A Final Act of Love: Honoring Imam Fouad
Imam Fouad was the heart of our community. As the leader of the Islamic Center of Northeast Ohio, he was more than a teacher—he was a gentle guide who illuminated our paths. He spent his life selflessly caring for others, nurturing our children with the wisdom of the Quran, healing family rifts, and offering kindness to everyone he met. His boundless generosity touched countless souls, and the space he leaves behind feels immeasurably quiet and deep.
Our hearts are broken to share that Imam Fouad has passed away. He departed this life while unjustly incarcerated, after pleading for medical care for over a year. The pain of his loss, compounded by these circumstances, has left our community grieving and holding each other a little closer.
In this moment of profound sorrow, we are turning to love. We wish to surround his family with the same compassion Imam Fouad always showed us, beginning with ensuring he is laid to rest with the utmost dignity and peace. We are humbly asking for your support to cover his funeral expenses. This is our chance to give back to a man who gave us everything. Your contribution, no matter the amount, is a heartfelt gesture of solidarity. It tells his grieving family they are surrounded by love, and it honors a beautiful life that was dedicated to service. Thank you for helping us wrap Imam Fouad in the community’s embrace one last time.
