‘Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Allah we shall return.’
Family and friends were quick to offer their support for the heartbroken family.
‘May Allah give you and your beautiful children the strength and patience to get through this difficult time,’ one comment read.
‘So sorry to hear Rema,’ another said.
‘May Allah ease the pain in your hearts, grant him Jannah [paradise] and have mercy over him and your family.’
