It was a sad day at the Islamic Center of Cleveland this morning and at the eve of Imam Hussein(sa) Arbaeen.

The community met to say goodbye to one of its faithful and fulfilling members who contributed generously to help the establishment of the Muslim community in the area.

Before the Jinaza prayer, Dr. Tirgan family members including Dr Homayoun and Dr Arash and friends including Dr. Sobhani, Dr. Ansari, hajj Mahdi Sohrabi and other friends spoke about Dr. Tirgan services and contributions to their community.

Imam Elahi lead the prayer and spoke about the marhoom’s memories during their hajj and decades of friendships and communications.

Imam Elahi called the late Dr Tirgan a man of faith, family, intellect, integrity, service and sacrifice.

Imam's adviced the marhoom’s children to continue their faithful father’s legacy and contributions to our community and country.
