Aid for Khalid & Ahmed Family's Medical and Funeral Costs

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raji’un

إِنَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

“Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return.” (Qur’an 2:156)

Asalam alayakum warahmatuallahi wabarakatu everyone.

On the night of November 1st, 7 of our sisters were driving home after celebrating a Nikkah ceremony on October 31st in Plano, Texas. They were involved in a multiple vehicle car accident that severely injured 3, and claimed the life of 2 as of today. Aliyah Khalid was among the deceased.

Aliyah Abdurahman Khalid (19) and her family were visiting Dallas Texas for a relatives Nikkah when she got into a devastating car crash that lead to her death.

In the car with her were her sisters, Nadira Khalid (14), and Hadiya Khalid (17), as well as Simale Ahmed (15). Alhamdulillah Nadira made it out of the car safely but is suffering emotionally from the loss of her older sister, Simale and Hadiya are both undergoing surgeries, but stable for now.

Aliyah is survived by her parents, Eman Abdurahman and Khalid Khaya three sisters, two of which were in the horrific accident with her, and three brothers. Aliyah was such a beautiful, and gentle soul who embodied kindness, compassion, and faith. She was set to graduate college in 2 years. Everyone who had the honor of knowing Aliyah loved her and she has now returned to our Creator, Allah (swt). As we navigate this difficult time, we are seeking support to honor her memory by covering funeral expenses and providing comfort and financial assistance for the others involved in the fatal car crash.

All the money donated will go towards medical costs for Hadiya Khalid, Simale Ahmed, and Aliyah’s burial costs and the transport of her body from Dallas, TX to Nashville, TN where 4/7 of the young girls are from. This is also where Aliyah’s burial and janazah will be held. We ask you to please donate what you can and make continuous duas for our dear sister.

In Islam, charity given on behalf of a loved one is a continuous blessing for them (sadaqah jariyah). Any contribution you make will not only help her family in this time of need but will serve as a source of ongoing reward for our sister, Insha’Allah.

May Allah grant Aliyah the highest level of  Jannah, forgive her, and grant her family patience and ease. Ameen.

May Allah grant healing, strength, and comfort to the surviving girls and their families. Ameen.

We ask Allah to ease their pain, grant them patience in this difficult time, and surround them with love and support. May He bring peace to their hearts, protect them from further harm, and bless them with a full recovery. Ameen

(All funds will go directly to the Khalid and Ahmed families.)

Thank you all for your support, your prayers, and your kindness.
