| The Story of Martyrdom:
In the afternoon of January 1,2009, Anwar sneaked away from her mother and climbed to the house roof to have a look from above at the war atmosphere that was cloaking Gaza. Anwar moved from one fence to another while the planes were roaring and the explosions were resounding. A few moments after this innocent girl got to the roof, she was hit by a missile shot by an Israeli reconnaissance craft. Her body was shattered all over the place.
Her mother says,” When we heard the resounding explosion, the first thing that came to my mind was Anwar. In fact, I missed her of all her brothers. When I went up to the roof I saw my daughter in pieces.
“Anwar was a good student at her second grade predatory. Her score was never below 94%. “ Her mother proceeds to say, “ Anwar was not good at her study only, but she was my first daughter who used to relieve me of a lot of housework. I greatly relied on her. I miss her so much. May Allah help us and grant us His protection.” “Anwar was inquisitive. She used to take up household jobs which others thought they she was too young to do. It was even the case that when I left the house I was comfortable it was in Anwar’s custody and that her brothers were under her surveillance.”
Anwar’s mother had given birth to a baby daughter. Anwar, at that tiem, promised her mother that she would need anybody to help her to do the housework after the child’s birth. Anwar actually kept her promise. “She was very much like the grown ups, she did all the housework without failing. In the evening she studies in her books. All her relatives wondered at her house hold skills as she needed no help from her uncle’s wife or anybody else.” her mother added. According to her mother, Anwar was unlike the girls of her generation in terms of her ideas and interests. She used to pray that Allah almighty might keep her folks safe. She used to say,” Allah, almighty save me the grief of losing one of my family.”
As Anwar had left a good impression on her family, she had done the same with her relationship with her friends. Her friend Fatima had visited her house though her deep grief for losing her dearest friend which had had prevented her from visiting the place . In the following day, Fatima saw her friend Anwar in her sleep and heard her say, “ I was close to you when you visited our house. Please tell my family I have seen a great bliss. Let them rejoice for me.”
