The family of Rahman Ali would like to sincerely thank everyone for the kind words, calls, and messages shared following his passing on August 1, 2025. Your outpouring of love and support has brought great comfort during this difficult time. In accordance with Rahaman’s wishes, a  private Janazah service will be held on Saturday, August 16, 2025.

A Janazah service refers to a funeral service for an individual of Muslim faith. It’s a ceremony that’s filled with prayers, the washing and shrouding of the body and then the burial. This is an Islamic tradition.
