By Musa Tanimu Nasidi.
My light went out on Monday 17th April 2017 when my beloved wife of 30 years, Malama Ayisha Musa Tanimu Nasidi passed away at the Federal Medical Centre, Lokoja.
It was a terrible shock because we all believed she was making favorable progress towards recovery. She was very happy during our daughter’s wedding exactly two months ago.
Recall that the wedding of our daughter took place on the 18th of February 2017, and my beloved wife passed away exactly two months after the wedding of Hadijath Musa Tanimu Nasidi Innalilahi Wa’ina-illaihi!
My dear wife was not only a wonderful wife and mother of our six wonderful children but she was a meticulous housekeeper and homemaker.
She was a cheerful, friendly person and made many warm friends. She seldom, if ever, criticized anyone. Instead, she preferred to refer to their good qualities. She was the soul of honesty. She would never shade the truth no matter what the consequences. She loved her religion and was faithful to her husband and her allotted tasks. She also lived growing and caring for not only children but the aged within my family
She found much pleasure in reading the Holy Qur’an and Hadith among other books.
And now, dear friends, I close this tribute with a feeling of humility and submission to the will of Allah – Divine authority. I know many men have wonderful wives but no one has ever had a better one than I. She was faithful, efficient, loyal and true mother to my children.
She inspired me in ways I cannot explain. I have lost a worthy helpmate but I have nothing but happy memories of our Thirty years of life together.
I sorrow now for my loved one but the burden has been lessened by the many kindnesses shown me and my family. I mention no names lest someone inadvertently be missed. Her funeral was simple, well attended and carried out with the dignity she so much admired. My cellphone in box is full with condolence messages and sympathy. I do want you all to know how grateful I am for all you have said or done. The tribute you paid myself and family touched us deeply. I fear I cannot thank all of your personally but be assured your kindness will never be forgotten.
I have lost a great woman Aisha, like I always prayed and hope to leave this sinful world before you; Allah in His infinite Mercy destined that you’ll go and leave me behind.
You didn’t offend me all our life, I know for sure that Allah will forgive you and give us the fortitude to bear this painful and great lost.
May Allah in His wisdom and Mercy grant you Aljanat Firdausi
