Yasmin Murphy
1953 – 2022
Yasmin reverted to Islam in 1990 , over 30 years ago and this was to change her life for ever. Previously she had found herself in a difficult situation and prayed for something to change; she prayed for a sign. It wasn’t long after that she met her future second husband, Omar Farook at a gathering. She wasn’t free to mix with him socially but took up the opportunity to learn about Islam from him. Once she fully understood, she converted and Islam became an integral part of all her actions.
Yasmin previously worked as an English teacher for over 30 years, this gave her the skills to organise, bringing people together from different cultures for unity and charity events and be promoting peace and justice. She was also an advocate of organic food and natural remedies.
Yasmin had three children, Josie-Aisha and then twins Saffia and Khadijah. She also leaves four grandchildren , three grandsons and a great grand daughter.
In 2007 Yasmin’s daughters were involved in a serious car crash which left one daughter disabled, and the other with brain damage and the third with long term trauma. Yasmin managed to keep going through this tragedy and build up enough strength to continue to lead a positive life.
