The prayer meet concluded with a solemn moment of silence, allowing all present to reflect on Ustad Zakir Hussain’s remarkable legacy and the indelible mark he left on the world of music.

In a touching tribute, Ustad Taufiq Qureshi, the brother of the late maestro, said, “Ustad Zakir Hussain will be remembered as one of the most influential and transformative forces in the world of global music. I have had the privilege of witnessing him in many roles—brother, father, friend, guru, mentor, inspiration, motivator, colleague, and even as a divine presence. His legacy will continue to inspire countless musicians and listeners, resonating across all forms of music.”

Ustad Fazal Qureshi, in his poignant speech, said, “Zakir Bhai’s untimely passing has reminded us of life’s unpredictability, leaving us in grief and struggling to come to terms with this immense loss. His influence transcended boundaries, inspiring not only percussionists but also instrumentalists worldwide. Zakir Bhai was a master who seamlessly wove through diverse musical styles—keeping classical music pure, embodying jazz with authenticity, and adapting to various genres with unmatched ease. His personality, music, and global impact touched countless lives, even those who never met him. As we gather to honour his memory, let us pray for his eternal peace and a place of highest grace in God’s kingdom.”

“There was no gap between his thought and creativity. What he felt, simultaneously reflected in his creation” said an emotional Javed Akhtar.

Shri Ashish Shelar minister of information technology and ministry of Culture said I first met Ustad Zakir Hussain with my friend Late Kiran Joglekar. Meeting Zakir bhai has made my life complete. At that time when I net him, I was a corporator. She I touched his feet, he got up and touched my feet. To see God in a mortal, was so humbling, something I have never experience. I have met him multiple times, but his humility always motivated me and I have experienced the magic of his magical fingers.

The event was a fitting and emotional tribute to Ustad Zakir Hussain, a man whose artistry, warmth, and dedication have left an everlasting legacy, one that will continue to inspire musicians and music lovers across the world.
