To My Beloved Sister’s Children - Alia, Azaraha, and Almitra,

Bi-smi-llahi-r-Rahmani-r-Rahim.
In The Name Of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.
Innā- li-llāhi wa innā iliai-hi rājiʽūn: “We are Allah’s and to Him we shall return.”

My heart is heavy and I am deeply sadden by the loss of your Mother, by beloved sister. We know that Allah is Love. He is all Knowing, Wise and Merciful and His Way is the Right Way. And as we grieve, we must keep in mind that we all have a life term that Allah has assigned to each and everyone of us. The following words are for us to reflect and understand. It will be better for us and will help us have peace in this life.

Chapter 4: Holy Koran, Circle Seven:

3. Death is no enemy of man; it is a friend who, when the work of life is done, just cuts the cord that binds the human boat to earth, that it may sail on smoother seas.
4. No language can describe a mother’s worth, and yours was tried and true. But she was not called hence until her tasks were done.
5. The calls of death are always for the best, for we are solving problems there as well as here; and one is sure to find himself where he can solve his problems best.
6. It is selfishness that makes one wish to call again to earth departed souls.
7. Then let your mother rest in peace. Just let her noble life be strength and inspiration unto you.

I Know your beloved Mother, my sister, Roberta. will enter the higher place; i.e., the Garden wherein rivers flow. It is the promise of Allah for those who are believers of Islam and keep their duty to Allah. My sister, was a Proud Moorish American, who never wavered from Islam.

My love to everyone.

Ma-Sha-Allah.

Your Aunt, Sheikess Maketta E. Osman El

There are no words that can ease the pain of losing a loved one in death. Therefore, I'll let God's Word speak for me. Psalm 147:3 says , He heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds. May our heavenly Father take you under his protective wings to help you through your sorrow. I have found free comforting information on www.jw.org that I think you will also enjoy.
