"Nature's power is stronger than all of us" — Eric Adams mourns 2 young Muslims drowned in Bronx

The Bronx community is reeling from a heartbreaking incident that claimed the lives of two young souls. Aisha and Zainab Mohammed, residents of the Bronx, tragically drowned, leaving behind a void that will be felt by all who knew them. In the Islamic faith, those who drown are considered Shahids, or martyrs, and our thoughts and prayers go out to their grieving parents.

Mayor Eric Adams of New York City expressed his condolences, stating, “My heart goes out to Aisha and Zainab Mohammed’s family and friends, as well as the entire African Muslim community. It is devastating that we have lost two beautiful girls who had their whole lives ahead of them. Nature’s power is stronger than all of us. May God bless their family and provide them with healing and comfort during this difficult time.”

The loss of these two young lives serves as a somber reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing each moment. As the community comes together to mourn and offer support to the grieving family, let us find solace in the holy scriptures and pray for the eternal peace of Aisha and Zainab Mohammed.

In times like these, it is crucial for us to stand united, regardless of our backgrounds or beliefs. Let us extend our love and support to the grieving family, offering strength and compassion during this unimaginably difficult journey. May Aisha and Zainab rest in eternal peace, and may their memories be a source of inspiration for us all.
