Near the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill on Tuesday night, three Muslim students were tragically shot and killed. While the world mourns the sudden and heart-wrenching deaths of 23-year-old Deah Shaddy Barakat, his 21-year-old wife Yusor Mohammad, and her 19-year-old sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, N.C. State freshman basketball player Abdul-Malik Abu posted a heartfelt and touching message on Instagram.
When I heard the news I was in disbelief I couldn’t quite understand how this was possible. I couldn’t wrap my head around the thought of you and your beautiful wife no longer being alive. you supported me before you met me and showed unconditional love when you did. always excited and happy, always willing to joke around about how the season would go. For the short time I’ve known you, you blessed me with the opportunity to attend your wedding a wedding I see as my first real wedding. We didn’t grow up together but when I heard the news I was hurt like I’ve known you my whole life. I just wanna say thank you to you your wife and family for the support and making North Carolina feel like home. Rest in peace brother and sisters may Allah bless all three of you with the highest heaven. I know you’ll always and forever be a NC State supporter. Rest easy my dude
Abu’s N.C. State bio describes the freshman as a “devout Muslim who prays five times a day and fasts during Ramadan.” His emotional post is a tearjerker and a beautiful tribute in remembrance of the lives of these three young people who were taken from us far too soon. Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones.
