Remembering Sr. Faridah Hanim

Innalilahi wa inna illaihi ra'jiun.....

Good bye my dearest friend. May Allah accept your ibadah, good deeds and hajj niah for this year. She passed away on February 2, 2008 in Malaysia due to kidney failure. She was 51, survived with Yusoff Chik (husband) and two beautiful grown up children Irfan and Amalina Yusoff.
This is a family picture during Assyifa picnic in June 2007, from left Irfan (son), Br Yusoff (husband), and herself. Her daughter Nina wasn't in Seattle during photo taken.

People especially sisters love her very much and they couldn't believe that she was gone forever. She was such a passionate and sincere person during her lifetime.
Below is notes, story, condolences as much pray during her critical conditions and when she finally passed away.

Some of pictures during ta'jiyah/du'a at Malays gathering. Klik here.

Ina Le Allah wa ina Ilayee Larajeeon,
It is with great sadness and deep sorrow that we have lost a great member in our community Sister Farida Hanim passed away last night from kidney failure. I ask Allah swt to clean her from any sin and may He be pleased with her and accepts all her Ibadah and good deeds. May He enter her in the janat al fardous. I ask Allah swt to give patience to her Family Brother Yusuf, her Daughter Sister Nina and Brother Irfan.
Hum al sabeekoon wa nahnoo Al ahheekoon.
Ya ayatoha al nafs al motmaina Irjaee ila rabekee radaysat mardeya wadkholle fee ibadee wa idkholee janatee.
Please I ask all of us to make a doaah to our beloved Sister Faridah May Allah swt forgive her. With tears falling from my eyes.

Personally I know Sr. Faridah since I moved to Seattle 7 years ago. During the oldies she often used bicycle to visit me. Our friendship has been growing ever since and we've been close to each other during happy and difficult times. She's one of my dearest friend, a sister and I feel very sad and deeply loss to hear this shocking news.
She taught us alot by sincere actions, reached out many people without choosing race or religion. She couldn't and never drove during her lifetime; therefore, public transport was her main transport. Every year we did many projects, events for community and we both enjoyed very much. I called her Martha Stewart ala Malaysian since she was very crafty, paid attention to the details and loved entertaining. Her most well known event was Lady Tea Party. Sisters who were lucky to be invited included both well known Imam's wifes in Bellevue treated as a queen of the day. She will choosed fine china and selected dishes to celebrate this wonderful event.
Sometimes also we argued for such a things but in the end it was for own personal and religion enrichment. I had too many beautiful memories with her but one thing before she left she mentioned that she wants to see Ka'bah with her lovely hubby during Hajj this year.
She died peacefully with smile and tears in her face at Selangor hospital after she heard surah Yassin surrounded by husband, kids, family and friends. She was buried at her hometown Alor Star, Kedah, Malaysia.
Abang Yusoff, Irfan and Nina... may Allah give you strength and patience during this difficult time. Allah knows best for all of us.

Wassalam Wr.Wb

Semoga arwah almarhumah mendapatkan tempat yang layak disisiNya dan diampuni dosa-dosanya.
Kami sangat terkejut berita duka ini , tidak percaya beliau meninggalkan kita secepat ini. Rasanya baru kemarin kita bercanda ria dirumah Br. Hashim dan tidak nampak tanda2 adanya penyakit bagi almarhumah. Allah knows best, semoga ini yang terbaik buat Sr. Farida Hanim.

Semoga Br. Yusuf , Irfan and Nina diberikan ketabahan dalam menghadapi cobaan dari Allah.

INNALILLAHI WAINNAILAIHI ROOJI'UUN.

Four days ago.....she e-mailed us from Malaysia.....
She and her family had planned to go to Bali Island in Indonesia...but Allah called her to a place that all of us will be invited to.

We (the last wedding committee members) all know that she was one of the most important people in the committee because she played a very important job - decorating the wedding stages for both the groom and bride.

Now we missed her at a very sudden...

O Allah...forgive and have mercy upon her...excuse her and pardon her...and make honourable her reception....Expand her entry....and cleanse her with water, snow and ice...and purify her of sin as a white robe is purifiedn of filth...Exchange her home for a better home...Admit her into the Garden (i.e. Jannah)...Protect her from punishment of the grave and the torment of the Fire...Amin.

For pak Yusoff, Irfan and Nina...
Please accept our deepest condolences..may Allah give you all patience and tawakkal...


