Gifted With Cancer – Ali Banat Passes Away

It is with great sadness that we bring you the news that our beloved brother Ali Banat passed away yesterday. إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ‎

He proved to this world how something like cancer can be taken as a gift from Allah SWT. Doctors gave him 7 months to live, Allah SWT gave him 3 years. During these 3 years he left the ease of this life and started beautiful projects like MATW Project.

May Allah SWT increase his ranks in Jannah.

His Janaza Prayer will be held at Lakemba Mosque today after Dhuhr prayer. Those who can attend please wear white as it was one of his wishes.

May Allah SWT give him a high rank and give sabr to his family.
