FAJR REMINDER: SHE LEFT THIS WORLD
By: Umm Affān
Ramaḍān 11, 1447 (28-February-2026)
O brethren! Let us exercise caution towards those who have strayed due to the misguided attitudes regarding the companions of the Prophet (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhum). These individuals are known to insult and curse them, despite the serious warnings from the Prophet (ﷺ) against such behavior. Abū Sa’īd al-Khudri reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do not insult my companions. If one of you were to spend the likes of Mount Uhud in gold (i.e., in charity), it would not reach a small portion of theirs or even half of that.” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 3673, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2540]
Who among us disobeys the Prophet (ﷺ) if not those doomed? These people audaciously accuse and slander Ā’ishah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha) concerning matters that Allāh exonerated her from long ago. They even utter blasphemous statements about their Creator (Allāh), the Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ), and Angel Jibreel (‘Alayhi Salām). Indeed, I refer to the Shi’a. I implore you, do not endorse their destructive ideologies. We seek Allāh’s Protection from ruin.
No human is granted immortality. Nearly forty-seven years after the Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) departed, it was time for his beloved wife, Ā’ishah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha), to leave this world as well. In her sixty-sixth year (according to one account), during the fifty-eighth year of Hijrah, Ā’ishah faced her final illness and ultimately passed away. Reports indicate that this occurred on the seventeenth of Ramaḍān. Abū Hurayrah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) led her funeral prayer, and she was laid to rest in Baqī.
Subḥānallāh! This is Ā’ishah (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anha). Despite having no children, she remains our mother, cherished by all of us. She is an inspiring example in the hearts and minds of the Muslim Ummah. I beseech Allāh to continually bestow His Mercy upon our great mother, Umm ‘Abdillāh Ā’ishah Bint Abī Bakr—the beloved wife of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) and the daughter of his dear friend. Aameen.
