May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings, elevate his status, and grant him a high place in Jannatul Firdaus. Aameen.
His passing is a great loss for all of us. He was not just a teacher but a source of wisdom, affection, and spiritual guidance. His legacy will live on in the hearts of those he taught and touched.

Let us all pray for his maghfirah and remember his noble soul in our duas.
