Verily, we come from ALLAH and to him shall we return. May the Almighty forgive the short coming of the deceased and grant him a place in the paradise. Ameen
Isn't the life too short? Have we prepared enough to leave? The question we need to ask ourselves.
inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raajiwoon.. May Allah forgive their sins and give strength to their families to bear the pain of their loss.....
