Mourning...

Surah Ya-Sin :83
"So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back."
"Fasubhana allathee biyadihimalakootu kulli shay-in wa-ilayhi turjaAAoona"

Assalamu alaykum,

last Friday proved to be a very long one...for many reasons!

After writing this post , my dh received a call from abroad. Sad news :(

One of my sisters in-law passed away, Allah Akbar! Inna lillahi wa inna illahi rajeun!

We are so sad about it and the kids have been asking lots of questions about death as expected.

I have tried to answer most of the questions using the little knowledge I have on the subject.

We made a search engine and found few good Islamic website. We also talked about how a janaza prayer is performed and where the soul goes after it leaves the body.

We feel so sad but accept Allah's decree and that's what makes us Muslims. We hold onto Allah's plans as He is the Best Planner! Please remember my family in your dua'as and specially my sister in-law, may Allah have mercy on her soul.Amin
