Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (Arabic: إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ)
"We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return."
My oldest brother, who I visited in early February in NY, returned to his Maker last Thursday - February 22nd and was laid to rest the same day.
This is the brother who stepped into role of Father for me and my two youngest sisters (who were only ages 9, 3 & 1) when our dad passed away.
Returned from NY on Sunday after the funeral and my heart is aching.
He will be missed so much, especially by his wife of 55 years, his 9 children, 25 grands and 3 great-grands.
May Allah have Mercy on him and grant him Jannatul Firdous.
