Al-Fatihah - Raja Ashman Shah

I was shocked upon reading in the news that Raja Ashman Shah had passed away.

Seems like the good ones are “taken away” early.

Raja Ashman can be considered only an acquaintance. However, an acquaintance that brought a great meaning to what a good man has to be.

Back in the 1980’s when he said he will only marry Noraini Jane and nobody else, I thought he was joking. Then, came his wedding invitation and I realized this was a man what in Malay we say “Diam-diam ubi berisi”. He was a man, despite his royal family status, who was not aloof or behaved as if he was above the rest.

May Allah include him amongst the well rewarded.

Al Fatihah.
