Khabib commemorates his father on the first anniversary of his passing

Yesterday former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov marked the one year anniversary of his father’s passing. Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, an iconic figure in Dagestani combat sports, died from complications due to COVID-19 at just 57 years of age.

Nurmagomedov wrote about his father on Instagram.

“Today is already a year since the Father is not with us,” wrote Nurmagomedov. “This event increased my conviction that nothing in this world belongs to us, neither our children, nor our parents, nor our property. All we have is all temporary.”

“Everything belongs to Allah alone and to Him will be our return, tie your hearts to Allah, stay more alone with Him, because the time will come and we will all be put in a grave, where we will be alone, where our friends, relatives, property and our connections will not be, only our deeds and record.
