In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
May God’s blessings and peace be upon our beloved Messenger Muhammad, his Family and Posterity, and his Companions. All praise is due to God, the Lord of all creatures.
The Justice and Spirituality Movement was recently greatly bereaved by the loss of one of the great women of the Umma, namely, the honorable wife of Imam Abdessalam Yassine –Lalla Khadija, on the noon of Wednesday, 4 Jumada II 1436 corresponding to 25 March 2015 at the age of 63 years. May God the Almighty bestow his ample mercy upon the two of them and grant them paradise as their eternal abode.
God the Exalted has said “Among men are those who were truthful in the covenant that they made to God. Among them are those who fulfilled their vows. Among them are those who are awaiting their appointed time.” (Quran 33: 23)
Justice and Spirituality Movement and the Umma have lost one of the treasures and inexhaustible sources of knowledge and patience, none other than Lalla Khadija who was of sound and incisive knowledge and gentle in her companionship to the Imam.
She spent her life in the service of Imam Yassine and his followers and utilized varied means of calling to God the Exalted.
May God show her good for her deeds, shower her with His Mercy, give her a spacious abode in His Gardens, and raise her station [maqām] high in His proximity and accept her with the prophets, the truthful [ṣiddīqīn], the martyrs and the righteous. And we ask Him to reward our umma in this affliction and be – glorified be He- her Protector and Helper.
