Our beloved Sayyid’s funeral is on this Sunday.
Even though I won’t be there in person, my heart will be there, mourning with those who loved him and whose lives he touched so deeply. The love I carry for him still brings tears to my eyes and words can never truly capture how much this man meant to us.
His son, Sayyid Muhammad Mahdi, spoke about his father’s funeral on Sunday. It won’t just be a farewell. It will be a covenant... a pledge to carry forward his legacy, to uphold the values he lived and sacrificed for.
Sunday will be a day of loyalty and love, a day of renewal and commitment to the path he paved for us. It’s a day to honour a life that stood firm against storms, a heart that bore burdens for our sake.
I may not be able to stand there physically, but my soul will be present, my prayers will join those of the mourners, and my heart will echo the words of loyalty: “Here I am at your service, O Sayyid.”
May his legacy live on through our love, loyalty, and steadfast commitment. Ameen.
