<div>We are heartbroken by the tragic passing of our beloved brother Houari yesterday April 2nd, 2025. Indeed, we belong to Allah and indeed, to Him we will return. May Allah (SWT) have mercy on our brother, forgive him, and grant him a place in the highest paradise with the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous.

<div>He left behind his wife and 3 children (One daughter 20 &amp; two sons aged 15 and 7). We want to make sure that they are taking care of during this difficult time.

<div>Even though he left a will, I still request anyone who may have owed money to them to come forward so that we free him from any debts.
