Back Story In October 2020, Sherin at the age of 25 attended A&E with severe abdominal pain. Doctors assumed it was an appendix issue or burst cyst, but a few days later it was confirmed that it was in fact cancer and that she only had a few short weeks left. In November 2020 Sherin left us and returned back to Allah SWT. Sherin was loved by so many, mainly due to her caring, selfless and affectionate nature for others. Over the past few months since her sudden and unexpected demise, there has been an outpour of emotion and love from the community. She has been described as an 'angelic' individual, with the ‘most beautiful soul'. She is 'irreplaceable', 'a special person' and ‘an enlightened being' to quote some of her many beautiful characteristics. I cannot begin to describe what she meant to us, but one word that comes to mind is 'example'...an example of the perfect daughter, sister, cousin, niece, auntie, colleague, and above all a dear friend. Her smile was contagious. Her personality was compassionate. A wholesome individual with a heart of gold. During her last few weeks, she was in immense chronic pain. Despite this she showed such strength and courage comforting those around her, being positive and bearing the pain and grief. She eventually left peacefully with her loved ones surrounding her just like she wanted. Despite her unforeseen terminal diagnosis, she had an attitude that was filled with mercy and kindness. May Allah Ta’ala accept her as a martyr. She has left behind two grief stricken parents and five heart broken siblings who are still suffering with the shock of such a huge and painful loss. Although she may not be with us in person, she leaves behind lessons and an example that we can all learn from. She was very generous, be it with her time & wisdom. Our love and compassion for Sherin has led us to strive to continue Sherin's legacy and also build our own with the ceaseless charity (Sadaqah-Jariyah). May Allah SWT grant her peace in the grave, forgiveness and mercy on the day of judgement and for us to be with her in Jannah, Ameen. "When a man dies all his good deeds come to an end except three: Ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge and a righteous child who prays for him." [Sahih Muslim] "When a man dies all his good deeds come to an end except three: Ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge and a righteous child who prays for him." [Sahih Muslim] The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever gives Iftar to one who is fasting will have a reward like his, without that detracting from the reward of the fasting person in the slightest” (Al-Tirmidhi) Help us reach our fundraising target, which will go towards our Orphan, Widows and displaced people of Gaza Our aim is to feed orphans, vulnerable children and the most needy displaced people from Gaza.
