Ghalia and Mariam al-Askari

Ghalia and Mariam al-Askari

Age 5

My martyred daughter Ghalia's wish was to ascend as a martyr in her sleep, so she would not be afraid of the sound of the bombing. My martyred daughter Mariam's final request was: 'Papa, don't let them cover my face when I am martyred, because I'm afraid of the dark.' This is what our children's wishes have become. God is sufficient for me, and He is the best disposer of affairs. May God reunite me with you in Paradise, my darlings.
