Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.
(Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.)
With heavy hearts, the Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier (IOST) announces the Janazah (funeral prayer) for our beloved brother, Eslam Hegazy, who returned to his Creator this Wednesday.
Br. Eslam was a cherished member of our community for over 19 years and a devoted father and husband. We invite the entire community to join us in prayer to honor his life and ask for his forgiveness.
Janazah Prayer Details:
When: TODAY, Friday, February 27, 2026
Time: 2:00 PM (Immediately after the 2nd Jumuah prayer)
Location: IOST Mosque, 161 Grand Avenue, Johnson City, NY 13850
Important Note regarding Burial:
Please be advised that there will be no burial ceremony following the prayer at IOST. In accordance with the family’s wishes, Br. Eslam will be taken to Egypt for his final resting place, InshAllah.
Condolences & Family:
Br. Eslam leaves behind his beloved wife, Dr. Eman Elatter, and three young children, including his 5-month-old son. We ask that you keep them in your most sincere Duas during this incredibly difficult and traumatic trial.
Dua for the Deceased:
“O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him and give him strength and pardon him. Be generous to him and cause his entrance to be wide and wash him with water and snow and hail. Cleanse him of his transgressions as white cloth is cleansed of stains.”
May Allah (SWT) grant Br. Eslam the highest level of Jannah, accept him as a Shaheed, and grant his family beautiful patience (Sabr Jameel).
