Feelings, circumstances and events fluctuate with us, but nothing is more painful and sad than the loss of a person who is unique in his loyalty and great qualities.
Yesterday, we bid farewell with believing hearts satisfied with God’s will, our great deceased, His Excellency Professor Dr. Osama Shobokshi – may God have mercy on him – and his highest degree was in Aliyin.
(And it was not for a soul to die except with God’s permission, by a written decree), and I found myself saying goodbye with all pain and sorrow to my great brother, my soul mate, and my dear friend whom God Almighty chose on a holy day of the holy month of fasting, and I have nothing for him but the flood of supplication with the abundance of forgiveness and mercy..
There is no one who does not live without the bitterness of losing a loved one.. But the loss here is different because the deceased was different in everything and different from anything..
He was – may God have mercy on him – a unique personality in terms of knowledge, character, character, depth and interaction.
Over the course of thirty years, I learned from him what cannot be learned in any university or scientific center. Not resorting to accepting half-solutions, teach me how to manage time, teach me how to plan to set a goal and achieve it with the lowest costs and the least effort, teach me how to work as one team.
His body hid in the dirt, so all the memories became embodied, and I thought for a moment that the memories of the past might ease the pain, comfort the afflicted, and fill some of the great void created by his departure, as it deepened the loss, and it shows what a great man had passed away! A man who devoted himself, his time, and his health to his country and his countrymen throughout his practical career.. an academic professor, dean of medicine, then director of a major university, then minister of a thorny ministry, then ambassador of his country in a pivotal country, carrying honorable trust in all positions, serving his king and his countrymen in all locations.. his firm approach is God’s watch. Constant striving to achieve the highest gains.
And from the midst of the difficult events, we realize some facts, as I realized the truth of the great status of the deceased in the hearts of people and in all social circles, and people are witnesses of God in his land.
May God have mercy on the great deceased, who was known for his diligence and toughness in achieving goals, but he was diligent mixed with his kind, transparent spirit, whose truth is known to everyone who knew him closely.
That kind soul that was filled with mercy, humanity, and great affection, other than what it seemed to people.. May God have mercy on him and forgive him.
And if he was absent from us with his body, he remains in us with his immortal works that are always present.
We have nothing left but the patience that God commanded His patient servants.
But we still have a sincere supplication for the size of our sincerity in love and the size of the depth of pain that squeezes us all of what we mentioned.
In conclusion, I console myself for the great loss of her, and console the soul with patience and forbearance. And I offer my sincere and sincere condolences to the dear brother, Ambassador Fawzi Shobokshi, his dear daughter Maya Shobokshi, his protected wife, Dr. Haifa El-Yafi, and all of their family members and to all his friends and lovers.
