Dr. Mousuf is in all likelihood one of the first Muslims to be buried in Metro Toronto. He died years before there was a substantial Muslim population. In those days there were a number of Muslim students attending University of Toronto and doctors in residency programmes at local hospitals. His grave is located on the west section of Mount Pleasant Cemetary (the section located between Mount Pleasant Road in the east and Yonge Street on the west) near the fence on Mount Pleasant Road.

Dr. Mousuf was born in Bihar State, India. He was an Earth Scientist (geophysics) by profession. His headstone states 'in loving memory', he likely left behind close family members (wife and children).
