Neighbours, parents from the children’s school, and many others from the community had been waiting outside the mosque since noon to pay their respects

Extended family also flew in from abroad to attend the funeral. Earlier in the day, Awqaf officials and family members shrouded the boys at the Abu Dhabi central morgue. Their mother, was informed of their passing after her surgery and was able to see them one last time before the burial.

Their bodies arrived from the Abu Dhabi morgue to Al Shuhada Masjid around 3pm.

The heartbreaking incident…

The family was involved in a tragic car crash while returning to Dubai from the Liwa festival. Their car reportedly hit a median and flipped twice. Three of the boys, aged 14, 12, and 5, died at the scene along with the housemaid, while the youngest, 7, passed away later in hospital.

The parents and their only surviving child, a 10-year-old girl, are recovering from injuries at a hospital in Abu Dhabi. Despite his severe injuries, the father requested to be discharged early so he could make it to the funeral prayers and burial of his sons in  Dubai.

Family members said they hope to return to their hometown in Kerala soon.
