    Inna Lillahi wainna ilai rojiun. A soul with purpose has departed and so shall every one of us. He led a meaningful life on the purpose of spreading righteousness. He is now with his Lord. What will be the plight of me and you? Let’s play our part well to the very best of our ability.. May Allah accept his endeavors.
