O soul that are at rest, Return to thy Lord, well-pleased, well-pleasing, So enter among My
servants, and enter My Garden!
Holy Quran 89:27-30
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, with deep sadness yet with profound gratitude to Allah, informs you that his beloved wife of 72 years, the First Lady of the Nation of Islam, Mother Khadijah has returned to Allah (may Allah be pleased).
We thank Allah for the precious life of a loving wife, mother, and faithful and devoted follower of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Mother Khadijah will forever be cherished and remembered. May Allah give His unequaled comfort to the family as we mourn this tremendous loss and lift the family in our prayers and thoughts.
Allah, there is no God but He, He gives life and to Him is our eventual return.
Your brother and servant,
