(Mother of Mufti Ebrahim Salejee [daamat barakaatuhum] – Introduction)
On Sunday 2nd Jumaadas
Saani 1441, 29th December 2019,
during the early hours of the morning, the respected mother of Mufti Ebrahim
Salejee (daamat barakaatuhum) (principal of Madrasah Ta’leemuddeen, Isipingo
Beach) passed away in her sleep at the age of 86.
She was
born in Makkah Mukarramah while her parents were on the journey of hajj. Due to
being born in the holy city of Makkah Mukarramah, her parents gave her the name
Makkiyyah (which means ‘woman of Makkah’). As an infant, when her
parents wished to perform tawaaf of the Ka‘bah, they would take her and place
her in the Hateem. In this manner, Allah Ta‘ala blessed her, in her infancy, to
acquire the blessings of the Haramain and the Ka’bah Shareef.
Makkiyyah
Aapa (rahimahallah) (as she was commonly known) was indeed a woman of taqwa and
piety and was an inspiration to one and all. She left many children and
grandchildren who are Huffaaz and ‘Ulama. Two of her sons, Mufti
Ebrahim and Moulana Husain (daamat barakaatuhuma), are senior ustaazs in
Madrasah Ta’leemuddeen.
May Allah
Ta‘ala fill her grave with noor and grant her the highest stages in Jannatul
Firdaus, aameen.
Insha-Allah,
in the parts to come, we will discuss various aspects from the life of this
saintly personality so that we may all benefit from the example she set, Aameen
