(To Allah We Belong, and To Him We will Return)
Very sad news. May Allah bless him, forgive his sins and grant him paradise. Aameen.
May Allah give Hasnain and his family the strength and patience to cope up with it. Aameen.
Even our moment of death has been determined, after which our actions will stop and we'll not benefit from any new action of ours (except some deeds whose effect remains even after our death).
Hasnain, Insha Allah, you will meet your father in Paradise. Have patience my brother.
