May I ask you to read these words without paying attention to the name of their author and considering that the author of these words is one of the people?
A few days ago, an exceptional personality passed away from our world.
God Almighty chose to be with him on Friday morning in the first ten days of the blessed month of Ramadan, Uncle Dr. Osama Shobokshi, after a lifetime and an honorable struggle in which he served his religion and his country honorably. He was known for his seriousness, rigor, and strength in being very keen on implementing the system, yet he was seeking by all possible means to help people, with a strong balance between applying the system and taking into account the people and their interests.
His reputation, which was built up during his work in the public sphere for many decades, regarding the strength and intensity of his personality, did not cancel out what was known about him to everyone who was exposed to this type of situation with him about his close tears and his very strong impact on the human situations that brought him back and his close tears in his eyes affected by them.
I was close to him in recent years, and I found in him the second father after the loss of my father, and he may have found his son in me after the loss of his son Abdul Majeed. His advice was wisdom, his experiences were experience, and his speech was eloquent. He went through great events that shaped and refined his personality. Patience was his motto, and his certainty in God was great in the sense that God is with the patient.
He was influenced by the German school of thinking by virtue of his living and studying for a very long time there, and after that he worked as an ambassador there, and I remember a word addressed by Angela Merkel, the former German chancellor to him, after his deanship of the diplomatic corps there, in which she said, “You think like us, clear, frank and direct, there are no unpleasant surprises in dealing with you".
His professional achievements speak for themselves at every stage of his life, and those who knew him on a personal level realized the meanings of loyalty, loyalty, credibility, and honesty in dealing with him.
Since the announcement of the news of his death, may God Almighty have mercy on him, my phone has not stopped receiving calls and messages of condolences to hundreds of personalities that I know and most of whom I do not know, from all over our dear country and abroad. Some of them cried, and some of them narrate great situations with him, and some say that the deceased contributed to a great change in his life. People are God's martyrs on earth, Glory be to Him who planted the magnitude of that immense love for the departed in the hearts of people.
The waterfalls of love that overwhelmed us as his family made us aware of the fact that the size of his large family of lovers who knew him, or lovers who heard about him, did not stop sincerely praying for him for mercy, forgiveness, and the highest paradise in heaven.
I was aware of the status of the deceased in social circles in general, but I really did not realize the great extent of his love in the hearts of people until after his departure, may God have mercy on him.
His health suffering has greatly increased in recent years, and he was aware, with his medical sense, that he was facing a difficult battle in which neither age nor the disease itself helped him, but it is a term and every term has a book. He who was righteous to his parents, brother, wife, son, daughter and family has passed away.
Dr. Osama Shobokshi passed away after leaving an important legacy of high morals, diligent work, dedication, sincerity and achieved achievement based on fear and piety of God. All who knew him will miss him, and all who hear of him will have mercy on him. Oh God, have mercy on my dear uncle, Dr. Osama Shobokshi, and make him dwell in your spacious gardens, in the highest paradise. He fulfilled the trust and departed to you, and we are witnesses to that. We belong to God and to Him we shall return.
