Assalamu Alaykum,
I pray you are all well.
My name is Hafizah Ismail and I have recently been added to this google
group by Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef. 'Why?', I hear you ask. Please
read on...
I have recently set up a facebook fan page,
Children of Jannah, and
with the blessing of Sh Muhammad, I would like to invite you to join
it insha Allah.
The link to become a fan is right here:

But what is this all about! Let me explain...
My nephew, Ismaeel, died in April of this year aged 2 years after a
short period of illness. As you know, it is devastating for parents
and family to lose a child. Very soon after, I realised that there is
a lack of support for Muslim parents and families who have lost a
child, whether through illness, miscarriage or stillbirth, from within
the Muslim community. The support that's available is by and large by
non-Muslims. However, support from the Muslim perspective is essential
to help parents and families heal after their tragic loss.
One of the aims of Children of Jannah is to offer support to grieving
families following the loss of a child, helping them move from pain to
peace and strengthening their link to Jannah.
Since its launch on Monday 30th May 2011, Children of Jannah has had a
phenomenal response from the Muslim community. People from all over
the world are joining in, either to receive or give support. Numerous
quotes, advices, videos, suggestions are posted regularly.
A private, closed group,
Children of Jannah Mama’s Page, has also been
set up. This is a sisters only page where sisters/mothers can support
each other. Details of how to join this group will be put up on the
facebook page insha Allah.
Children of Jannah has exciting plans and we would like you to be part
of them. So I kindly request you to:
1. Become a fan of Children of Jannah by pressing the LIKE button.
2. Forward the link to your family and friends and anyone else who can
benefit.
