(Translated)

In Tatarstan, the 14th of March 2015 CE was declared as a day of sadness for the death of many due to a fire at the Admiral Shopping Center, where fire claimed the lives of dozens of people. It saddens us, especially that among the victims identified was Ewolduchov Biggsodbek (Asadullah), who was known and loved by many Muslims in the city of Kazan. Brother Asadullah was working at this center, according to eyewitnesses he died while rushing to save the people asking for help.

Ewolduchov Biggsodbek (Asadullah) was born on 14/12/1994; he was born and raised in the city of Andijan in Uzbekistan. When he reached the age of ten he traveled to Russia with his parents in search of a better life. Asadullah grew up in Russia and learned Islam in depth and began to convey it to the people. His kindness was seen by everyone who knew him, and they all realized the extent of the embodiment of the Islamic ideology in him.

We like to offer the relatives and friends of the late Ewolduchov Asadullah our sincere condolences, Ina Lilah Wa Ina Ilaihi Raji'oon (To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return), and we ask Allah (swt) to forgive all the sins of our brother and grant him the entrance into His wide paradise, and to place him with the Prophets, Sidiqeen, Martyrs, and the Righteous and those are the best companions.

The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:

"الشَّهَادَةُ سَبْعٌ سِوَى الْقَتْلِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ؛ الْمَطْعُونُ شَهِيدٌ، وَالْغَرِقُ شَهِيدٌ، وَصَاحِبُ ذَاتِ الْجَنْبِ شَهِيدٌ، وَالْمَبْطُونُ شَهِيدٌ، وَصَاحِبُ الْحَرِيقِ شَهِيدٌ، وَالَّذِي يَمُوتُ تَحْتَ الْهَدْمِ شَهِيدٌ، وَالْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ بِجُمْعٍ شَهِيد"

"There are seven kinds of martyrdom other than being killed in the way of Allah: one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who is drowned is a martyr; one who dies of pleurisy is a martyr; one who dies of an internal complaint is a martyr; one who is burnt to death is a martyr; one who is killed by a building falling on him is a martyr; and a woman who dies while pregnant is a martyr" (Narrated by Abu Daoud and Nasa'i).
