In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful,
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon.
To our dearest Usman Bhai, Samara and Zaki,
We were so so privileged to have known our Aafrine Baji đź©· She always made us so happy and we loved every moment we were around her. We have beautiful memories of her first dance with Usman Bhai at their wedding, the races against each other on the bouncy castle in the garden, and the quiz competition at your house (where it was fair to say that the girls won, due to a little bit of cheating by the boys team!!).
She was a shining star, a ray of sunshine and a beacon of light in all our lives. She truly embodied the teachings of compassion and kindness found in the Quran and exemplified by our Prophet Muhammad SAW. She touched the hearts of all of us and we are very blessed by Allah for gifting us with her presence in our lives.
Allah is the Most Kind, Most Just and the Best of All Planners. Every soul has a predetermined time to return to its Creator. And just as her presence was a gift from Allah, her departure is also part of His divine plan.
Even though we all miss her greatly, we find great solace in the ayah, “To Allah we belong, and to Him we shall return” (Quran 2:156) as this reminds us that life is temporary, and our ultimate destination is with Allah.
Usman Bhai you have been so strong over these past few years and despite everything you have continued to bring joy, smiles and laughter to not only those around you, but also to our beautiful Aafrine Baji. The Prophet SAW said “the best among you are those who are best to their wives”. You exemplified this wholeheartedly. Your love, respect, dedication, commitment and support, not only on a physical level, but also on an emotional and spiritual level, could never be matched. We pray Allah rewards you immensely and that you walk hand in hand together with Aafrine Baji to Jannatul Firdaws surrounding by your two beautiful children and parents.
Samara and Zaki, you both have been such an inspiration to all of those who know you. Already it is evident to see that both of you will in’sha’Allah continue her beautiful legacy of her unwavering love and kindness to all. You are a wonderful Sadaqah Jariyah to your mum and we pray that all of us will be reunited soon in Jannatul Firdaws where we will experience joy and happiness forever!! Ameen.
Your beautiful family has always meant so much to us, you are all in our duas.
Love the Syed Family xxx
