My earliest memories begin with you,
Arriving with stories, warm smiles, and treats too.
We waited with joy, for the sound of your voice,
For time spent with you, was our favorite choice.
Beyond all the knowledge and wisdom you’d bring,
Were the lessons that shaped us in everything.
You taught us that kindness is more than a word,
That the pain of the struggling must always be heard.
To look past ourselves and reach out a hand,
To leave traces of mercy wherever we stand.
To live not for status, for praise, or for fame,
But to honor our faith and bring grace to His name.
Even in age, your mind never stood still,
You sought out new knowledge with remarkable will.
Reading, reflecting, still eager to write,
Chasing wisdom and truth until your last night.
You made us reflect, you made us aspire
To be better Muslims and rise even higher.
You showed us that knowledge is a lifelong road-
A light for the heart and a strengthening load.
The simple hours shared, so gentle and small,
But now I see it was the most precious of all.
For you were a gardener in more ways than one,
Nurturing hearts like flowers in the sun.
Planting patience and grace in everyone you knew,
We grew into ourselves simply by being near you.
Your presence was comfort; your character, rare-
A man of deep wisdom, compassion, and prayer.
A century of life, you stood steady and tall,
A journey of purpose and goodness through all.
Not a moment was wasted, nor a day lived in vain,
Only service, sincerity, and faith remain.
Now Allah has called you to peace up above,
Surrounded by mercy, by light, and by love.
May He embrace you with stillness and peace,
In the gardens of Jannah where all hardships cease.
Your teachings remain, they will never depart,
They live on forever within every heart.
And may Allah, in His infinite grace,
Grant you Jannatul Firdous-the highest of place.
