“I can attest to my husband’s unwavering dedication to uplifting the jamaat and his honesty in all endeavors. He would readily shoulder responsibility when needed, and his absence will undoubtedly impact many who were fortunate to know him and experience his compassion for the community. As his wife, I can say that Mustafa was incredibly humble, caring, soft-hearted, and extremely responsible.”
