Alhamdulillah, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has granted approval for the remains of late Alh. Aminu Dantata to be buried in the Holy land of Madinah!

Arrangements are ongoing for his Janazah tomorrow, insha Allah, in the Holy Prophet’s mosque.

May Allah accept the prayers of all well wishers, forgive him, shower him with His mercy, and grant him Jannatul-Firdaws, Ameen!

Late Alh. Aminu Dantata's long-term wish was to be laid to rest in the Holy Prophet’s city of Madinah.

Arrangements for approval from Saudi authorities to move the corpse from Abu Dhabi to Madinah are still ongoing. If it prolongs, the corpse will be brought back to Kano for burial.

May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him Jannah-tul-Firdaws. Ameen.

The family of the late industrialist, Alhaji Aminu Dantata, has revealed that he will be buried in Madina next to his wife, Rabi’a, who died in 2023, in accordance with his final wishes.

Following his death in Abu Dhabi on Friday night, a funeral prayer in absentia was held in Kano on Saturday.

The Kano State chapter of the Council of Ulama organized the Salatul Ghaib; a special prayer offered for the deceased when the body is not present to honour the elder statesman and philanthropist.

The prayer attracted thousands of people from Kano and beyond.

Levelssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Who noticed that I omitted a 's'

😋

🥵

Ohh wow! They pulled it off!
May his soul rest in peace.

When you have money you will live above some rules.

Rich or poor, that is a debt we all have to pay because no man is born to live forever.

There are levels to these things. I remember the video where eminent Nigerians did not consider themselves worthy to shake Dantata's hand.

Nigerians are something else. You literally have your own country here but you would rather be buried in another man's land instead of your ancestral home all because of religion.

Same with some delusional Christians that run off to one so called Holy land.

With money, you can do and undo things alive or dead. Money too good abeg

RIP


This will make the forum more interesting for everyone.

TenQ:
This one na paradise straight... To be Buried in medina!...

Na he failed to submit his application to paradise before the 24hr deadline, na post-paradise exam he go take now. To repeat life

Honestly speaking money can break any rules any where in the world not only in Nigeria. According to Saudi rules, nobody can be buried in Madinah expect if u died in that city. Even if u died in neighbouring towns near the Madinah or any where in that country u can never be buried in Madinah.

So moslem follow do embalmment. This is pure haram. Moslem Religion respect level's, if nah poor Nigerian president, governor and their Senate/House of rep member, maggot for start him duty for their grave since. Rest on CEO Dantata group of companies.
