Laa ba'asa bihi dahuurun in sha Allah.

Inna lil Laahi wa inna ilaiHi Raaji'un! We have lost one of our all-time mentors and respected teachers, Shaykh Saidu Imam (The Chief Imam of Shagon Goro Jumu'ah Masjid, Gombe). Our heartfelt condolences go to his family, especially Dr Abubakar Saidu Imam, his relatives, his students, friends, neighbours and associates. The late Shaykh Saidu Imam was an icon of unity, peace and humility. He was highly knowledgeable, very jovial, extraordinarily humble and highly responsible. Around three weeks ago, we visited him alongside Alhaji Hussaini Ahmad Ganga (Dan Amar of Gombe), Alhaji Usman Gurama, and Dr. Abubakar Saidu (Dr. Yagi) to sympathize with him over his illness. He was very excited with the visit and he prayed for us as well. We will greatly miss his golden voice in delivering the Jumu'ah Khutbah and his weekly reminders, particularly about the Day of Judgement. The eyes shed tears and the heart is saddened, but we say nothing except that which pleases our Lord. Indeed, Shaykh Saidu Imam, we are bereaved by your departure. May Allah admit him into Jannatul Firdaus together with our departed parents and loved ones, and give the entire family and our society the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. Sai mun iso in sha Allah.
