On behalf of my family and the Obidient movement, I sincerely commiserate with the family of Sheikh Muyideen Bello, a renowned Muslim scholar and preacher, who passed away today.
From what I have read about him, Sheikh Muyideen Bello lived a remarkable life, leaving behind an enduring legacy. A distinguished Islamic scholar, educator, and community leader, his tireless dedication to the pursuit of knowledge, spiritual growth, and humanitarian service has left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all who knew him.
I also extend my heartfelt sympathies to the entire Muslim community over the loss of one of their revered figures, who significantly impacted many lives positively through his profound Islamic knowledge and teachings.
Sheikh Muyideen Bello was not only a scholar with a deep understanding of Islam but also a man who exemplified its teachings through his tireless commitment to love, peace, and unity.
May Almighty Allah grant his family, the Muslim community, and all of us the fortitude to bear this loss. May He forgive Sheikh Muyideen Bello’s sins, grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus, and continue to protect and bless his family. -PO
