Eulogy

For my dearest friend...

She had lived an amazing life even though it was not enough long to share every moment with her. Hatice was a great friend; She was the kind of friend that stands by you when you need somebody to be there. I can say that she once saved my life. We were both teenagers then and we weren’t very close. I was hastily walking across the streets of life with no guideness and belief when she realized that i was about to do my worst fault to loose all my identity among the wrong friends. She took my hand, pulled me out from the darkness of my life. She has given me the sources which became my family, my guide and the truth of my life then..That’s how I became close to Hatice. Yes, that was maybe long time ago and we’ve been inseparable ever since.

What is it that we remember when we think of Hatice? I think everyone who knows her very well would agree with me on this. It was her sense of humor when she is on her mood of course. She was the kind of person that would make everyone laugh so hard that they’d end up crying. Who could forget about the jokes that resulted her Maley friends to call her "crazy bucuk"? How about all her funny stories that made crazy the friends staying next door during university years? Goodness! Just thinking about those days still makes me laugh. She was so out there when she starts those jokes. That is what I will truly miss about her. She could make me laugh when I am really sad. She always cheered me up when she knew I just had a bad day. That’s the trademark of Hatice. She always wanted to make people happy.
Her death was sudden. I remember when I heard the news I simply could not believe it. It was too early but we had no choice to choose when is the time for an end,it was destiny. Hatice was well-loved and she had done so many things on earth and I’m sure she’ll be rewarded in turn with the eternal Rahmah in heaven. I will forever be grateful to have known her. I will forever be grateful that Hatice was there at the right place and at the right time to change my life. I will forever be grateful for spending many years of my life with a friend like her. All the memories I have shared with her will forever be cherished and remembered. Hatice will forever live in my heart… In our hearts.

We pray that she is with Allah's blessings now and we are here on her funeral. This is not the time for us to grieve her death but it’s our time to celebrate her life. Don’t ever forget Hatice. She never wanted to see people cry. So at this moment when we are about to lay his body to rest, let’s all think back and remember how Hatice touched our lives,how many lives actually she has saved with all the efforts that she has done in the name of Allah to serve His Deen. How she made us laugh and how good Hatice was as a person. This is not the moment for us to shed our tears but we should all be thankful that we were given the chance to have known someone named Hatice.

She will forever be missed but I know in the right time, I will meet her again. We will all meet her again all in the heaven.. May Allah bless her, may Allah give patience and the strenght of iman to her family and clozest ones...Amin...
