It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our beloved senior community member, **Dr. Nouman Chergui**, who returned to his Lord today after suffering an injury yesterday.

إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

Dr. Nouman was a pillar of our community whose service to Islam and the Muslims of Nova Scotia spanned many years. As the longtime Treasurer of the Islamic Association of Nova Scotia (IANS), he played a vital role in the expansion of the Dartmouth Masjid, the establishment of the Truro Muslim Cemetery, and the financial growth and stability of our organization. He worked tirelessly in the service of the Muslim community across the province, and his contributions are far too many to count.

Dr. Nouman and his family also devoted countless hours to the Dartmouth Masjid through Islamic Studies classes, cleaning, maintenance, and many other acts of service. Their sincerity, dedication, and generosity have left a lasting impact on our community.

We ask Allah (SWT) to forgive all of his shortcomings, shower him with His infinite mercy, expand and illuminate his grave, and grant him the highest ranks in Jannatul Firdaus. May Allah (SWT) grant his family patience, strength, and comfort during this difficult time, and reward them abundantly for their lifelong service to the community.

Please keep Dr. Nouman and his family in your sincere du'as.

**Janazah prayer and burial details will be shared as soon as they are confirmed, In sha Allah.**

May Allah (SWT) accept all of Dr. Nouman's good deeds, make them heavy on his scale, and grant him the companionship of the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous. Ameen.
