Timeline
Begum Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib (শেখ ফজিলাতুন্নেছা মুজিব; 8 August 1930 – 15 August 1975 ), commonly known as Begum Mujib; and also known by her nickname Renu (রেনু), was the wife of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founder and the first President of Bangladesh.
Sheikh Fazilatunnesa was born in 1930, to the Bengali Muslim Sheikh family in the village of Tungipara, Gopalganj in 1930.
Her father's name is Sheikh Zahurul Haque and her mother's name is Sheikh Husne Ara Begum.
Renu was only 8 years old when she was married to her husband, who himself was just 18, in 1938.
Fazilatunnesa Mujib was under house arrest during Bangladesh Liberation War until 17 December.
On 15 August 1975, a group of junior army officers attacked the presidential residence with tanks and assassinated Mujib, his family and personal staff.
They were banned from returning to Bangladesh.
The coup was planned by disgruntled Awami League colleagues and military officers, which included Mujib's colleague and former confidant Khondaker Mostaq Ahmad, who became his immediate successor.
Lawrence Lifschultz has alleged that the CIA was involved in the coup and assassination, basing his assumption on statements by the then US ambassador in Dhaka, Eugene Booster.
Mujib's death plunged the nation into many years of political turmoil.
The coup leaders were soon overthrown and a series of counter-coups and political assassinations paralysed the country.
Order was largely restored after a coup in 1977 gave control to the army chief Ziaur Rahman.
Declaring himself President in 1978, Ziaur Rahman signed the Indemnity Ordinance, giving immunity from prosecution to the men who plotted Mujib's overthrow and assassination.
Bangabandhu Memorial Trust in partnership with Malaysian hospital chain KPJ Healthcare built the Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib Memorial KPJ Specialised Hospital and Nursing College in her memory.
The hospital was inaugurated by Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.
A dormitory in Eden college is named after her.
Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib Hall is a female dorm in Rajshahi University.
Govt. Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib Mohila College is located in Tangail.
Lastly, Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib Science and Technology University (BSFMSTU) is situated in Jamalpur.
She is the mother of Sheikh Hasina, who is now Prime Minister of Bangladesh (since 2009).
She was assassinated with her husband, brother-in-law, 3 sons and 2 daughters-in-law.
She was of Iraqi Arab ancestry on both sides of family, her paternal grandfather Sheikh Kashem, was grandson of Sheikh Ekramullah, who was in turn descended from Sheikh Abdul Awal Darwish of Baghdad, a dervish who had come to preach Islam in Bengal during the early 18th century.
Her father, Sheikh Zahurul Haque, and mother, Husne Ara Begum, died when she was three years old.
Her elder sister's name is Sheikh Jinnatunnesa.
