Surely We all Belong to Allah and Unto Him We Shall Return

It's with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of 

Dr. Mohammad Sarwar Alvi, as he passed away evening of December 21st, 2023.

He was a founding member of our Muslim community who contributed to the establishment of the Islamic Association of Cincinnati as we know it. He was a Doctor of Education, while serving the general Muslim community since immigrating to the Cincinnati area in the 1970’s, through countless responsibilities via the IAC, and otherwise.

He is survived by his wife Mrs. Ruqayyia Alvi, four loving children Shaheena Alvi, Nazeena Alvi, Bilal Alvi, and Khalil Alvi, His eight grandchildren (Shaiza Alvi, Sohaib Alvi, Safwan Alvi, Ammar D'Ambrosio, Azim D'Ambrosio, Ilias D'Ambrosio, Daood Alvi, and Ibraheem Alvi. He is also survived by his two great-grandchildren Haashim Awan, and Inaaya Awan.

Please make Dua for the departed soul. May Allah SWT shower this beautiful soul with Mercy and grant him the highest place in Jannat-ul-Firdaus. May Allah give sabr to the bereaved family. Ameen.

اَللّٰھُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَیِّنَا وَ مَیِّتِنَا وَ صَغِیْرِنَا وَ کَبِیْرِنَا وَ

ذَکَرِنَا وَ اُنْثَانَا وَ شَاھِدِنَا وَ غَائِبِنَا، اَللّٰھُمَّ مَنْ اَحْیَیْتَهُ مِنَّا فَاَحْیِهِ عَلَی الْاِیْمَانِ وَ مَنْ تَوَفَّیْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَی الْاِسْلَامِ، اَللّٰھُمَّ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا اَجْرَهُ وَ لَا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ۔ 

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, our young and our old, our menfolk and our womenfolk, those who are present and those who are absent. O Allah, whomever you give life from among us give him life in Faith, and whomever you take away from us take him away in Islām. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward (for supplicating for the deceased) and do not lead us astray after him.  

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Whosoever attends the funeral of a Muslim believing and hoping for the reward from Allah and remains with it until the prayer is offered over it and the burial is completed, he will return with a reward of two Qirat; each Qirat is equivalent to Mount Uhud; and whosoever offers his prayer over it and returns before its burial, he will come back with one Qirat.'' Al-Bukhari.
