With conviction and submission to Allah’s سبحانه وتعالى destiny and fate, Hizb ut Tahrir Kenya mourns to the Islamic Ummah generally, and the people of Kenya specifically, one of the carriers of the noble call of resuming the Islamic life through re-establishment of the Khilafah upon the method of the Prophet ﷺ, Brother Ahmed Swaleh Gandhi. Our brother passed away Tuesday morning 31st January 2017 on his way to his workplace.
Ahmad Gandhi, RahimahuAllah, was one of the prominent members of Hizb ut Tahrir and has been a blogger of the party’s website for more than a decade. We knew his sincerity and his hard work in carrying the dawah though we do not ascribe purity to anyone before Allah سبحانه وتعالى.
We offer our warmest and sincere condolence to his family asking Almighty Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, to reward them greatly, and grant them patience, fortitude and comfort. For us we do not say except what pleases our Lord; indeed we belong to Allah and indeed to Him we will return.
Indeed our hearts are grieved our eyes tears for losing our Brother Ahmad Gandhi, O Allah, have mercy upon him and forgive him. O Allah, make honorable his reception, and expand his entry. O Allah, exchange his home for a better abode, and his family for a better family, and gather us and him under the banner of the Prophet ﷺ on the Day of Resurrection.
إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ
“Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.”
