Yesterday was a sad day for me when I heard about the sudden death of my idol,ustaz Asri Ibrahim, the lead vocal for my favourite Nasyid group, RABBANI.
I read from his facebook mentioned that he just collapsed while performing at RTM at 11.00 a.m yesterday morning.He died of a heart attack.
If I'm not mistaken , he just celebrated his 40th birthday on 3 August this month.He passed away exactly 10 days after his birthday.Like people said, Allah lebih sayangkan dia so we have to redha dengan pemergiannya.
I got to know Rabbani when I was still studying in Australia. Actually ,I went back to Malaysia during summer break that I heard their first Nasyid song. Wow, I instantly fell in love with all their songs. When I went back to Australia, I bought their whole album. I still remember when I use to feel down , I would listen to their song.You just feel so calm when you hear their voices especially Ustaz Asri voice.
My wish really came true when my second sister Hani got married in 2006. Guess what, my dad choose "Rabbani" group to sing during her wedding.I was so mesmerized by their performance.Ustaz Asri voice was beautiful.My favourite song were "Intifada" and "Pergi Tak Kembali".I was so excited to meet him personally that I asked Mr Farrish to take picture of him. He was so friendly and always smiling.
Mr Farrish was also a big fan of him too.I still remember when we went for a holiday in Malacca, he bumped to him at the R n R highway toilet.Faheem also had a chance to meet him.He was cool as ever.
This coming Hari Raya, we will not hear his voice anymore for Takbir Raya in RTM or Astro.Ustaz Asri has " Pergi Tak Kembali" just like his song. My wish that semoga rohnya dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan di kalangan orang beriman. Al Fatihah.
