Alas Hasan is no more...

In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful 

K. Mohammed Hasan, son of late K. Abdul Azeez bhai sahib breathed his last yesterday, Monday,18th March 2019. When I received this sad message on WhatsApp from Peerva Akbar, it shocked me as it should have shocked everyone who knows him. He was a soft spoken young shoe factory MD engaged in exports. He was interested in religion. I was told sometime ago that he was memorising the holy Quran in the midst of his busy business schedules - an excellent and pious trait, very rare in the business community. His father-in-law Janab N. M. Zackeria sahib, an octogenarian respected footwear giant, was a pillar of strength to him.

I have seen Hasan from his elementary school to college days. He was a humble and smiling person behaving well with one and all. 

Let us pray for his "maghfirath" and "Sabr" to his father-in-law, mother, wife, children, younger brother, sister  and all other near and dear ones.

Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 153:  

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ 

  
O you who believe! seek assistance through patience and prayer; surely Allah is with the patient.
