Passing of Former Board Member
With profound sorrow and a heavy heart, we announce the passing of our esteemed former board member Mr. Siddiq Chughtai, father of ICC Director Asim Chughtai, who left this world peacefully on Thursday morning.
Mr. Chughtai was a pillar of the Islamic Center of Cambridge. His unwavering dedication and tireless efforts have left an indelible mark on our community. Throughout his years of service, he was instrumental in fostering a spirit of unity and cooperation, helping to build a strong and vibrant community. His leadership and vision guided us through many significant initiatives, and his contributions will be remembered for generations to come.
Inna lillahi wa inna iIlaihi raaji'oon. In this time of grief, let us come together to support one another, remembering the legacy of kindness and service that Mr. Chughtai left behind. May Allah swt grant him the highest place in Jannah and provide patience and strength to his family during this difficult time. Ameen.
