Condolences - إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته



Greetings of peace, Allah's mercy and His blessings,

 

It is with great sadness that we inform the community that Sister Sayeeda Begum mother of Brother Rehan Sibgatullah passed away peacefully while visiting India. 

On this solemn occasion we offer our deepest sympathies and sincere condolences to the family. May Allah (swt) grant the entire family mercy (Rahmah), patience (Sabr) and comfort during this difficult and trying time. We also pray for the soul and ask Allah (s.w,t.) to expand and enlighten her grave with His Noor (Light) and grant highest place in Jannathul-Firdous (paradise), Ameen.

We remind ourselves, her surviving family members and friends of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and reflect upon the words of condolence and prayer that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him - صلى الله عليه وسلم) used on such occasions: 

إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ 

"Inna'lillahi-Wa'Inna Ilahi-rajioon -Inna-lillahi-ma-akhatha Walaho-ma-a-ta.  Wakkollo-Shay'in indaho Bi ajalim-musamma - faltasbir Waltahtasib"

To Allah we belong and to Him is our return.  Due to Allah that which He has taken away and His is whatever He has given.  With Him, everything has an appointed term; so let us have patience and seek reward from Him, Ameen!
