Reflections for Detective Didarul Islam
There are no words adequate to express my sorry at your passing nor for comfort for your department, family and friends.
Rest in peace, Detective Islam, we have the watch. Thank you for your service.
May the Lord bless you and keep you;
May the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
May the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:13 (NKJV)

Rest in peace. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.
You truly embodied what it means to be a Muslim—honest to the core, committed to righteous causes, and selflessly sacrificing for the protection of others. Your dedication to prayer with your family, service to the local community, and generosity in supporting the mosque will never be forgotten.
The best among us are often called back sooner. I have no doubt you will be granted the highest place in Jannah, InshaAllah. Ameen.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.
I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
