By Amir Yusuf Saeed Danfulani

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return). It is with heavy hearts and profound sorrow that we bid farewell to our dear friend, confidant, and brother, Muhammad Haruna. His departure has left an irreplaceable void in our lives, and we are deeply saddened by the loss of such a remarkable individual.

Muhammad Haruna was more than just a friend; he was a pillar of strength and a beacon of light in our group. His dedication to friendship was unparalleled, always ready to lend a helping hand and offer a listening ear. His loyalty to brotherhood was unwavering, standing by us through thick and thin, and his principles and integrity were a source of inspiration to us all.

Muhammad's consistency in his actions and words earned him our utmost respect. He was a man of his word, always reliable and dependable. His creativity and initiatives brought fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to our challenges, making our journey together more enriching and fulfilling.

His sense of humor was a gift that brightened our days and brought smiles to our faces, even in the most trying times. Muhammad had a unique ability to lift our spirits and remind us of the beauty of life, no matter the circumstances.

As we reflect on the many attributes that made Muhammad Haruna so special, we are reminded of the profound impact he had on our lives. His absence will be deeply felt, and we will miss his presence, his wisdom, and his unwavering support.

But we are consoled as Muslims by the plethora of tributes pouring in from different quarters by people who had the privilege to interact with him during his time on earth. It is a strong testimony that he was a good Muslim and we hope and believe that he will be considered so by Allah the Almighty.

From all members of the Council of Muslim Graduates {CMG} of the Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa, we pray to Allah, the Most Merciful, to forgive Muhammad Haruna his shortcomings, to shower His mercy upon him, and to admit him into Jannatul Firdaws, the highest paradise. May Allah grant him eternal peace and protect his family, providing them with strength and patience during this difficult time.

"O Allah, forgive him, have mercy on him, pardon him, and make honorable his reception. Expand his grave and cleanse him with water, snow, and ice, and purify him of sin as a white robe is purified of filth. O Allah, exchange his home for a better home, and his family for a better family. Admit him into the Garden, protect him from the punishment of the grave and the torment of the Fire." Amin.

Muhammad Haruna, you will forever remain in our hearts and prayers. Your legacy of friendship, loyalty, integrity, and joy will continue to inspire us. May Allah grant you the highest place in Jannah and grant us the strength to carry on your legacy.

With heartfelt condolences and prayers,

for: The CMG.
