Press Statement
[إِنَّا للهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ]
“Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.”
With firm conviction and fully submission to Allah’s (swt) destiny, Hizb ut Tahrir / Kenya mourns to the Islamic Ummah generally, and the people of Kenya specifically,
Seif Omari Mwaruwa
(May Allah have mercy on him) who passed away on Friday, 28th of June 2024.
Despite being an old man, Brother Seif joined Hizb ut Tahrir – a global ideological Islamic party that carries the noble call of resuming the Islamic life through re-establishment of the Khilafah (Caliphate) upon the method of the Prophet (saw). Upon his illness, Mr. Seif was still fulfilling his commitment and interacting with his age mates on the vital issue of Khilafah and we do not ascribe purity to anyone before Allah (swt).
Indeed our hearts are grieved, our eyes tear for this great loss of our father and brother, O Allah, have mercy upon him and forgive him. O Allah, make honorable his reception, and expand his entry.
Finally, we would like to send our warmest and sincere condolence to his family asking Almighty Allah (swt) to reward them greatly, and grant them patience, fortitude and comfort. We ask Allah to exchange his home for a better abode, and his family for a better family, and gather us and him under the banner of the Prophet (saw) on the Day of Resurrection.
