*Urgent Appeal* – Please Do Not Let Our Brother Be Alone in his final moments.

Our Muslim Brother Ayo is nearing the end of his life and has no Muslim family or friends around him.

We urgently need *brothers* from the community to sit beside him tomorrow from 7am and gently help him recite the Shahada, recite Qur’an to him, make du‘a and provide him with comfort in his final moments.

This may be one of the last acts of kindness shown to him in this dunya and a great opportunity for reward from Allah SWT.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever relieves a believer’s distress of the distressful aspects of this world, Allah SWT will rescue him from a difficulty of the difficulties of the Hereafter.” (Muslim)

Please message us (Sulayman/Mustafa) urgently if you can attend, even for a short while. May Allah SWT reward you abundantly and grant our brother a peaceful ending upon faith. Ameen.
FUNERAL (JANAZAH) ANNOUNCEMENT – COMMUNITY APPEAL

‎إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون

Indeed, we belong to Allah and indeed, to Him we shall return.

It is with deep sadness, while accepting the decree of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta‘ala, that we inform you of the passing of our brother Dr Isiaka Owoade (Brother Ayo) of Tilehurst, Reading.

Brother Ayo was known to only a relatively small circle within the local Muslim community, and his family would like to make a heartfelt appeal to the Muslims of Reading and surrounding areas to come together and attend his Janazah and burial.

Let us honour our brother by ensuring that he is accompanied by a large gathering of his Muslim brothers and sisters as we pray over him and accompany him on his final journey from this dunya.

Insha’Allah, the Janazah Salah will take place tomorrow, Saturday 25th July 2026, at 1.30pm, after Zuhr Salah.

📍 Location:
Aisha Masjid & Islamic Centre
London Road, Earley, Reading RG6 1AH

🕑 Burial: 2.15pm
Reading Cemetery
All Hallows Road (off Henley Road), Caversham
RG4 5LP

Please make every effort to attend, even if you did not personally know Brother Ayo. At a time such as this, we come together as one Ummah to fulfil the rights of our deceased brother and to stand alongside his family.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

"Whoever attends a funeral and offers the funeral prayer will have one qirat of reward, and whoever attends until the burial is completed will have two qirats."
(Sahih al-Bukhari)

We ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta‘ala to forgive Brother Ayo, have mercy upon him, illuminate and expand his grave, accept all his good deeds and grant him the highest place in Jannatul Firdous.

May Allah grant his family patience, strength and comfort during this incredibly difficult time.

Please share this message widely and encourage others to attend.
