My nomination would be our beloved and amazing uncle Adam Bodiat. He is the muazzin at Omar Farouk masjid in extension 8 and has been for years

His beautiful azaan wakes up, breaks our fast, reminds us of our duties, and brings a smile to our face. The minute he’s not around, the community knows it. We know, he’s away or he is ill

We miss him dearly this past few weeks as he is ill undergoing a procedure. May Allah grant him ease and shifah with aafiyah inshallah.

He is on time, with his health challenges, and his walking stick, to call us to prayer  He always has a smile on his face  His bright blue eyes brightens anyone’s day

He is my 2nd father as I grew up with him. He faced so many challenges in life and still makes a person feel worthy

May Allah grant him this opportunity inshallah

Your consideration will be highly appreciated
