Remembering Nur Aisyah
Speaking to TODAY, Mr. Abdul Rauf shared that both he and Nur Aisyah enjoyed being in nature. He clarified that their visit to the park wasn’t intended for hiking, as some reports suggested, but rather a walk to discuss future plans and goals.
Describing Nur Aisyah as “the kindest, gentlest, and most faithful wife,” Mr. Abdul Rauf highlighted her unconditional love for animals and people. Despite not having children of their own, Aisyah lovingly cared for Mr. Abdul Rauf’s two children from his first marriage. Her love extended to numerous godchildren, nieces, nephews, and the children of friends.
The tragic accident has left a void not only in Mr. Abdul Rauf’s life but also in the hearts of those who knew Nur Aisyah. Her legacy of kindness, love for nature, and caring spirit will be remembered by the many lives she touched.
