Seeking Guidance on a Tribute to a Muslim Friend

As-salamu alaykum everyone, I'm reaching out because I want to make sure I'm being respectful. I lost a dear friend this weekend, and I'm planning to honor his memory by creating a custom pendant. Since he was Muslim, I'm thinking of engraving 'Forever Seventeen' in Arabic on it, as he was 17 when he passed away. I just want to double-check that this idea doesn't overstep any boundaries in his faith. JazakAllah khair for any advice!

That's a really thoughtful idea, bro. As long as you ensure the calligraphy is done well and respectfully, I think it's a beautiful tribute.

Wa alaikum assalam. Consider 'عمره سبعة عشر' ('His age was seventeen') or just the number ١٧. 'Forever' can be tricky in translation. Consult a local imam to be safe, may Allah grant your friend Jannah.
