#Drowned NYC newlywed couple was ‘shining lights who touched everyone’

The doomed New York City couple who drowned on their honeymoon were supposed to be moving in together Friday — now relatives are set to attend their funeral.

Mohammad Malik and Noor Shah, clearly in love, donned exotic garb and tenderly clasped their hands as a majestic fountain sprayed in the backdrop at their Long Island nuptials, where they beamed for a set of photos just days before the tragic incident in the Turks and Caicos.

“My brother was very deeply in love with her. He was always glowing when he was with her. He was glowing on the day of his wedding,” a crestfallen Ahmad Malik, 25, said. “It was the happiest day of our lives just four days earlier when we celebrated their wedding at The Carltun in Eisenhower Park.”

Malik, 35, was a “humble, bright” Manhattan corporate lawyer with the “big smile” from Chelsea and Shah, 29, was a talented surgical resident at NYU Langone Health who loved concerts, cooking and running from the Lower East Side.

She was supposed to move into his apartment Friday. Instead, their families will bury them Sunday.

The couple, “both shining lights who touched everyone,” shockingly drowned while honeymooning last week in the Caribbean.

Malik and Shah were swimming in chest-deep waters on Oct. 28 near Como Parrot Cay when they were pulled under by strong riptides, said the groom’s father, Maqbool Malik.

Mohammad Malik passed the bar in Texas, California and New York and started his career at BlackRock before working as a corporate lawyer, his proud dad noted.

“My son was a rock star….He rose very fast in his law firm…He was a man with a lot of compassion, he was a very good son, a very good brother and very good friend,” his dad told The Post Saturday.

The couple had tied the knot just four days earlier on Oct. 24.

The devastated families learned of the tragedy on Wednesday.

“I picked up the phone and my wife was crying, ‘My Mohammed, my Mohammed,’ and I realized something really bad had gone on. It was a tremor for my soul, for my body, for my life,” Maqbool Malik said.

Salman Malik, 41, said his younger brother and Noor met through friends and they planned to move into a two-bedroom apartment in Kips Bay.

“It’s a tragedy in every sense of the word. He was a virtuoso, in everything he did…” Salman Malik said, adding Noor, “was everything to him. She was his princess when he got engaged and she became his Queen. Even in this situation with Covid, he found the best place he could possibly travel to with all these restrictions where he could go with his new wife.”

Ahmad Malik agreed: “Noor and Mohammed together were just magnetic and brought happiness to everyone around them. Their energy was infectious and beautiful and they were beautiful and glowing. While we’re sad they’re not with us anymore, we’re glad that they’re together and were together in their final moments.”

Said grieving father Maqbool Malik of his son and daughter-in-law: “They had great chemistry with each other, and loved each other. It was a love story that ended very fast.”

Mohammad was taken by Shah, Ahmad said.

“Very simply, he would say that she was the love of his life.”
