evening. Said roses were emitting a wonderful fragrance that I have never smelt before or after; it remained on my hands for hours.^[1]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! Amir Ahl al-Sunnah’s mother  رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْها was not an ordinary woman. She was close to Allah, patient, thankful, steadfast and remained strong even through difficulties. She gave her children an Islamic upbringing and encouraged them to pray and act upon the sunnah whilst setting an excellent practical example herself. This action of hers may have been liked by Allah, resulting in her departure from this world with her faith intact. After passing away, her face was radiant, and the place of her passing was filled with fragrance. If our Islamic sisters adopt her virtuous character, stand in opposition to Satan and their nafs, follow the beautiful rulings of Shari’ah, fulfil their obligations consistently and make efforts to acquire essential knowledge of Islam, they will attain many blessings and benefits in this world, as well as the Hereafter.

The 17^th of Safar is the date in which Amir Ahl al-Sunnah’s mother passed away. All Islamic brothers should kindly travel on a three-day Madani qafilah and convey the resultant reward to her.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
