*A Message of Condolence and Solidarity*
*بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ*
*إِنَّا لِلّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ*
It is with a heavy heart and a soul steeped in prayer that I share the grief that has visited our cherished community in these recent days. The departure of a loved one is among the most profound trials a human soul can endure ; and when that grief descends upon those who have devoted their lives to the noble cause of education, it touches us all deeply.
*A Visit of Condolence ; Ms. Ruhi Sultana , Dr. Urfana Amin*& Syed Farooq AhmadBhukari
It was with a sense of shared sorrow that I, accompanied by Dr. J. Mudasir Gul, called upon Ms. Ruhi Sultana to offer our heartfelt condolences on the passing of her beloved father. Words, in such moments, feel woefully inadequate : yet presence, prayer, and solidarity carry what language cannot. We sat beside her in grief, and prayed with full sincerity that Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى bless her with *sabr-e-jameel* : that beautiful patience which is itself a gift from the Divine.
We also extended our profound solidarity with Dr. Urfana Amin, who has been visited by the sorrow of losing her respected father-in-law. Both Ms. Ruhi Sultana and Dr. Urfana Amin are State Awardees, recognised for their exceptional and enduring contributions to the field of education in Jammu & Kashmir, and they are among the most dedicated Key Resource Persons of SCERT-JK. That such accomplished and selfless souls now carry the weight of personal loss makes our collective prayers all the more earnest.
We pray to the Almighty to enfold the departed souls in His infinite mercy, to elevate them to the highest stations of *Jannah*, and to bestow upon their bereaved families the strength, solace, and recompense that only He can grant.
*اللهم اغفر لهم وارحمهم وعافهم واعف عنهم*
*Another Condolence : Mr. Farooq Ahmad Bukhari*
In a separate visit, I had the sombre privilege of calling upon Mr. Farooq Ahmad Bukhari, Headmaster of Government Middle School Nowgam, Zone Khag, Budgam to offer condolences on the passing of his dear father, who returned to his Lord after a brief illness at his home. A father's passing leaves a silence in the heart that no worldly comfort can fully fill ; yet faith reminds us that every soul is a trust, and to Allah it must return, in His time and in His wisdom.
May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى illuminate the grave of the deceased, elevate his status in *Jannah*, and surround the Bukhari family with His mercy, protection, and abundant recompense in both worlds.
*آمین یا رب العالمین*
