On his Instagram, he shared an image of him embracing his father. Along with this, he has included a verse from the Holy Quran. He wrote, “Quran 17:23-24,
“And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], “uff,” and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, “My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small.”

Beneath the verse as per RT, the UFC Lightweight Champion addressed his followers in Russian.
He wrote, “I will miss you Father, you were a Father, a friend, brother and coach in one person. You tough me almost everything I know, I hope that you were happy with me. The contentment of parents is the contentment of Allah.”
Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov had been in hospital since the beginning of May due to pneumonia which turned out to be the coronavirus. The patriarch recovered from the virus, but he suffered from complications that weakened him. He had undergone a bypass just a few months ago which played a role in his health deteriorating rapidly.
Nurmagomedov Sr reportedly went in and out of comas for some time in late May. Later on, in June, ‘The Eagle’ shared a heartfelt post about his father’s condition.

Even UFC President Dana White has said that they are giving ‘The Eagle’ time and will not rush him to fight again.
