Grandmother guided dying schoolgirl to recite syahadah
BATU PAHAT: A Form Four student who was found severely injured at a secondary school in Yong Peng here yesterday managed to raise her hand and turn towards her grandmother before losing consciousness.
In Batu Pahat, a 16-year-old Form Four student named Irene Sofiya Mohd Khairool Faisal, commonly known as Fiya, was found severely injured at her secondary school in Yong Peng. With serious wounds believed to be inflicted by a hard object, Fiya was discovered by her friend in a pool of blood and became unresponsive. Her 65-year-old grandmother, Jameyah Rabani, rushed to her side and was heartbroken upon seeing her daughter's condition.
Jameyah taught Fiya to recite the syahadah, a declaration of faith in Islam, as she lay unconscious. Two of Fiya's friends had gone to her house earlier to inquire about her whereabouts after finding her motorcycle inside the school compound. Jameyah had invited Fiya to a wedding ceremony that morning, but the student declined as she had scheduled online classes.
Fiya's grandfather, Khyar Abas, expressed shock at their final conversation, as they lived together and he and his aunt had been waiting for her to return from a meal.
