With a heart full of faith in the judgment and destiny of God, and a soul filled with total submission to the will of God and to the assigned and predetermined deadline for each human being, the General Secretariat of the International Islamic Jurisprudence Academy, OIC, learned, with dismay, the reminder to His Creator, His Excellency Hamed Bakayoko, Prime Minister and Head of Government of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, a member country of the Academy, on 10 March 2021.
In this painful circumstance, the General Secretariat of the Academy presents, on behalf of its members and its experts, its most saddened condolences and its deep compassion to the government and people of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire.
He bows piously before The Master of the universe, The Almighty, so that He will have mercy on the soul of our dear deceased and forgive him his sins.
May Allah, the Compassionate and Merciful, accept him among the prophets, the martyrs and the righteous.
Finally, the General Secretariat also implores the Lord in order to grant to His Excellency the President of the Republic as well as to the grieving family, the strength to transcend this ordeal with great courage and patience.
_We are all for God and to Him we return ._
