أنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون 
To Allah we belong, and Him we return.

Our beloved Ustadha Mervet Musleh has returned to her Lord. Our sister leaves behind her husband Muhammad Musleh and her children, Salah, Duaa, Tariq, Amir, and Malik Musleh and many grandchildren. Ustadha Mervet spent her life in the worship of Allah and servitude of Allah’s servants and communities. She personally taught so many people from our communities Qur’an and Islam. Her children embodied this characteristic of hers as well, and each in their own way involved themselves in the Khidmah of the ‘ibaad of Allah and community work.

We are all witnesses and products of her work, whether through her directly or through her children, and we ask Allah to accept us all amongst her sadiqah jariyah and legacy and testify to her righteousness and sincerity in front of the Almighty.
