Funeral Announcement
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.
Indeed, to Allah we belong, and to Him we shall return.
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Shakir Sayed (22), a beloved son, brother, and member of our Bangladeshi community. Shakir was known as a kind, gentle, and caring young man. He is survived by his father, Abu Sayed, his mother, Hena Sayed, and his brother, Samir Sayed.
Shakir graduated from River Hill High School in Clarksville, MD, and later earned his Bachelor’s degree in Finance from The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.
We are heartbroken by this loss. We ask Allah (SWT) to shower Shakir with His infinite mercy, compassion, and forgiveness, and to make his grave a place of light (نور) and peace.
Please keep Shakir and his family in your Duas. May Allah grant his loved ones Sabrun-Jameel (beautiful patience), strength, and comfort during this extremely difficult time.
