We thank everyone for their prayers and support for our brother Qaadir and his family. If you are unable to attend the janazah prayer, you can observe the prayer online at Ummah Stream Tuesday, September 9th at 2pm.
As salaamu Alaykum, I have known Bro Muhammad Siddeeq for many years. When Qaair was born I think I was still working as the Mosque secretary for No.2 in WDM's office with Bro Mustafaa. I live in Birmingham, UK now with my husband Dr. Mohammed Yusuf Mahmood. I have a message from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) regarding condolence and mourning the dead. Inshallah, it comes through ok. I watched the video stream of the Janazah and I was so happy to see Imam Siddeeq and hear him speak. I feel a bit out of touch over here but that really brought me home for a minute. What Masjid was that? Here is one of my favorite Hadiths:
The Holy Prophet's صMessage of Condolence
Hadrat Mu'az has reported that the Holy Prophet صsent him the following message of condolence on the death of his son:
"In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, to Mu'az bin Jabal, Peace be on you! First of all, I glorify Allah besides Whom there is no god; then I pray that Allah may bestow upon you a great reward for this bereavement, and grant you patience and fortitude and give you and us the courage to be grateful to Him for His favours. The fact is that our lives and our near and dear ones are sacred gifts to us from Allah, Who has given these in our charge only temporarily. He allowed you to benefit from the gifts for as long as He willed and withdrew them as and when He willed, and in return for this (apparent loss) He will bless you with high rewards of His special favours, mercy and guidance provided you display fortitude for His sake and for the sake of the benefits of the Hereafter. Therefore, I counsel you to have patience: let not your wailings bring your rewards of the Hereafter to nought and you to remorse. Be assured that no amount of lamentation and wailing has ever brought a dead back, nor can it help do away with grief and sorrow. Allah's Will is always done and has rather already been done!" (Mu'jam Kabir)
On the behalf of the students, staff and administration of Washington Irving Elementary School, I extend a most sincere wish for your family to cherish the memories of Qaadir and find peace in his loss.
Our sympathy is extended !!!
Always remember... you have our support ... "be strong and let your hearts take courage" Psalm 27:14
On behalf of the Saahir Family of Winston-Salem, NC, we give our deepest regrets of the news of the passing of our young brother Qaadir. We pray the family will find solace with Allah and that Qaadir entered paradise.
We were so sorry to hear the news. We give our salaams to the family, his lovely wife and children.
May Allah continue to bless you all. Please know that with every difficulty comes ease!
