Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.
This life is truly fleeting.
Yesterday, a respected elder in our community and I prayed Maghrib together; he was right beside me in the masjid. After the prayer we exchanged greetings, and he asked about my mother’s health. Moments after we left the mosque, a motorcycle hit him in front of the Mosque as he was crossing the road. He was rushed to the hospital and died there a few hours later.
We are about to perform his Janazah now.
May Allah forgive Alhaji Mukhtar Usman and grant him Jannah.
If you come across this, please pray for him.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un. 💔
If you come across this, please say a prayer for my last surviving grandparent. We lost her in the early hours of this morning. May Allah forgive her, grant her Jannatul Firdaus and give our family the strength to bear this loss. 🤲🏽
Innalillahi wa’ina ilaihirrajiun 🥺💔
Share her beautiful Qur’an recitation, so the reward may reach her grave.
She died trying to save her younger sibling who had fallen into the water.
May Allah make the Qur’an intercede for her. Ameen.
