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 his soul and ask Allah (SWT) to expand and enlighten his grave with His Noor (Light) and grant him the highest place in Jannatul-Firdous (paradise), Ameen.
We remind ourselves, the surviving family members, and friends of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and reflect upon the words of condolence and prayer that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used on such occasions:
"Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. Inna lillahi ma akhadh wa lahu ma a'ta. Wa kullu shay'in indahu bi ajalin musamma faltasbir waltahtasib."
"To Allah we belong and to Him is our return. To Allah belongs what He takes and what He gives, and with Him everything has an appointed term, so let us have patience and seek reward from Him, Ameen."
