Instead of solely mourning, Fahad celebrated a life “well-lived,” honoring his father’s love, legacy, and the lasting impact he left on everyone around him.
Taking to Instagram, Fahad shared a simple yet powerful message: “To Allah we belong and to Allah is our ultimate return. Goodbye, Dad.”
In a viral video from the burial, Fahad is seen standing with remarkable composure, addressing family and friends.
He highlighted his father’s immense love for his family and encouraged everyone to celebrate his life rather than focus only on grief.
“We all know how much he loved us,” Fahad said, urging friends and loved ones to come together, offer prayers, and honor his father’s life.
Despite the somber setting, he emphasized that his father had lived a full and meaningful life, one worthy of remembrance with gratitude.
Fahad revealed that his father reached the age of 52, witnessing his children grow and even meeting his grandchildren, leaving a legacy of love in countless hearts.
Quoting the poet Rumi, he added: “Do not search for my grave in the earth; find it in the hearts of people.”
Towards the end of the video, a visibly emotional Fahad expressed how blessed he felt to be his father’s son, acknowledging that everything he is today stems from his father’s guidance and support.
Fans and followers praised Fahad for his strength and perspective, noting the beautiful way he transformed a moment of grief into a tribute of love, faith, and gratitude.
However, the post also received mixed reactions, with some criticizing him for allegedly promoting Western culture.
