Sheikh Shakur Abdullah Bolden "The Man" Among Men ... تغمده الله برحمةه

And Glad Tidings To The Patient…

ببالغ الحزن والأسى، وقلوب مؤمنة بقضاء الله وقدره، ننعي أخانا في الإسلام، الشيخ شكور بولدن، المعروف بـ"رجل الضرائب". إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون. اللهم اغفر له وارحمه واسكنه فسيح جناتك. وألهم أهله وذويه الصبر والسلوان. اللهم اغسله بالماء والثلج والبرد، ونقه من الذنوب والخطايا كما ينقى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس. اللهم ابدله أهلاً خيراً من أهله، وداراً خيراً من داره. إنه أقبل عليك، وأنت الجواد الأكرم، ولاذ بجوارك، وأنت البر الرحيم. أكرم نزله، ووسع مدخله، وآنس وحشته. عظم الله أجركم، وأحسن الله عزاكم، وغفر الله لميتكم، وأسكنه فسيح جناته، يا رب العالمين.

With deep sadness and sorrow, and hearts that believe in God's will and destiny, we mourn our brother in Islam, Sheikh Shakur Bolden ie "The Tax Man". To God we belong and to Him we shall return. O God, forgive him, have mercy on him, and grant him a place in your spacious gardens. May God inspire his family and loved ones with patience and solace.

O God, wash him with water, snow and hail, and purify him from sins and faults as a white garment is purified from filth. O God, replace his family with a better family and his home with a better home.

He came to you, and you are the most generous and honorable. He sought refuge in you, and you are the most gracious and most merciful. Honor his stay, expand his entrance, and relieve his loneliness. May God reward you greatly and console you. May God forgive your deceased and grant him a place in His spacious gardens, O Lord of the worlds.

Shakur Bolden

      Sheikh Shakur Abdullah Bolden, "The Man" Among Men...

Sheikh. Shakur Abdullah Bolden returned to Allah this morning (June 4, 2025). In addition to his service and dedication to the Muslim community, Br. Shakur was a loving father and grandfather, and a devoted husband to Sis. Na’ilah Jihad, who preceded him in returning to Allah. Br. Shakur was a foundational pillar of Jacksonville's Muslim community, helping to establish ICNEF and serving long-term in various leadership roles at the masjid over the past 40+ years, including President of the Board, Treasurer, Board Member, and member of Al-Furqan Academy's Board. Though a private man, he was a public face of and fierce advocate for the community during challenging and tumultuous times, including post-9/11. Br. Shakur valued Islamic education and learning and read hundreds of books that helped shape his understanding of Islam. He shared this knowledge with others through serving as a khatib in years past, giving dawah at local jails, helping to establish weekly Sunday School at ICNEF, and serving as a Sunday School teacher himself. He was a trusted advisor to community members of all ages, and a man of great iman, integrity, and honor. He worked tirelessly fi sabilillah in support of the Muslim community, particularly those most marginalized and in most need. May Allah (SWT) be pleased with him, forgive his shortcomings, and grant him Jannatul firdaus.  
Salatul Janazah will take place at ICNEF on Friday, June 6th at 3pm (immediately after the 2:30pm Jummah prayer), followed by burial at 3:15pm at Chapel Hills Memory Gardens (850 St. Johns Bluff Rd N). The community is invited to visit with Br. Shakur’s family and share memories, condolences, and food on Friday, June 6th 6-8pm at ICNEF.
