Zahara Ameen, Seattle, WA— Zahara Ameen, a beloved member of the local Muslim community, passed away on October 10, 2024. She was a dedicated individual who spent many years attending prayers at the masjid and living a life of devotion to her faith. Zahara had faced significant health challenges in recent years, including the amputation of one of her legs due to complications from diabetes. Despite her struggles, she remained an active participant in community life until her health deteriorated further.
Zahara grew up in foster care and had no direct family to turn to. She had previously asked Sheik Abdullah and Sheik Abubakary to be her guardians in case anything happened to her. Upon her passing, the guardians were contacted and immediately took action to ensure her body was treated with the respect and dignity she deserved according to Islamic customs. After her death, Zahara’s body was initially set for cremation, a practice incompatible with Islamic beliefs, but the guardians intervened and were able to bring her back to be buried.
A fundraiser has been established by Bubacarr Tunkara to cover the burial expenses, which amounted to $10,300. This loan was taken in order to provide Zahara with a dignified burial, which took place on October 18, 2024. The Muslim community has rallied together in support of Zahara’s final rites, with the fundraiser already receiving early donations.
The passing of Zahara has left a void in the hearts of those who knew her. She will be remembered for her unwavering faith, her spirit of community, and the example she set as a devoted Muslim. Her memory will live on through the legacy of kindness and commitment she shared with others.
We are deeply saddened by Zahara Ameen’s passing and extend our thoughts and prayers to all who were touched by her life.
