FROM THE DAUGHTER OF SULAIMAN ABDUR RAHMAN LEKKI
Salam alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh
إِنَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
On behalf of the Abdurrahman Lekki Family and the entire clan, I say a big Jazzakumullah Khairan.
Alhamdulillah in all circumstances. We praise and glorify Allah, acknowledging His Perfection and expressing our gratitude for His countless blessings upon Abdurrahman Lekki throughout his life. Allah (SWT) granted our father the blessing of Islam and allowed him to live and depart upon Tawheed. May Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) illuminate our father’s grave with His Noor, make the Qur’an and his righteous deeds his companions, and allow him to be a recipient of His Rahmah on the Day of Recompense.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in our father’s Janazah and burial, those who reached out with condolences, and all who prayed for Abdurrahman Lekki. May Allah increase His Noor in your lives and allow us all to live and die upon Tawheed.
Abdurrahman Lekki dedicated his life to acts of righteousness, and the emotions and words of the people bear witness to that. We pray that Allah rewards our father with Jannatul Firdaus.
Our only request is to keep making dua for Abdurrahman Lekki. Keep him in your duas and do Sadaqatul-Jariah in his name.
