"...even when she had her leg amputated, she reminded my father and others that it is no big deal. She reminded us of that little Iraqi boy who had lost some of his limbs and said, “Tho kiya huwa? Merey aik taang se hop karsakthee houn” (“So what? I can still hop on one leg”)."
Asma Haq was 8 ½ years old when she first developed symptoms of cancer. Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) has one of the lowest survival rates for paediatric cancer. Despite having her whole leg amputated up to the hip, the cancer returned. Asma died on Friday 11th February 2005, following a 3 year struggle. Her older brother Omar speaks to al-istiqamah about her ordeal and passing. Omar is a student; the Haq family live in Chicago, Illinois.
can't read more. Inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raji'oon may Allaah give the family patience and admit the little girl into the Highest part of Jannah. Aameen
My mother raised her concern about Asma having a tumor in her knee. The doctor laughed it off and said it was nothing like that. If it were a tumor, we would have known. Six months went by with this routine – day in, day out

Aww poor little girl. is she YOUR lil sis? aww May allah grant her jannatul firdous inshallah.....
She's not my blood sister, but I am proud to be able to say that she is our Muslim sister. When it says "My little sister..." that refers to br Omar, whom we conducted the interview with.
SubhanAllah what a brave little girl Asma was. May Allah make her bravery an inspiration to those who complain at the slightest difficulty they face. I pray you find peace in knowing that dying as a pure and innocent child Allah swt will grant her Jannah and may Allah too reward you and your family for the loss you have suffered. Ameen.

I was aggrieved when I first read the story of Asma a couple of years ago..
Putting a picture with the story, is all the more heartrending.. what an amazing beautiful human being she was.. amazing those eyes and that smile.. so fragile, yet so very full of warmth, hope and life.. I meet with folks of excess, decadence.. who never once sport a smile as pure or sincere as hers.. Sob7an Allah
May Allah yer7mha and grant her heaven's high meed ma3a arafeeq al'a3la
grant mercy, pease and blessings to this Muslim umma those who are living and those who have passed on
Ameen
Text without context is pretext If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him
i read the blog ages back but that story is so sad :'(
May Allah bless Asma and her family.
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
