Our condolence to family and friends of Aunty Djenabou Sow
Muslims believe the dead person is not always aware of the transition, so the one giving instructions informs the deceased that he or she has died, is being laid in the grave, and two angels known as Munkar and Nakir will soon come into the grave to ask three questions.
To the first question, "Who is your Lord?," the deceased is instructed to reply, "Allah."
In answer to the second question, "Who is your Prophet?,"
the deceased should say, "Muhammad,"
and the correct response to the third question,
"What is your religion?,"
is "Islam."

On the 11th of June 2007, at 9am in her home village, Djenabou Sow has initiated her journey to meet her prophet Allah.
Djenabou Sow is Mariama's aunty in Guinee, from her father's side, with whom she spent lots of time during every single journey to Guinee. Djenabou received Mariama's family in her own house, shared time, stories and food with them. Staying with her and her family, was like being transported to a time and rythm of its own, where every moment, every activity counts like a milestone in everybody's memory.
Mariama visited her in August last year to farewell. Here some precious photos in her memory.
