Tia Mamdouh Muhammad Abu Jazar

Tia Mamdouh Muhammad Abu Jazar

Age 1 · 17 October 2023

The innocent angel, the child martyr Tia, who was only a little over a year old. She was killed along with her twin brother Muhammad and their mother on October 17, 2023, leaving their father alone and heartbroken. The first Friday passes without you. Praise be to God until You are pleased, my Lord. And here is a message to the Muslims of the world: Imagine this reality with me: hours separate you from seeing your children and your wife, then you wake up to the news of their killing, and you find nothing of them or their bodies. (Have you imagined this for yourself?) These children, O Muslims, were torn to pieces. What did they do to the tyrannical state of the Jews? O God, show the Jews and those who aided them a black day. Heal our chests with the sight of their children's torn bodies, O Lord. Make them grieve for their children and their women, O Lord. And I say only what pleases our Lord. "To God we belong and to Him we return." "God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs." May God reunite me with you in goodness, my Lord. You are the beloveds of my heart. The last time I saw them was hours before they were killed. I took my wife out for a walk in the street and we returned home. I did not know that these were their last hours, but by God, my heart was heavy because I saw that all their faces had changed, and tenderness and affection filled the place. We had lunch together at one table, and I sat and talked with them. Afterward, when I came to leave, I said goodbye to my children as they slept. They woke up, and by God, in their eyes was a look of both longing and farewell at the same moment. My affectionate wife called to me and said, "Come, I want to hug you." She kissed my hand, embraced me, and said, "Stay with us for one night." I told her I would be back tomorrow, and I left. I did not know it was our last meeting. Praise be to God in all circumstances. And this video clip is of my daughter, hours before she was killed.
