We pray to the Almighty Allah to grant him al-jannah firdaus, keep his family after him, and save our world from this public health enemy number one. That said, this death closer home should remind our people that COVID-19 is not a hoax as some persons have claimed. Our best shot is to take all precautions and respect safety protocols recommended by health authorities.”
