Al Fatihah

It's 730 am. My phone rang. Saw the number, it's the house number. Must be my wake up call. YEp, a wake up call allright.

My mom informed me that we had just lost a neighbor. So iasked which one? and the usual thing ran across my head, must be one of the seniors but my mom's answer just really woke me up and reminisce my primary school days. It was my neighbor's eldest daughter who is just 37. She passed away last night of cervical cancer and my mom was told that it spread so fast, in just 2 weeks.

Al Fatihah to Yasmin bt Hashim, 1970 - 2007.

Im just lost for words. Arwah has school going kids, and I dont know if i have the strength to go over and pay my last respects. God knows how i feel at the moment. We always say that people have untimely deaths, but, actually, for a Muslim, there is no such thing as untimely death. The Angel Of Death would just come and do the job when it is time, which we never know. We have to accpet the Qadha and Qadhar of ALLAH. To the family of Uncle Hashim Musa, my condolences to all of you. May ALLAH place her soul in one of HIS seven heavens. Insya ALLAH.

Jazakallahu Khair

Nurin laid to rest

KUALA LUMPUR: Nurin Jazlin Jazimin, 8, was buried on Friday at 2.30pm at the Dana Kota Muslim cemetery here.

Family members were seen crying, as were the many people who came to pay their last respects.

Norazian Bistaman sprinkling holy water on her daughter Nurin's grave.

The area surrounding the cemetery was packed as mourners from all walks of life, touched by the family's plight, came to offer condolences and join in the prayers.

Nurin Jazlin's father, Jazimin Abdul Jalil, went to Hospital Kuala Lumpur on Friday morning to take the body home for the burial rites.

On Thursday, Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar confirmed that the results of the DNA test done on the blood sample taken from the dead girl matched that of Jazimin, 33, and his wife Norazian, 35.

Both parents were at first adamant that the body found stuffed in a sports bag was not their daughter, saying the body did not look like Nurin.

The parents said that Nurin had a scar on her thigh and that her teeth did not have gaps like that found on the body.

Semoga ahli keluarga arwah adik Nurin *who could be the age of my own daughter* banyak-banyak bersabar menerima dan redha dengan ketentuan ini. Sesungguhnya dari ALLAH kita datang, dan kembali yang pasti kepadaNYA juga. Cuma cara yang bagaimana dan bila, Wallahualam.

Ya ALLAH Ya Tuhanku, Yang Maha Pemurah, yang Maha Penyayang, yang Maha Pengampun dan Maha Menguasai atas segala sesuatu, berikan kekuatan dan kesabaran kepada kami dalam menempuhi dugaanMu Ya ALLAH. Ya ALLAH, sesungguhnya, Engkaulah yang Maha Adil, maka, berikanlah keadilan kepada arwah Nurin yang telah ke alam Barzakh menanti hari yang dijanjikanMU, Ya ALLAH. Berilah keadilan kepada beliau di dunia mahupun di akhirat. Sesungguhnya hanya kepadaMU aku bermohon. Amin.

Jazakallhu Khair
