It is with profound sadness that New Crescent International Travels Ltd. announces the passing of their esteemed Managing Director, Hajia Hasana Sogbesan-AbdurRasheed. A distinguished leader, mentor, and visionary, Hajia Hasana played a pivotal role in shaping the company with her wisdom, humility, and grace.
Hajia Hasana passed away recently and was laid to rest in accordance with Islamic customs. While her physical presence is no longer with us, her remarkable legacy continues to inspire and guide her colleagues and loved ones. Her impact as a leader extended beyond the company; she was a beacon of inspiration and touched the lives of everyone she met with kindness, integrity, and unwavering faith.
Known for her resilience and tireless dedication, Hajia Hasana helped establish New Crescent International Travels as a prominent name in the travel industry. Her contributions, however, went beyond her professional achievements—her nurturing nature, deep spirituality, and passion for excellence left an indelible mark on her colleagues, friends, and family.
In a statement, the company expressed their grief but also took solace in the belief that she has returned to her Creator. They reflected on her immense contributions, both as a leader and a spiritual guide, and shared the words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity), knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him.”
Hajia Hasana’s legacy of ongoing good deeds, beneficial knowledge, and the prayers of those who admired her will continue to live on.
The management of New Crescent International Travels Ltd. requests prayers for her soul and for her family, asking that Allah grants her forgiveness, mercy, and eternal peace in the highest ranks of Jannatul Firdaus.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala make her grave a garden from the gardens of Paradise and admit her into eternal peace.
The company concluded with a heartfelt message of gratitude for all who have extended their condolences and prayers during this difficult time.
