City of Belmont - Ruth Faulkner Public Library

The couple had been praying when a gunman burst into the mosque and shot and killed 51 people and injured many others. In this book Husna's husband, Farid Ahmed, tells Husna's story, including the day of the attack. Farid describes the selflessness and bravery with which Husna lived her life. As well as looking after her paraplegic husband, Husna was an important member of the community, helping women and running classes for children. Her last selfless act was going back into the mosque to look for her husband on that fateful day, after she had already led some other women and children to safety. Husna's husband, quite incredibly, forgives the alleged killer. Farid's remarkable philosophy of forgiveness, peace and love is an example of how faith can be a tool for navigating the most horrific of tragedies.
