Malaysia is in mourning today due to the passing of the Prime Minister's wife, Datin Seri Endon Mahmud. She passed away at 7.55am, 16th Ramadhan 1426H, due to the complications of breast cancer that she had suffered from for quite some time.
This morning I got a call from my boss, requesting me to join the 'rombongan' from UiTM to pay her a last respect at her residence. Though we arrived quite late (because we got lost along the way), but Alhamdulillah, we managed to arrive on time. Lots of well-known people and diplomats were there by the time we got in, and the crowd thronged in just to catch a glimpse of Allahyarhamah for the last time. Here, I witnessed some of the blessings of being a Malaysian. People of all races, creed, background and religion came in and pay their last respects without ever highlighting their differences at all.
Though lots of criticism was being fired to her during her lifetime, but today's event had actually shed some light of what we didn't know about her in truth. It has been raining since before Subuh... and it still rains until now. There must be some unseen 'hikmah' that we need to think over in her passing.
May Allah bless her soul and may she be placed among the chosen ones... Ameen...
AL-FATIHAH
