My Dearest Aunty Mariam Sisters *Nasira* Naseema Zaheera and brother Zain
I am deeply saddened 😢 to hear about the passing of your beloved dad the one and only Professor Uncle Rashid Bhikha. (Have not come across anyone like him )
Indeed the loss is too great and the pain you going through can only be understood by you as you have lost your pillar of strength
I am so sad and devastated that I could not be the there for the Janaza as I am overseas
But be rest assured that I share in your grief and my duas and thoughts are with you guys all the time since I got the sad sad news
We all had so much hope but Allah saw him getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him and whispered “Come to me” and so we lost a beautiful soul
إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونََ _ اَلّلَهُمَّ اغْفِرْلَهُمْ وَارْحَمْهُمْ وَسَكِّنْهُمْ فِالْجَنَّه- آمين
His legacy, amazing personality, his laughter, unique way of talking will be truly missed
Indeed he was beacon and epitome of kindness, and a true embodiment of compassion and love and will forever be remembered.
Uncle Rashid’s comforting presence knew no bounds; he touched lives, big and small, with unwavering warmth and unconditional love
Uncle Rashid was my role model –
Indeed he touched my life in many ways and I will forever treasure the special moments I shared with him and these memories will stay with me for ever
As the Pharmacist he was regarded as the father of affordable generic medicines in South Africa, he was a pioneer and legend and leaves an indelible mark on the healthcare industry
( we all aspire to walk in his footsteps )
Later in life, his advocacy and as a champion of Unani Tibb medicines showcased his commitment to diverse healing traditions and alternate medicines
What a loss 😢
My My heartfelt condolences to the whole family
We make dua that Allah grants Uncle Rashid the highest status in Jannatul Firdaus and Allah grants the family straight and sabr during this difficult time.
