Emergency Burial Appeal for Nejla Isci and Mohamed Wurie - Please help give our sister and brother, a dignified Islamic burial.
Inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un - “We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.”
Nejla's Story
Sister Nejla Isci suffered from health problems for most of her adult life. She was divorced and single handedly raised her two children. Nejla was admitted into a West London hospital suffering from the effects of diabetes and arthritis. Unfortunately, Nejla couldn't pull through. She was 67 years old and originally from Turkey.
Her son contacted a mosque in north London requesting support to bury her mother. The mosque signposted Nejla’s children to the Muslim Burial Fund. We reassured the children that we will help lay their mother to rest.
Janazah and Burial Date: Friday, 14th August, 2026
Janazah Location: Rumi Mosque, 337 Fore Street, London N9 0NU
Burial Location: Gardens of Firdaus, Sewardstone Road, North London E4 7RJ
Mohamed's story
Mohamed Wurie faced many challenges throughout his life. He suffered from cancer for a long time, requiring frequent hospital visits. Although he had been in poor health, his death came as a shock to the family as he unexpectedly passed away at home.
Struggling with the cost of the funeral, his only son reached out to the Muslim Burial Fund for financial assistance and support in arranging the funeral. The Muslim Burial Fund reassured his son that we would provide the necessary support and financial assistance, with the help of the Muslim community.
