We should respect his decision to quit singing hence shouldn't listen to his songs my personal opinion.

Lets make this count to at least 10 by adding ...... 'Do Pal ka; yeh jeevan hai' https://goo.gl/wACbJ2 please...

@Wasi i agree. We should not discuss what He may not wanted us to discuss.

RIP JJ. May Almighty bless you Jannah. Would advise to Add ' Mehdi ki raat ayi song without which still today marriage occasions are incomplete.

@Wasi So if he had quit from Tableeghi Jamat (became disillusioned from them) and simply focused on his business, would you say the same thing: We should respect his decision to quit tableeghi jamaat hence shouldn't listen to his bayan. Not trying to debate, just trying to understand how this works...

@m@k I was thinking about it on my way to work this morning.

Well you missed some of the following gems: - Yeh Shaam - Mera dil tu hay Musafir - Tum door thay tou kya hua - Maula - Naraz Tum Naraz Hum

How sad! People want to only remember him from his singing and dancing days, Not for his philanthropy, charitable work, or preaching, AFTER he had discarded his partying days and reformed himself into a pious religious figure, living a simple life?? That's a reflection of the shallow and superficial decadent society he was perhaps trying to change after his own awakening!?

His best and most underrated songs: - yeh shaam - hum tum

@Wasi i agree 100%

when I listen this sad news I really shocked, I really lost part of college life. I still listening Junaid Bhai songs till I am on age of 50. and also his Beautiful Naats.

To me 'mein chup raha' from album 'Hum Tum' was his best.

My personal favorite is 'Maula'

@Wasi I also agreeeeeeeeeee

Ye Shaam has got to make the list. Its a classic.

...... His voice was gifted. Why not share of list of Nasheeds (Naats/Hamd) also, a music to ears of many.

@Wasi not even dil dil pakistan!? what is wrong with you!?

@Zain Hasan I agree with you. Singing was a phase in his life and we loved it.

@Muhammadi Well said

To all that say that we shouldnt talk about his music, it was actually his music that made him famous. He was a famous preacher only because we knew him as Junaid Jamshed from Vital Signs. His preaching would attracted people from all walks of life precisely because they have listened to Dil Dil Pakistan. Ignoring that big part of his life would be unfair. It would be like not mentioning Imran Khan's 1992 World Cup victory and his cricketing days because he is now in politics.

Why you are not putting his Islamic songs????

Could add plenty more to the list. I have been listening to "Uss Rah Par" nonstop over past two days. Respecting someone's decision has nothing to do with the way you want to remember them. If you want to remember JJ the preacher - please do. And if someone wants to remember JJ the singer - let them, it's their personal choice. @Zain Hasan You nailed it!

Where is 'Yeh Shaam' and "Tumhara or Mera Naam"?

Yeh Shaam Phir Nahi Ayegee. Listen carefully the music in that song. Amazing work by such young boys back then.

For me, Aitebar is not his best song, not Pakistan’s best song, it is the best song in the whole world.

He gave up music for a reason, we should respect that. Instead, we should try and do the good things that he he was so committed to such as helping the poor, showing respect for all people, being humble, fearing God, empathy, humanity, etc.

How could you forget yeh shaam? That song was breathtaking.

It disappoints me that media is remembering JJ by the one thing that he wanted to forget most and move on. I hope the media will promote the better side of him, the wonderful things he did in life, and many more things that he wanted to do. The success of Dil, Dil Pakistan can never come close to Dil, Dil Insan - the life that he lived. He came to Portland a couple of years back for a fundraiser. He won the respect, hearts and minds of the people and left a long lasting impression. Many young American Muslims, mostly of Pakistani origin, were left speechless as they went over to hug and admire him. We all remember the Maghrib prayers that he led. And no, we are not Mullas or conservatives, Portland is know to be a very liberal city and we will not forget this servant of God for a very, very long time. We are grateful and thankful for his visit to our city know as The City of Roses. The fragrance of care and empathy that he brought, still lives with us. May he rest in peace, amen.

@Skeptic people remember him for what he meant to them and most people cherish him because of his songs!

Beautiful songs! So many lovely memories associated with them. May God grant him eternal paradise. Aameen.

@Wasi I agree

@Muhammad Amir ,I agree

the last thing he wanted that people refrain from remembering him as a pop singer,I think we should respect his wish and just wish him all the best wishes for his eternal journey.

@Zain Hasan

@Wasi it should be a personal decision. But I don't recall if at any time after quitting music did JJ ask his followers to stop listening to his VS music.

JJ was always been an icon, as a singer or as a religious naat khawan, business man, social worker, hats off to him for his achievements in his life.

@m@k absolutely true..without that song list is incomplete.

My personal best Maula & Ankhon ko Ankhon Ne....I also used to listen one beautiful Naat recited by him "Tamanna e Dil"

Mein Chup Raha from the brilliant album 'Hum Tum' is by far the best song of VS. Junaid Jamshed's haunting vocals were out of this world.

He reflected on his journey to religion very fondly, but never regretted his past singing career, and never asked to shut this chapter, or disowned his fans. Let everyone remember JJ they way they loved, liked and wish to be his last image. No judgement or opinion necessary, this is theway we all remember our loved ones. He was part of a family in 90's, and I am the one who grown up with impatient waiting for his new albums.

Ultimate collection! I still love the song named Aitbaar and love to sing it too.

some more gold (1) Yaad karna (2) Aitebar (unplugged) (3) tum durr thee (4) ankhoun ko ankhoun ne (5) yeh sham phir nahein aaye gi (6) Tum kehte ho to pyar hi ho ga (7)Tumhara aur mera naam (8)hem hein pakistani hum to jeetein ge and loads n loads of more .... oh JJ i miss you

@Wasi He got popularity from singing. Let us acknowledge it and his talent

Leaders never die but they are always alive in hearts forever and junaid bro is one of them

It is sad to read this article because JJ left this life and didn't wanted to be associated with it. The media is playing a bad role in remembering a very good man.
