INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAYHI RAJIOON "To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return". Al-Baqarah 2:156
It is with grief and sadness we share the news of the demise Br. Murtazamahdi Ashikabbas Rizvi (23 yrs) who passed away today, Friday Jan 13th, in Dar (Tanzania) and will be buried tomorrow, Saturday Jan 14th. Marhoom was the brother of Ali Jawad Rizvi and Nephew of Akbar Rizvi.
Mo'mineen are requested to remember Marhum with Sura-e-Fateha and Namaz e Wahshat / Hadiya-e-Mayyit tomorrow tonight.
On the behalf of the Trustees and the Management we offer condolences to the family and the members of the Allentown Jamaat. As we send this message out to you all, we filled with a deep sense of sorrow and grief. But, Alas, reposing our faith in Allah we remind ourselves of the injunction in the Holy Qur'an: Inna Lillahe WA Iinna Ilayhe Rajeuun. "From Him we come and to Him we return.” This should be a reminder to us that every day we are walking towards our death. Our thoughts are with his family and our community. We mourn with them, united in grief at our common loss and gratitude to Allah.
May Allah rest his soul amongst the 14 Masumeen (a.s.). May ALLAH bless all our marhumeens, Amen. Let us please recite a Sura-e-Fateha for all deceased
