Popular singer-turned-evangelist Junaid Jamshed and his family were on the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight PH-661 which crashed Wednesday and are the casualties.

Jamshed was in Chitral for a Tableeghi mission and was returning to Islamabad when the aircraft crashed.

He was also scheduled to deliver the Friday sermon at the Parliament mosque.

Jamshed was a prominent member of Pakistan's Tableeghi Jamaat, a global Islamic revivalist movement urging Muslims to return to Sunni Islam.

Following are some of the thoughts he shared on his Twitter profile:

On faith

On earning respect

On inspiring action

On charity

On change

On relationships

On gaining popularity

On self-discipline
