Janazah 11/19/2024

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of a very well-known and respected member of our community: Dr. Hamid Sheikh.

إِنَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

Indeed, to Allah we belong, and indeed, to Him we return.

May Allah accept him into the highest level of Jannah and give patience and courage to his family to bear this huge loss.

Dr. Hamid Sheikh was one of the founding members of the Masjid Bilal community and played a pivotal role in uniting the community and bringing harmony to the Muslims of Lexington. By the will of Allah, his tenacity and energy were the fuel which built that bridge. And without that, we cannot imagine what form our community, of which we are so proud, would have taken.

We are indebted to Dr. Sheikh and his wonderful family. We pray that Allah forgives his faults, accepts the best of his deeds, and gives him Paradise. Ameen.

The Janazah Prayer and burial will be held on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 1:00 PM at Blue Grass Memorial Gardens Cemetery (4915 Harrodsburg Road, Nicholasville, KY 40356).
