“His light will never fade,” the daughters of murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi vowed in a moving new letter.

“His legacy will be preserved within us,” daughters Noha and Razan wrote of the murdered dissident and US legal resident they loved and revered as their “Baba.”

“Baba said it best: ‘Some depart to remain,’ which rings true today,” the daughters wrote for The Washington Post, where Khashoggi had written his critiques of his home country’s government.

“We feel blessed to have been raised with his moral compass, his respect for knowledge and truth, and his love,” the daughters wrote, adding, “Until we meet again in the next life.”

The sisters said that following their father’s Oct. 2 death inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey — deemed by the CIA and other international investigators to be a Saudi state-ordered murder — “his absence was deafening” inside their Virginia home.

“He had chosen to write so tirelessly,” they wrote, in the hope that one day his native land “might be a better place for him and all Saudis.”
