From my sister's email (some parts have been edited)


Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Assalamualaikum wr wb

Just want to let eveyone know that my mom, Sharifa Zainab bte Mohamed Binsyahab has passed away this morning (yesterday morning) and requesting for everybody's do'a for her. She has fulfilled her duty as a mother and now it's left for the children to fulfill their duty...

I'm really grateful to Allah for giving me such a wondeful mum...

A mum who read 'Riyadhul Saliheen' for our bed-time story...

A mum who always says, 'obey your father even though you don't agree with him, you'll see the barakah from it'..

A mum who still answers my friend's question on prayers while she's in her sick-bed..

A mum who rarely sees nor speaks to her non-mahram...

A mum who always guides me through my ups and downs..

A mum who always reminds me that our aim in life is to get closer to Allah...

A mum who is my best friend..

Allahumma ghfirlaha warhamha wa 'afiha wa'fu 'anha.

May Allah and His angels greet her and may she attain a better place than she had before, a better companion and a better life.. and may we meet again in the Final Day.

Al-fatihah.
