As Salam Alaikum, 

The Executive Committee of the Canberra Islamic Centre announces with great sadness the death of our esteemed and much loved member, Mrs Bilquis Bhimani, wife of Mr. Abdul Sultan Bhimani. She passed away in Wollongong after a prolonged illness.

‫إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ‎

“Indeed, to God we belong and to God we shall return.”

Mrs. Bilquis Bhimani was one of the founders of the Canberra Islamic Centre, a foundation member and its life member and has remained an active follower of CIC even after moving out of Canberra to be with her children. In the early days of CIC , Mrs. Bilquis Bhimani had been a beacon of hope, a fountain of generosity and an active worker in all the activities of CIC specially the fund-raising activities. She was ever ready to organise the kitchen and cook for Ramadan Iftars and CIC social events. She also served on the Executive Committee of CIC. She was a kind and generous lady who was much loved in the community.

We offer our deepest sympathy and condolences to Abdul Sultan Bhimani, Aziz Bhimani, Hina Bhimani, Barkat Ali, Nasim B. Ali and all the members of their extended family. May Allah give you all patience and grace to bear this loss.

The funeral prayers will take place at Lakemba Mosque after Duhr prayers on Monday 27th January with burial to take place at the Rookwood Cemetery. We request our members to make dua for our departed sister. Inshallah, we will pray together for her maghfirat after Juma prayers on 31 January 2020.

With regards

Suhail Khan, President, Canberra Islamic Centre

The Executive Committee of the Canberra Islamic Centre
