In the name of God, Creator of souls You left, and your departure set fire to hearts What remains of the caravan but ashes in the homeland?

And now, with broken hearts and souls filled with grief and sorrow, we almost breathe our last as we bid farewell to a traveler who was a loving husband and father, and a true gentleman in every sense of the word.

Sadness suffocates us as we inform our friends and acquaintances that Mohammed Kasbi, that cultured artist, dearer to us than our own souls, has surrendered his soul to its Creator and departed this mortal world for the eternal home.

Let us stand in solidarity with him and bid him farewell by reciting Surat Al-Fatihah and praying for his mercy and peace.
