Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un (انا لله وانا اليه راجعون) “To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return”
“Bonded by one neighborhood and the microphone for many years, my younger brother and colleague in the Gambian speaking circuit, Alassan Jah has left us for eternity. Indeed our Man, a Man of God, A humble Man, A father and an extremely loving Husband has left us. We have been dealt God’s hands once again and yes, the person He took from us reminds us all of our mortality. With that eternal smile, He lies fast asleep in God’s kingdom while we ponder over why him. Knowing him, I bet he’d have an eloquent explanation for all.”
The Atlanta community mourns the passing of one of their own – Alasan Jah; his passing has left a gaping hole in the Atlanta community. He was a father, a husband, a friend and a community activist, and a natural with a Microphone in his hands. Vintage Alasan, who on this past Sunday was at the Lakewood Stadium, the final day of the July Fourth weekend, hugging and laughing with friends as if he was bidding his good byes to the people he dearly loved.
