With profound sorrow and grief, the Dean of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Basra mourns the passing of the late, God willing, employee, Mr. Mazen Abdul Rahim Mohammed, who passed away after a distinguished career of service to the college, during which he was a model of dedication, commitment, and kindness.

As we extend our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to his family, colleagues, and loved ones, we ask God Almighty to grant him His abundant mercy, admit him to His spacious Paradise, and grant his family and loved ones patience and solace.

To God we belong, and to Him we shall return.
