Abdur Rahman was diagnosed with
Acute T-Cell Lymphoblastic Cancer ( a form of blood cancer) in
2008.He was 20 years of age at that time.Despite extensive chemotherapy
in Agha Khan University Hospital, in Karachi, it transpired that he
needed a stem cell transplant.
The family decided to take
Abdur Rahman to Singapore for this treatment. We did not have enough
finances for the transplant and we therefore launched an appeal for
donation.AlhamdulilAllah, hundreds and thousands of people , friends,
relatives, acquaintances and complete strangers donated for his
transplant. It is a miracle of Allah Subhana Ta Allah, that more than
half of the amount needed was arranged within three-four days.
Abdur Rahman, left for Singapore on the 25th of February 2009, with two
of his elder brothers,one of whom was the donor for the transplant.
Abdur Rahman was immediately admitted into the hospital
and underwent extensive tests, after which he was given aggressive
chemotherapy dosage.
His body responded to the Chemotherapy and
all of us were full of hope again. However, Allah Subhana wa Ta Allah has
bigger and better plans for his believers, that we cannot possibly
comprehend even if we try. Our dearest brother, Abdur Rahman
met with his Creator in the Singapore General Hospital on the 21st of
March 2009. He was 21 years of age at that time.
Inna lil Allahe wa Ina Ilaihe Raji'oon. (Verily to Allah belongs all that He takes and all that he grants and to Him returns everything at an appointed time.)
Please Pray to Allah (swt) for Abdur Rehman's soul to be bestowed the
honor and relief of Jannat-ul-Firdous and for our family and parents to
give us patience and strength to carry forward each breath with him
always around us.. forever.Ameen Sum Ameen.
