Apart from that, a virtual Yasin recitation and doa selamat organised by the Secretariat of Political Science (POSSA) was held tonight (25 July) via Zoom aimed at seeking Allah’s blessing, forgiveness and protection for the late almarhum and his family.
It is Allah that takes and it is He that gives, and He prescribes a certain destiny for every matter. May Allah place them with the righteous one and make them pass successfully in all the stages of the life after death. Aamin.
Inna lillahi wa Inna Ilaihi Roji’un – Surely, we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return.
