Dr. AbdulRahman Elbayouk.
May Allah SWT grant you the highest abode in Jannah, Dido.
May he raise you as Ahlul Qur’an and reunite us so we can practice Qur’an together again. I am still in shock and my mind still can’t comprehend this grave loss to us all.

Social media is pouring with testimonies of your akhlaaq and adab and everyone shared a unique bond with you. I, too, shared a very unique bond with you which centred around the Qur’an. I remember the very first time we met, you were hosting the FOSIS North competition.
I was competing. Since then we always maintained a tight knit bond, constantly sharing recitation clips with each other. In fact our last conversation yesterday, few hours before your passing was about Qur’an. You were my biggest and most genuine supporter.
You would always make the first row in Taraweeh and proudly tell me how much you enjoyed listening. Without fail you would come into my room after work and ask me to teach you maqaamat. I wish I could have benefitted more from your reflections on Qur’an.
It was your dream to go with me to Egypt to study under the shuyookh. We always talked about this and you never failed to tell me how much you envy those who have memorised Qur’an. You were memorising and I can only pray Allah raises you amongst the people of Qur’an.
Everyone has commented on your akhlaaq but living with you was a lesson for me above all else. There was never a time when you would eat dinner without calling me down, no matter how tired you were after work. You constantly reminded us about the bigger picture. The bigger aims.
And we shared the same passion for surgery and global relief. You would have been an excellent surgeon, just as you excelled in everything you did. I’m certain your patients would say the same about you. You carried a light within of a believer, which lit up any room you were in.
An undivided worry towards the akhirah. You even named our OSCE practice group “Don’t forget akhirah”. This sums up your entire life’s focus; to leave this world attaining Allah’s happiness.
Unapologetically Muslim, exemplary human being and extremely competent colleague. A teacher to many, a role model for others and a brother to all.
May Allah SWT grant you the highest abode in Jannah. I hope to continue your legacy and dream of providing surgical aid in your country, Palestine. I will one day travel to Egypt and sit at the feet of the scholars and remember you brother.
The lessons you taught me and the genuine nature you possessed will live on and serve as a reminder that indeed, it is the kindness we possess that is remembered. The charitable work we do that really shifts hearts.
To smile at every person I cross paths with and to make everyone feel special as you always did.
I write this with the heaviest heart, having heard some of our dearest friends share their cries on the phone at the shock of losing our most special brother.
May Allah SWT honour you like your honoured all the guests and granted them space in our house like it was their own. May he grant your family and all of us left in pieces, endless sabr to deal with this grave loss.
Your brother and student, Uzair.
