"Umm Ahmad - may Allah bless her soul - was so obedient and beloved to my heart, she had this special fear of Allah in her heart that encouraged her to do everything she could to facilitate and make things easy for me, especially when I would study myself and/or teach students. She made everything easy for me. She was the coolness to my eyes for whom despite the hard long days I endured, everything became easy. It really puts into perspective the Hadith of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم wherein he said, "the best enjoyment in the world is a righteous wife.” For sure, they help to make what seems unbearable, bearable. She was to me as Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) was to the Prophet, tender, encouraging and supportive until her last breath. She passed away just as I was released from prison, I was in the halfway house. We never managed to spend one day or one night together after my release until Allah took her soul. When she came to visit me and she sat down next to me I noticed something was wrong, it was a long journey for her and I sat waiting for her with her favourite chocolate in my hand. I noticed she was sick despite how much she tried to conceal it. She got sick when we were in prison, and she loved us so very much, I can only imagine how hard it must have been for her but she found solace in the company of Allah. I loved her devotion to Allah. By Allah, she did not pass away except that I was utmost pleased with her, just as the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Any woman who dies while her husband is pleased with her, she will enter Jannah." I ask Allah Almighty to forgive her and reward her with the highest station in Al Fridaus 'Ala!
