FAMILIES

If your wife and/or daughter wish to study in Dar al-Zahra there is no need for them to contact Dar al-Zahra separately or to fill in a separate form. Rather you should mention on your application form that they will be accompanying you. They can then register with Dar al-Zahra upon arrival.

May Allah have mercy upon Umm Nabīlah (Sanesa) who entered the world of the barzakh this morning. She was living with her family in Tarim, being originally from Singapore. The funeral procession began from Dar al-Musṭafā after ‘Aṣr prayer today, led by Habib Umar bin Ḥafīẓ. Many students, teachers and local residents joined the procession to the jabbāna where Habib Ali Mashhūr bin Hafīẓ led the funeral prayer. She was then buried in the city cemetery, zambal. She leaves behind her husband and young children.

May Allah raise her rank and admit her to Paradise without reckoning, Āmīn… al-Fātiḥa!

Thank you for your feedback regarding ways we can improve this site with regard to the type of information you would like to see made available – particularly more information on Dar al-Zahra and study opportunities for women in Tarim. Keep the comments coming in, and we pray to Allah during these blessed days and nights of Dhul Hijjah that he make our hearts directed to Him, whether we be in His sanctuary in Makkah, elsewhere in His vast land.

Habib Umar and Habib Salim al-Shatiri gave a wonderful piece of advice to the pilgrims this evening during a gathering in Jeddah. They talked about the way to return to Allah – leaving the ways of those whom Allah’s gaze is diverted from – and adopting the ways of those whom His gaze is directed toward.
