Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq sends heartfelt condolences to the Ansarul Islam Family worldwide on the passing of Khalifatul Adabiyyah Sheikh Abdulqodir Kamalud-deen.

In a statement on Friday, the Governor says Khalifah Abdulqodir was a man of immense grace, exemplary patience, and love for members of the Ansarul Islam Society of Nigeria and Muslims as a whole.

"He was a leader who won hearts with his great qualities. He relived the patience, wisdom, and depth of the legendary Alhaji Agba. His death has left a big void which will be difficult to fill, but we trust that Allaah, in His mercy, will not forsake the Ansarul Islam and the larger community after him," the Governor says in the statement.

"I ask Allaah to grant him forgiveness, light up and widen his grave, and admit him to al-jannah Firdaus."
