Globally renowned Muslim scholar, Mufti Menk and immediate former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Professor Isa Ali Pantami have joined the Nigerian Muslim community to mourn the passing of a young motivational and inspirational speaker, Abdul Latif Miyaki famously known as Mufti Yaks.
The Ummah was greeted on a Saturday morning with the news of the death of Mufti Yaks – who imitated the international Islamic scholar, Mufti Menk, in dressing, speaking and preaching the universality of Islamic message.
Mufti Menk, in his condolence message posted on all his social media handles, mourned the passing of his protege.
He said, “I’m saddened by the news of the death of the young Abdul Latif Miyaki, Mufti Yaks this morning. He was a very talented young lad trying to spread goodness. May Allah Almighty forgive him, accept his good deeds and grant him the highest ranks of Paradise. Aameen.
Similarly, Prof Pantami described his death as a great loss! According to him, “Inna lil Laahi wa inna ilaiHi Raajiun. Just heard that our beloved son, Abdullateef Aliyu Maitaki, popularly known as MUFTI YAKS passed away. What a great loss! May the Almighty Allah admit him into Jannatul Firdaus.”
Many of his admirers have continued to pen glowing tributes over the death of the young scholar.

O ALLAH, forgive him and have mercy on him, heal and pardon him, honor his shelter, replace him with a better house than his house, a better welcome from his family, enter him in paradise (sic), and protect him from the torment of fire. Amin.
