contracted a severe dengue infection and is fighting for his life in the intensive care ward. It has driven anxiety across religious divides and for millions who place value on his wisdom, scholarship, and decades of service to the nation.
A Sudden Decline: The Disease Worsens
Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman was admitted to a private hospital in Bahadurabad two days ago due to deteriorating health, according to Naib Mufti Abdul Razzaq Naqshbandi. Initial treatment followed the standard dengue care and monitoring, but in a matter of hours, his condition deteriorated. Specialists moved him to the Intensive Care Unit for constant observation.
Dengue is usually considered a seasonal disease, but it may turn fatal when the platelet count dips continuously, a threat Mufti Muneeb is under. The confirmation about this comes from sources within his family as well, with them stating that the medical team has been widened by including senior physicians to look into various protocols for stabilizing the vitals and complications related to the disease.
Inside the ICU: A Battle Backed by Expertise and Hope
Until now, the hospital administration has not provided many details due to privacy concerns for Mufti Muneeb, but it is learned from insiders that he is being treated by a team of experts in infectious diseases, hematologists, and critical care physicians. These work on maintaining platelet levels, fluid balancing, and avoiding organ-related complications-all major milestones in dengue recovery.
Though the outlook remains delicate, doctors remain hopeful. They’ve asked the public to avoid speculation and to rely on official updates only.
Nationwide Concern: Leaders, Scholars, and Followers Respond
News of his frailty has drawn concern from across the country, as religious leaders, scholars, and students have been sending in messages of shock and sorrow, underlining Mufti Muneeb’s long-standing contributions-from spiritual guidance and educational leadership to his pivotal role in moon-sighting decisions for nearly twenty years.
Social media is filled with prayers and requests for remembrance in supplication. Many city mosques announce special prayers for his speedy recovery.
Why This Disease Feels Personal for Many Pakistanis
Mufti Muneebur Rehman is more than a scholar to many; he is a trusted, familiar figure whose calm presence and clear explanations have shaped many religious practices in this country. His illness resonates on an emotional level, reflecting the deep respect commanded by him throughout the country.
The situation also underscores the continuous threat that dengue poses in Pakistan, reminding everyone of the need for vigilance, early diagnosis, and preventive action.
A Call for Hope and Prayers
And in this critical moment, people from both communities and the public are sending a common message: prayers for Mufti Muneeb recovery. His family and colleagues urge the nation to continue praying while expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support. And so, the whole country is anxiously waiting for the good news, but one thing echoes in everyone’s heart: that Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman will come out victoriously from this critical fight.
