apropos of anything

We are from Allah, and unto Him we return.

Or, in Biblical terms, the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

For our Augusta boys that we lost tonight: Inna lillahi wa inna illahi raji’oon. May Allah (SWT) forgive you and have mercy upon you.

I don’t know what else to say that doesn’t sound callow or self-righteous about these boys, who were a part of our extended family, who were over at our house all the time.

Allahum-maghfir lihayyina wa mayyitina, wa shaahidina, wa ghaa’ibina, wa sagheerina wa kabeerina, wa dhakarina wa onthana. Allahuma man ahyaitahu minna fa ahyihi alal Islami, wa man tawaf-fitahu minna fatawaffahu’alal imani. Allahuma la tahrimna ajrahu wa la tudillana ba’dahu.

My heart goes out to your families.
