Subject: Passing Away of Hajjah Amina Adil

Importance: High


My dearest Sheikh Nazim Sahib

Assa-la-mo-Alaikum

My name is Zahid Nawaz, I have heard of the death of our spiritual mother Hajja Amina Adil (RA). Indeed this will be another great loss in the world of spirituality. One cannot find the words when such a loss occurs. It leaves us with many thoughts and tears: whom will the believers turn to for spiritual guidance? Who will they now refer to as their spiritual mother?

However, I firmly believe that such deaths are the transfer from one stage to another. Hajjah Amina Adils death is not just her death but in reality it is the death of the entire world.

Her name will continue to live as long as the universe exists because almightily Allah has and will continue to elevate her name, because she remembered him all her life.

My dearest sheikh you may remember me, I have only met you once in Birmingham when I gave you some research papers on international affairs from the House of Commons. You then gave those papers to Sheik hisham kabani. I will not forget that meeting and your lovely sincerity.

I fully understand that this must be a very difficult time for yourself, two weeks ago my grandmother Sarwar Begum passed away and I know how much it hurts emotionally. All I can say is that if I can be of any service to you, please let me know.

I look forward to meeting you gain. (Inshallah)

Wassalam

Your Servant
Zahid Nawaz
