Words and Messages for Deceased Fathers
Some of us are experiencing Father’s Day without our fathers, perhaps for the first time or with the same enduring sadness. Just as there are no words to describe this grief, for pain falls where it hits, it is difficult, even impossible, to fully empathize. As with everything, we truly understand the value of our fathers only after we lose them. May Allah grant our deceased fathers a place in Paradise, insha’Allah. We have compiled a collection of words and messages that express the value of our fathers. We wish all our fathers (living and deceased) a Happy Father’s Day.

“If your father leaves; your mountain with smoky peaks leaves. Your ancestor leaves, your back leaves, your plane tree leaves, and you can’t find a place to lean.

If your father leaves; the hand to be kissed leaves. The holiday leaves.” – Can Yücel
