Russian expat woman passes away two days after converting to Islam
A 62-year-old Russian expat, Liodmila Shtshebynia, passed away just two days after converting to Islam, with her death announced on the Instagram account @Janaza_UAE. The post urged people to attend her funeral, highlighting that she had no family in the UAE. Her funeral took place during Maghrib prayers at Al Shahaba mosque in Sharjah. Abdulla Hussain Almarzooqi, the founder of @Janaza_UAE, emphasized the need for community support, urging residents to be her “sons and brothers.”

The call to attend Liodmila’s funeral spread rapidly on social media, with messages circulating on WhatsApp and other platforms. The @Janaza_UAE account has been instrumental in ensuring no one is buried without prayers for the past ten years. Thousands of followers on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) expressed their condolences and support. The account serves as a vital resource, informing the public of funerals across the UAE.
This touching event is reminiscent of a similar case in March, when Daria Kotsarenko, a 29-year-old Dubai resident, passed away shortly after converting to Islam. Hundreds attended her funeral, and her death highlighted the strong community support in the UAE. Both instances showcase the solidarity and compassion within the UAE community, ensuring that no one is left without a proper farewell.
