“While Joody knew her baba was gone, it was clear she was trying to process a date in the calendar that had always been special.”
“Her grandparents gave her a hug and a kiss on her forehead and tried explaining that it is awkward to celebrate the birthday of someone who has passed away so recently.”
“But an hour later, she came back... What if we celebrate baba’s birthday not by singing him a birthday song, but instead by reading the Quran?”
“We find refuge in the Quran in good times and in bad times, so we all thought it made sense to remember Moataz by reading holy verses.”
