The Remembering

Victims of the contagious disease are often dying in isolation, without their families and friends by their side. And across the world, many of the bereaved are being robbed of the chance of a final goodbye and the comfort of a funeral.

Thus, to honour the memory of the victims of COVID‑19, we have produced ‘The Remembering’ scarf to commemorate thousands of coronavirus victims as well as to pay tribute to everyone who has died of COVID-19 in Malaysia, and every Malaysian from all walks of life who has died of the disease abroad.

Through this collection, it gives the victims’ families and friends a chance to take some time and pay tribute to the victims of COVID‑19. It is also an opportunity to acknowledge the invaluable contribution of all the professional groups and members of civil society who are on the front lines fighting COVID‑19.

Hence, this scarf is inspired from the COVID-19 global pandemic itself. Featuring Iris, we chose this type of flower because it is a holy flower of Islam as some of its petals point upwards towards Allah, while others drop down towards the earth. Also in Islam, Iris flowers are placed on the graves of loved ones to show honor, devotion, and remembrance. Iris flower other meanings include nobility, chivalry, wisdom, messages, faith, and purity.

This beautiful arrangement creates an elegant yet timeless design that transcends time. It is a simple and effortless way to build style and sophistication into your wardrobe. The scarf can be worn in a variety of ways. Lightweight and carefree, this scarf will be wrapped and delivered in a special reusable matching prints handmade cloth pouch. 

Iris Flower Color Meanings

Irises come in a rainbow of colors, and each one has special meanings. Here are some iris color meanings:

• Purple Iris Flower Meaning

Long associated with royalty, the color purple is a way of paying tribute to and honoring another. It’s also the color of pride and confidence. Therefore, purple irises symbolize respect and honor – whether for others or even yourself.In addition, purple iris meaning includes peace and harmony, as it blends two very different colors: cool blue and warm red. Therefore, purple irises are ideal to plant in a peace garden or to give to another as a symbol of goodwill, understanding, and forgiveness.

• Orange Iris Meaning

An orange iris flower symbolizes courage and wellness. Orange irises make lovely gifts for loved ones who are getting a medical procedure or are dealing with health challenges. They can give them confidence and hope that everything will go well. They are also ideal symbols to build your own self-confidence and to energize physical vitality.

• White Iris Flower Meaning

Like white butterfly meanings, the white iris symbolizes messages from angels, spiritual faith, and purity. They make ideal gifts for newborns as well as to honor those who have passed on to the spirit realm. In addition, white irises bring hope for new beginnings, so they are ideal flowers for bridal bouquets, wedding and baby showers, graduations, and retirement gifts.

May Allah make this a time in which we become closer to Him. May He protect us, our loved ones and the wider community from harm. Finally, we ask Him to forgive all of those who have passed away and have mercy on them. Let us recite the Al-Fatihah and pray that all the lost souls will receive blessings from Allah and so that they will be placed among the pious. 

 آمِيْن يَا رَبَّ العَالَمِيْنَ 

Note: If you have time, pelase recite this dua for protection against diseases. This dua for protection from illness should be our constant prayer at this time, and it carries an important reminder that our refuge is always in Allah (SWT):

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبَرَصِ، وَالْجُنُونِ، وَالْجُذَامِ، وَمِنْ سَيِّئِ الأَسْقَامِ

Allah humma inni a’udhu bika minal-barasi, wal-jununi, wal-judhaami, wa min sayyi’il-asqaami

“O Allah, I seek refuge in You from leprosy, insanity, elephantiasis, and the worst of diseases.”

(Abu Dawud)
