His Doors Were Always Open

The kindness he showed to the elderly, the patience he had with children, and the respect he gave to everyone regardless of their background truly embodied the prophetic character he taught others to do.

With profound sadness and heavy hearts, Alaaka Association extend our deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved father and our respected Imam. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

Imam’s dedication to spreading the beautiful message of Islam touched countless lives in community. His wisdom, compassion, and unwavering faith served as a beacon of light for all who knew him. The mosque was not just a place of worship under his guidance, but a sanctuary where everyone felt welcomed and understood.

His doors were always open to anyone seeking guidance, and his sermons brought the teachings of the Holy Quran to life in ways that touched people’s hearts and enlightened their minds. His beautiful recitation of the Quran moved souls, and his explanation of Allah's words brought clarity and peace to people’s hearts.

The kindness he showed to the elderly, the patience he had with children, and the respect he gave to everyone regardless of their background truly embodied the prophetic character he taught others to do. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he transformed through his teachings and example.

May Allah grant him the highest ranks of Jannatul Firdaus, illuminate his grave, and reunite him with his loved ones in Paradise. May Allah give your family strength and sabr during this difficult time, and may you find comfort in knowing that Imam’s good deeds continue to benefit him through the knowledge he imparted and the lives he touched.

Please know that our community (Alaaka) stands with you during this difficult time. We are here to support you in any way we can, just as Imam was always there for his community

With deepest sympathy and duas,

Alaaka Association
