A loving husband…
A dedicated Muslim…
It sounds like a textbook or template version of a funeral speech. For this uncle of mine whom I am not close with, I can safely say that those 3 lines truly describe him.
On a personal level, I barely know him but from what I’ve observe and heard, he truly signifies of a true Muslim…even in his dying days. He was challenged by cancer. Even so, on his bed, struggling to even breathe, he did his obligatory prayers.
2 Sunday morning ago, subuh time, I was awoken by a call from my mother. My parents were already at KL since Friday to visit him. My mum told me that my uncle was in nazak condition. My aunt family, my cousin and I headed for KL immediately,
Alhamdulillah, we reach in time for sholat jenazah.
At his burial ground, I met many familiar faces. The ones I’ve not met in years, if not a decade.
Ironically, it takes the death of someone we love to bring everyone else together; not wedding celebrations or happy occasions.
For him, his journey ends here. For the rest of us, it serves as a reminder. A reminder that someday, the people we love will leave us. A reminder that nothing is certain except death.
A reminder to all and myself especially, that everyone, except Allah...will leave our side(=
Allahu'alam bisawab~
Allahyarham Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Bakar
Al-Fatihah
May this journey be bless by Allah and full of barakah! Stay safe people!

"Ya Allah! Mudahkanlah kami bermusafir dan dekatkanlah kejauhannya. Ya Allah! Engkaulah menemani dalam pemergian dan Engkau pulalah yang melindungi keluarga."
Help me embrance a little child before it is too late, or save an older person from the horror of that fate.
Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest cry, and quickly and efficiently to give a helping hand.
I want to fill my calling and to give the best in me, to guard my every neighbour and protect his family.
And if according to my fate, I am to lose my life, please bless with Your protecting hand, my family and my friends.
