The Passing of Dr. Fuad Nahdi
To Allah we belong and to him we shall return. The world lost a senior activist, mentor to many.
It is with great sadness that we receive the news of the passing of our beloved friend Dr Fuad Nahdi (May Allah have mercy on him).
When I went to visit Dr Fuad during his illness in 2008, he said to me something that I will not forget, he said “I am not worried about my illness, I am worried about my adab with Allah during this illness.”
We share our condolences with the family especially his wife Humera, she went through a lot of difficulties… May Allah bless her and our dear children Sidi Nadir and Illyeh.
We beg our Lord to accept him and grant him a safe journey of wellbeing, such a journey that has a beginning but no end…
– His friend and close associate, the respected Shaykh Faid Said
Dr. Fuad Nahdi died today. A great man, a great friend, a great mentor, a tireless servant of the Prophetic Way of wisdom, mercy, balance, concern, love, and beauty. Someone who knew him had a dream in which the Beloved Messenger of Allah (peace & blessings be upon him & his folk) said, “Sidi Fuad is a door of the dawah in the West…”
May Allah grant Dr. Fuad the very highest of Paradise, in close proximity to the Beloved Messenger of Allah (peace & blessings be upon him & his folk), whom he loved deeply and dearly.
The eyes tear, the hearts hurt, but with contentment, and with complete certitude in the Most Merciful and Most Generous.
