"I am writing these words not to wish you anything bad, but from the depths of my heart. Your son Abdul Latif was a sincere, practicing Muslim. He loved his faith deeply, and I am convinced that he would have wished with all his heart for his father to find the path to Islam as well. I wish for you and for him that Allah guides you and that you may be reunited in the Hereafter. For this life is temporary, while the Hereafter lasts forever."
