The Story of Martyrdom:

In her courtyard, Sabah `Ali `Awad Abu Daqqah (the mother of the martyr) was sitting waiting his return, but he did not come back. She keeps silent some moments then she cries out of pain and sorrow for those who had passed away. She says: "The condition was the same since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza. The sky was full of warplanes and striking was everywhere, but I did not expect that my child will be hit. Ibrahim went with his brother Muhammad in the truce time to collect grass for animals from an agricultural land nearby the club of Nady `Absan Al-Kabirah. He was dragging this new car —to which she aimed— and the shrapnel had penetrated her body breaking her hand. He did not carry a missile and did not go toward the borders to kill him with a land-to-land missile. Allah is sufficient for us, and how fine a trustee He is!"

She says in a tone of bride: "The 16-years-old Ibrahim was a student in the first grade in high school and memorized 25 parts of the Qur'an." Thanks to Allah that He honored me and made me a mother of a martyr. He wished to finish his study. My beloved son was one of the excellent students since his young age. These certificates of honor attest that and this is a certificate of honor from Al-Farouk house for teaching the Qur'an and these are certificates of honor from his school in the different stages of his education. May Allah bestow mercy on him and accept him among the martyrs."

His grandmother speaks about his noble characteristics saying: He was quite, kind, good, and of good moral standards. Praise be to Allah, all his friends were older people and from college. Praise be to Allah, his death was honorable and we do not praise any of them before Allah because He knows their intentions.
