Demise of Hazrat Umme Haani (ra)

By the grace of Almighty Allah, Hazrat Umme Haani (ra) lived a long life and witnessed the blessed terms of all four Khulafaa-e-Raashideen. The four Khulafaa-e-Raashideen, Companions of the Prophet (sas), and other scholars held her in high esteem. They respected her because she was respected by the Holy Prophet (sas). Hazrat Umme Haani (ra) held this honour till her last breath.

Whosoever enters this finite world, has to depart one day or another, whether it is a prophet or a righteous person, blessed and beloved. Death is a law of nature. Hazrat Umme Haani (ra) lived even after the demise of her brother Hazrat Ali’sra. In the year 50 Hijrah, during the reign of Ameer Mu‘aawiyah (ra), Umme Haani (ra) met her Maker. May Allah be pleased with her and may He grant her a place among the righteous. May He give us the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of blessed personalities such as Hazrat Umme Haani (ra). Ameen.1