Wassalam,

Inna lillahi wainna ilaihi rajiun.
Sangat sedih mummy menerima berita kepergian Kak Farida-mu anak,tidak sangka orang yang sebegitu baik,periang,penolong dan suka bersahabat serta masih muda telah pergi mendahului meninggalkan kita semua sechepat itu.
Belum sempat mummy membalas kebaikannya of her precious time spent and warm hospitality extended to mummy when you were very busy at work she was so kind to let me at least see many part of Seattle till late evening,she was so sweet to send me home after inviting mummy to her big and beautiful house and eat at her place with another nice and kind-hearted "anak angkat" mummy,Linda.We were very happy and had fun.
Semoga Allah mengampuni dosanya baik yang disengaja maupun tidak,serta menerima semua amal jariahnya dan membalas kebaikannya dengan tempat yang terbaik disisiNya serta dilapangkan kuburnya dan dilindungi rohnya dari azab kubur,Amin ya Rabbil Aalamin!

Kami sekeluarga turut berduka cita sedalam dalam nya atas berpulangnya ke Rahmatullah saudari kita sister Farida. Semoga amal ibadah beliau di terima Allah dengan sempurna. Dan kepada pak Yusuf dan anak2 semoga sabar dan berlapang dada dalam menghadapi musibah berat ini. Tidak ada sepatah kata pun yang bisa menyejukkan perasaan, hanya Allah lah yang bisa menentramkan hati kita.

Kami sekeluarga sangat terkejut mendengar berita musibah ini. Pikiran dan kenangan2 bersama keluarga pak Yusuf dan sister Farida dalam berbagai acara pengajian terus bersama kami. Doa kami semoga sister Faridah mendapat kemudahan didalam kubur dan Allah menempatkan beliau di jannatul Firdaus.

Inna lillahi wa Ina Ilaihirojiuun

Rasanya masih terasa di lidah ini Lepok Duren buatan nya
Rasanya masih tampak jelas dimata ini sibuk nya engkau mengatur, medekor, memanage malam Hina dan pernikahan br Rayan & sister Wien.
Jika siang tadi kami mendengar suara guntur yg menggelegar, tak akan kami seterkejut saat mendengar kepergianmu.

Sister Farida, tak ada lagi kata2 yang dapat terucap atas kepergianmu, selain du'a semata. Semoga Allah SWT membalas semua amal ibadah mu dan menempatkan mu di Surga Firdaus, Amiin.

Kepada pak Yusuf kami berdu'a semoga Allah SWT memberikan kekuatan, kesabaran dan tawaqal menghadapi ujian Nya, Amin ya robbal alamiin

Asalamu Alaikum

InshaAllah Sister Farida Allah( SWT) will have mercy on her and count all her good deeds which were many, InshaAllah she will be accepted into the highest areas of the heavens.

Please InshaAllah many blessings and strength for Br Yusuf, Sr Nina, Br Irfan. If I could help in any way please let me know.
Yesterday AM I heard she was sick and now she has left on her way into the highest Heavens, InshaAllah ,after having all of her good deeds weighed by those that keep track. May Allah(SWT) have mercy on her.
I am tearing and miss her if their is a janazza gathering let me know, please.

She helped me so much, we had our differences though that is what makes a good friendship, appreciating each other for what we do and who we really are. Many blessings from Allah (SWT) our befecator and guide.
She also had a very big heart full of love and compassion, Thanks to her she made others lives easier.

Assalamu'alaikum,

Ina le Allahi wa Ina Ilayee la rajeeon,

Insya Allah belum terlambat untuk mengutarakan belasungkawa kepada keluarga Sister Farida. Saya dapat berita dari Irma Hanna dan saya sangat terkejut bahwa Sister Farida telah dipanggil kerahmatullah. Namun mohon maaf saya tidak langsung mengutarakan belasungkawa ini - maafkan saya. Saya Derina dan keluarga turut berduka cita atas kepergian sister Farida, insya Allah segala amal ibadahnya diterima oleh Allah dan dibersihkan segala dosa-dosa nya, bagi keluarga yang ditinggalkan semoga diberikan sabar, takwa dan tabah dari Allah.

Dan saya selalu ingat hari pertama saya bergabung pengajian Asy-syifa, sister Farida menawarkan Jilbab kepada saya, dan saya membelinya - Jilbabnya masih ada bersama saya dan kadang saya pakai dipengajian. Insya Allah amal ibadah kak Farida terus berjalan dan selalu diterima oleh Allah dan ditempatkan sister Farida di Firdaus di sisi Allah. Amiin

Wassalamu'alaikum,

Derina, Scot and Family
