Emergency Burial Appeal for Anfal Alenezi and Taiye Sh*ttu - Please help give our Sister and Brother, dignified Islamic burials.
Inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un - “We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.”
Anfal’s Story
Sister Anfal Alenezi was alone, she had already lost her husband in August 2025 however Anfal would also join him as she was found unconscious in her bedroom. Anfal had passed away, five months after her husband's death. She was only 35 years old and from Kuwait.
Anfal had no friends or family to help her in her time of need. A further five months would pass until the local authority would contact our community, requesting help for Anfal’s Muslim funeral.
The Muslim Burial Fund had previously supported the burial of Anfal’s late husband, and with your support, we intend to lay Anfal to rest, next to him, in accordance with her rights as our Muslim Sister.

Taiye’s Story
Taiye was a husband and a father to two young children. A retired firefighter, he faced many health challenges. After developing a muscle condition, he became wheelchair-bound for the last 17 years of his life.
Over the years, Taiye endured kidney failure, then developed heart failure and suffered repeated infections. Due to the weakness of his heart, doctors were unable to perform the operation he needed.
Following his passing, aged just 45, a close friend contacted the Muslim Burial Fund to explain the severe financial hardship facing Taiye’s family. We have assured Taiye’s family that, with the support of our community, we will honour his final rites and provide him with a dignified Islamic burial in accordance with our faith.

To date we have supported over 686 people with burial support.
All our appeals do not reflect the actual costs in laying a deceased person to rest. These costs are normally in the region of £4,000 to £5,000. Each of our burial appeals are currently subsidised at £1,750 per burial from the funds received from TV appeals, website and digital platforms. Any surplus funds are used to help others reaching End of Life or assist with burial support.
Thank you for supporting our previous appeals. Usma Shaheen was laid to rest on Thursday, 28th May, 2026 at Essington Cemetery, West Midlands.
