In Loving Memory

I’m here today, not to tell you of my adventure trips, camps or outings, but with heart full of sadness and sorrow, my eyes full of tears, memories of him in my mind, how I wish he was still here. There’s a hole deep inside me, and I wonder why its there. It could be because he left us, it could be because he's not there. I’ll miss those smiles and laughter whenever we are together. No one can replace that, I’m sure.

However the time has come for you to meet our Creator. You’ll be in our hearts forever, till we meet again in hereafter.

AL-FATEHA

Allahyarham Muhd Zaid B Abdul Razak
(1989 - 2008)

Dated 07/01/2008, 10.20pm, our brother, Muhd Zaid Bin Abdul Razak was pronounced dead in TTSH after he met with a road accident. He was just 18 years old. He was on his way delivering the last pizza order for the day, when he collided with a car along Yio Chu Kang Road. The news took me by surprise when Hafiz called me saying “Abg Wan, Zaid dah meminggal!” I was speechless at first trying to think that all this was nothing but a lie, but I cant….. for all this is true, my dear brother had passed away. I drove all the way down to TTSH with Ramdan, Anwar and Zul in my car, and made our way to the mortuary where the body is. There were lots of people gathered outside the mortuary, his family and friends were all there anxious to know how the accident happened and that they can’t believe his death to be so sudden. I entered the room, his body was there lying on the bed while his mum was beside him in tears. I was there standing, looking at him, deep inside me I was controlling, not to cry. I went over, to touch his forehead and hair, he was cold, I bend over, kiss him on his forehead, said some prayers and walk off from the room. As I leave the room, I cant help it but to cry…..
He was buried at Pusara Abadi Muslim Cemetry yesterday afternoon.

He was a very active youth activist in the mosque, can always depend on him whenever we need a helping hand to help out during projects. He was a bilal during Ramadhan, helped out in various community projects and mosque projects. Always smiling… a leader among his friends…. A good brother…. A good friend….. At times, we will go riding on the road together, fishing together, stay overnight in the mosque every week and went camping together… I will rememer how he will put his head on my lap to sleep……

No matter how far away you are, you’ll always be in our hearts…..

May Allah shower his love and blessings upon your soul. Rest in peace bro.
