Shadi, Jad al-Haqq, and Layan Muhammad al-Sayyid al-Aker

I have become a body without a soul, without life, without a heart, without years. My soul and my life's companion was my precious, righteous wife, the shaheeda Suha Munir al-Aker (Hamdan), who knew the Book of God by heart, a woman of fine character, polite, forgiving, and of good reputation. My life and my shadow was my son, the shaheed Shadi Muhammad al-Aker. My heart and its core was my son, the shaheed Jad al-Haqq Muhammad al-Aker. My years and my tenderness were my daughter, the shaheeda Layan Muhammad al-Aker. I consider them martyrs in the eyes of God. "Truly, to God we belong and truly, to Him we shall return." Oh God, unite me with them in the gardens of Paradise, in the company of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
