It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Issam al-Attar, the renowned Islamic preacher and thinker, and the former General Supervisor of the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria. Mr. al-Attar passed away at the age of 97 in the city of Aachen, Germany.<\/p>\n
In the early hours of Friday, his family released a statement through his official page, which read: “Our father, Issam al-Attar, passed away tonight (the night of Friday, 23 Shawwal 1445 AH, May 3, 2024 AD). May God envelop him in His mercy and pleasure.<\/p>\n
He asks for your forgiveness and prayers for his pardon and a blessed end.” The family’s obituary included Mr. al-Attar’s last words: “Farewell, my brothers and sisters, my sons and daughters, my family, and my fellow countrymen.<\/p>\n
I entrust you to God, whose trust is never lost. I entrust to God your religion, your trust, and the outcomes of your deeds. I pray to God Almighty to assist you in every duty and good, to protect you from all danger and evil, and to relieve you from every distress, affliction, and hardship.<\/p>\n
May God have mercy on Issam al-Attar and grant him a place in His vast gardens, and may He provide patience and consolation to his family and loved ones in their loss.<\/p>\n
To God we belong, and to Him we shall return.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
