Tribute to Marwa Sherbini


Two women were killed in two distant countries: Neda Agha Sultan was shot during a protest in Iran while Marwa el Sherbini was stabbed 18 times inside a courtroom in Germany. Each death, of these women who stood up for what they believed in, tells a larger story. Neda in Iran became a world icon, Marwa in Germany was simply disregarded.

I feel sorry for the family, especially the kid, who will now be deprived of his mother's love, the most beautiful thing to happen on earth. I appreciate that she did not take the racist attacks on her lying low and instead took to the court of law and won the case. Unfortunately, she had to pay with her life in the same court of law. Women like these, who have such strong Character and Faith turn out to be essential assets of the Muslim Ummah. Allah grant her peace, highest level of Jannah, and grant patience to her innocent child and family. Ameen
