True hero,some people worry about pigmentation, religion or national background.,but real law enforcement people know that the one saving you life on duty can be from any religion, political belief ,or skin color male and female,when putting on any uniform in public safety puts one at risk.Rip hero and American patriot.

In Loving Memory of Officer Didarul Islam

To the family, friends, and fellow officers of Officer Didarul Islam,

It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that we mourn the tragic loss of Officer Didarul Islam a dedicated public servant of New York City, a devoted protector of his community, and a man whose faith and courage touched countless lives.

Officer Islam embodied unwavering commitment to justice, making the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. As a proud Muslim and a guardian of peace, his integrity, kindness, and devotion left an indelible mark on all who knew him. In this time of immeasurable grief, we stand united in prayer, asking Allah (SWT) to grant him His infinite mercy, to welcome him among the *shuhada* (martyrs) in the highest ranks of *Jannah*, and to grant his loved ones strength (*sabr*) and solace.

*"Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un"*
**"Surely we belong to Allah, and to Him we shall return."** *(Quran 2:156)*

May these words of the Most Merciful bring comfort to grieving hearts. Officer Didarul Islam was not just a keeper of peace—he was a beacon of compassion, service, and faith. His legacy will endure through the lives he protected, the people he inspired, and the community he served with honor.

May Allah (SWT) grant him eternal peace, forgive his shortcomings, and surround his family with patience and divine comfort.

Ameen.
