On behalf of the North American Imams Fellow (NAIF), we extend our deepest condolences to the family, community, and all loved ones of Imam and Sheikh Mahmoud Sulaiman, who has returned to his Lord after a lifetime of service and devotion.

Sheikh Mahmoud Sulaiman was a pillar of faith and guidance for the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix since 2002, and his wisdom, compassion, and dedication touched the hearts of countless individuals in Phoenix and beyond[1][3]. He was loved by his community, respected by his peers, and served as a beacon of unity and knowledge, always striving to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and understanding among all people[3].

May Allah, the Most Merciful, forgive his shortcomings, accept all his good deeds, and grant him the highest place in Jannatul Firdaus. May Allah make his grave spacious and filled with light, and grant patience and strength to his family and community during this difficult time[6][9]. We pray that Allah accepts him among His beloved servants and rewards him for his tireless efforts in spreading the teachings of Islam and serving humanity.

May his legacy continue to inspire us all.

Signed,  

Dr. Abdulhakim Mohamed
