Death and Evasiveness

So Last Night Just as evryone was sitting around the the boeka(iftaar) table, I was sitting outside trekking a skyf (ja I know I was suppose to quit, but who can in these stressful times) this house phone rang and it was my sister in Cape Town (luv you sis).
She was the bearer of some sad news, my cousins husband had passed away. It came as a shock because he was relatively young and was not even married a year. I tried to remain composed whilst talking to my sister who was in a state of shock. Once I put the phone down it only hit me and I suddenly felt my body weaken.

Unfortunately I am not able to make the Janaazah(funeral) seeing I am in Jozi and it happens in Cape Town today. I feel for my cousin as she is in her early twenties and has lost one person that was dear to her, her husband.

While still talking to my sister wanting to know how he had passed away, my sister said that she did not know. I spoke to my sister this morning again wanting to know how everything was and offcourse what the cause of death was, she still had not been told the cause. Nobody is talking about it and this just begs for the opportunity for people to start spreading rumours. Everything is shrouded in mystery, why I ask?
Don't people fitna(gossip)enough already, why give people more ammunition to start the gossip trail. By now everybody has formed some sort of conclusion to the cause of death, I'll keep my thoughts to myself until I am certain I know the correct story.

My my cousin find peace in her period of mourning and my Allah grant her husband Janatul Firdaus Insha'alla.

My thoughts and duahs are with the respective families.
