THREE YEARS TRIBUTE TO MY WIFE, SHUKUROT ADEOLA ISHAQ-DAUDA
It has been three years since you left this world, but in my heart, it feels like yesterday. Not a day passes that I don’t think of you, pray for you, or wish I could see your face one more time.
Shukurot, you were more than just my wife. You were my companion, my best friend, my comfort, and my strength. You knew how to take care of me in ways that words can’t explain. You could look at me and know what I needed whether it was food, silence, prayer, or simply to be held.
You loved me with so much patience. You never gave up on me. Even in your hardest moments, you still found a way to smile and make sure I was okay. You gave your all to this marriage. You gave your best to our home. You were a quiet fighter, a woman of dignity, and a heart full of kindness.
I remember the way you called my name, the way you waited for me when I was late, the way you held my hand when I was tired. You made life easier for me. You made home a place of peace. And now, without you, there’s an emptiness I cannot explain.
But in all of this, I am still grateful. I thank Allah for blessing me with you. I thank Him for the years we had together. I thank Him for the memories I hold dear.
You were good to me, Shukurot. Very good. You were the kind of woman a man prays for but may never find. I found you, and I will never forget that gift.
Today, I remember you with tears, yes but also with pride. You lived well. You loved deeply. You gave everything, and even now, you are still giving by the way your memory continues to shape me.
Sleep well, my wife.May Allah grant you Jannah and keep us united in the next life.
Ameen.
Your husband.
