We sincerely and humbly extend our heartfelt condolences and du’a to the family of our humble and illustrious Muslim brother & friend, Lylton Kareem Abdullah…
Brother Lylton opened his arms in greeting me (us) upon my (our) initial welcome to Masjid William Salaam and at no time thereafter did his greeting diminish in the least!
We pray Allah, ta ‘ala, that our brother’s transition to the highest station of HIS HOUSE be one of smoothness and completeness, Insha’Allah.
