To the soul, basil, and Lord who is not angry.
I mourn my sheikh, my beloved, and the crown of my head, Abu Abdul Rahman Rizq Al-Gharabli.
God ascended as a martyr in this blessed battle.
God Almighty honored me by allowing me to study under him in recitation and Tajweed courses, from the qualifying course until I received my license with a continuous chain of transmission of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in absentia, over a period of five years, from 2011 to 2015.
I was closely associated with him during this period, and he was a true Quranic scholar in his lifetime. He was a role model for me and others, and I was and still am always proud of him and of being his student. Everyone envied me for him.
I saw in him the best father and husband to his family and home. He was both a father and mother to his children during the specialization phase of his wife, Dr. Wissal. He provided for all their children's needs, from clothing and cooking to organizing the house, despite his many busy schedules. He supported her in her specialization and in obtaining the Arab Board in Family Medicine. I still remember my sessions with him in his home to read to him. He divided his time between He listened to me, took care of his children, and cooked for them while his wife was at work. I saw in him a dutiful son to his parents. He was close to them and made sure to eat at least one meal with them every day. He taught them everything about his life, like a child in need of them. During his master's degree, he would inform his father, Abu Wael, of his grades in the required subjects. His father encouraged him, honored him for his excellence, and was proud of him in every situation. May God bless them both. He was the best father to his children, and he was keen for them to be raised around the table of the Quran. He would accompany Abdul Rahman and Osama to our sessions, and he would spend half the time joking with them and taking care of their needs when they were still children. May God protect him, he was a beacon of the Quran in the Al-Amal neighborhood, and a motivating lamp for all those working in the recitation and tajweed courses. Most of the teachers of the rulings courses were his students. He would tell me about his efforts and the hardship he faced in obtaining them. He would go to Nusayrat weekly to read with his Sheikh Bilal Imad, and he would never stop, no matter the circumstances. The meeting, and he would not miss a course in any mosque without leaving a present mark in it. He preferred beginner courses more than advanced courses, in order to attain the greatest reward. I remember one day when he delighted me with the large number of people he had taught when he was completing his doctorate in Malaysia. He brought out the muhaddith from all over the world. I also remember the school he helped establish there for the children of Arab Muslims. May Allah be pleased with him, he supported me in my studies and in my work in the field of the Qur’an and memorization centers, and in my work in medicine. He was always the first to ask questions, and he was a great sheikh, father, and educator for me. It would take too long to speak about him, and words cannot describe our grief over his loss. But it is enough for us that he ascended to God Almighty as a martyr. I offer my condolences to all his family, especially his parents, wife, children, relatives, and everyone who knew him. I also offer my condolences to the Al-Amal neighborhood, which continues to provide its children. To God we belong and to Him we shall return. To Him all matters return. So worship Him and put your trust in Him. Your Lord is unaware of what they do.

إلى روح وريحان ورب غير غضبان
أنعى شيخي وحبيبي وتاج رأسي أبو عبد الرحمن رزق الغرابلي
فقد ارتقى الله شهيدا في هذه المعركة المباركة
أكرمني الله عزوجل بالتتلمذ على يديه في دورات التلاوة والتجويد من الدورة التأهيلية وحتى إجازتي بالسند المتصل لحضرة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم غيبا في خمس سنوات، من العام 2011 - 2015
صحبته عن قرب في هذه الفترة وقد كان نعم رجل القران في حياته، فكان قدوة لي ولغيري، وكنت ولا زلت أفتخر به دوما وأنني تلميذ له، وكان الجميع يغبطني عليه
رأيت فيه نعم الأب والزوج لأهله بيته، فقد كان الأب والأم لابنائه خلال مرحلة الاختصاص لزوجته الطبيبة د وصال، فكانه يقوم بكل احتياجات أبنائه من ملابس وطبخ وترتيب للبيت رغم انشغالاته العديدة، وكان داعما لها في اختصاصها وحصولها على البورد العربي في تخصص طب الأسرة، ولا زلت أذكر جلساتي معه في بيته للقراءة عليه، فكان يقسم وقته بين السماع لي والاهتمام بأبنائه ومتابعة أمور الطبخ لهم وقت دوام زوجته
ورأيت فيه الابن البار لوالديه، فقد كان قريبا منهما، ويحرص أن يتناول معهم وجبة طعاما واحدة على الأقل يوميا، وكان يُعلمهم كل شيء عن حياته كالطفل المفتقر إليهما، فكان في مرحلة الماجستير يبلغ والده أبو وائل بدرجاته في المواد المقررة، وكان والده يشجعه ويكرمه على تميزه، وكان يفتخر به في كل موطن.. لله درُّهما
وكان نعم الأب لابنائه، فكان حريصا عليهم أن يتربوا على مائدة القران، فكان يصحب عبد الرحمن وأسامة في جلساتنا، وكان يقضي نصف الوقت يمازحهم ويقوم على حاجتهم يوم أن كانوا أطفالا حينها
وكان حفظه الله منارة القران في منطقة حي الأمل، وكان القنديل الحافز لحميع العاملين في دورات التلاوة والتجويد، فقد تتلمذ على يديه جُلُّ مدرسي دورات الأحكام، وكان يحدثني عن سعيه ومشقته في الحصول عليها، فكان يذهب للنصيرات أسبوعياً للقراءة على شيخه بلال عماد، فكان لا ينقطع مهما كانت الظروف عن اللقاء، وكان لا يترك دورة في أي مسجد إلا أن تكون له بصمة حاضرة فيها، وكان يحب الدورات المبتدئة أكثر من المتقدمة، وذلك لينال الثواب الأكبر
وأذكر له يوما أن استسرني بالعدد الكبير الذي خرجه على يديه يوم أن كان يكمل مسيرة الدكتوراة في ماليزيا، فخرج المسندين من شتى بقاع الأرض، وأذكر له المدرسة التي ساهم بانشائها هناك لأبناء العرب المسلمين
وكان رضي الله عنه داعما لي في دراستي وفي عملي في مجال القران ومراكز التحفيظ وفي عملي بالطب، وكان المبادر بالسؤال دوما، فكان نعم الشيخ والاب والمربي لي
إن الكلام في حقه يطول
وإن الكلمات لا تستطيع وصف وجعنا لفقده
لكن حسبنا أنه ارتقى لله عزوجل شهيدا
أتقدم بالعزاء لأهله جميعا
وعلى رأسهم والديه وزوجته وأبنائه وأنسابه وكل من يعرفه
وأتقدم بالعزاء لمنطقة حي الأمل التي لا زالت تقدم فلذات أكبادها
إنا كل لله .. وإنا كل إليه راجعون
وإليه يُرجع الأمر كله
فاعبده وتوكل عليه
وما ربك بغافل عما يعملون
