Thank you for helping us reach our target, any extra donations will still go towards the causes. 

Our dearest grandfather, Mohammad Abdul Bari Qureshi, returned to his Lord at the age of 92. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon. In his name we will donate towards water wells in several countries including Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. The remaining will go towards building a mosque in our grandfather’s homeland, Bangladesh.

Anyone lucky enough to have known our grandfather would have seen how gracefully he carried his years.

He was a loving, caring, and generous individual, who was equally beloved to his family, friends and neighbours.

He was the very foundation of our lives, and he is the reason why we are who we are today.

His life was not always easy, especially when he first came to the UK as a young man in a new and strange land. But he made it his home. He taught us all that there was no challenge that could not be overcome with determination, compassion and above all else, kindness.

His love for knowledge was clear to everyone, and throughout his life he encouraged his family to study and become the best versions of themselves. He was inspirational, and a fierce advocate for education for everyone.

Above all, he was a man who always remembered his Lord, and taught us that the names of Allah were our best companions in life. He was a man of deep faith, spirituality and a role model for our family.

We pray that his actions and manner of living constantly in the dhikr of his Lord becomes his gateway to Jannatul Firdous. May Allah bless our grandfather, protect him and allow him sanctuary in the eternal and divine light of his Lord‘s mercy. May his deeds of generosity and goodness speak for him on the Day of Judgement. Ameen.

In that spirit, we want to give everyone the opportunity to honour the memory of our beloved grandfather through the action that was most beloved to him: the act of charity and giving.

We would ask that you take a moment to remember our grandfather in your prayers and to donate whatever you can towards these noble causes.
