Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raajioun. We pray with almighty allah to bless late haji abdul hameed kandak with his jannaathul firdouse, aameen. May almighty allah give patience & forebearance to his family to bear the brunt of bereavement. This humble gentleman is known to me since last 50years or more during his association as a manager in a bombay based company called byculla transport co, near badria masjid, bunder, mangalore. Due to his sincere & social nature as a mediater & compromiser between two parties or groups and to unite them., he was familiarly and friendly addressed by his friends circle as uno chief. Holy qur'an says *kullu nafsin zaikathul mouth* (every living soul has to taste death). Even though his death is a great loss to the community and humanity, we have to respect our creater almighty allah's decision & pray for his maghfirah.
IInna Lillahi Va inna ilahi rajivoon, May Allah grant him Jannat. Whenever we met always discussed about community issues. His deep concern about disunity in the community, enmity among brotherly communities and leader’s failure to tackle on burning social and community issues are highly praise worthy.
Haji H Kandak was very genious and concenred about Muslim community, He was an inspiration for me to get into socio political field in 90s when I was an LLB student. Really a bing loss for the muslim community in particular and society in general. May allah give him maghfirath and paradise
Innalillahi wa inna iaihi rajivoon. Unbelievable. I recently spoke to him. Recent developments in coastal Karnataka had saddened him. May allah reward him jannah.
Shocking incident. Really unbearable loss for the Muslim community in Manglaore. May he rest in peace
He was an honest man. He was not just a mulsim leader. He treated all communities equally.
Inna lillahi va inna ilahi rajivoon. Subhanallah he was active till last moment of his life. May allah grant him jannah
إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ) "We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return"
Community lost a great leader who was striving for the unity.
May Allah grant him Jannathul Firdouse
