Good News: Faten has been found!

Posted on September 23, 2007 by Tariq Nelson

UPDATE 9/24/07 8:07AM: From Abu Sinan

Thank you all for your prayers and your actions in this time of need.  May Allah help her recover and get back to her old self again.

It was wonderful to see people pull together so quickly.

Thank you from the Mawyah family.

——————

I just received a phone call from Abu Sinan who informed me that the police have found Faten and she is safe. We will update further a little later when he gets a more information, but Abu Sinan says that she suffered a psychological breakdown.

Abu Sinan and his family send their thanks to everyone for their concern and prayers

    MASHA’ALLAH, ALHAMDUILLAH WA ALLAHU AKBAR! LAST NIGHT I OULD NOT SLEEP. I OFTEN WOKE AND THOUGHT OF FATEN AND MADE DUA FOR HER. I KEPT ASKING MYSELF, WHERE COULD SHE BE?” AND EVEN TRIED TO PLAY DETETIVE IN MY HEAD. I TRIED HARD NOT TO DESPAIR AND TRIED HARD NOT TO THINK ABOUT HOW MOST MISSING PERSON ASES END. AT ONE POINT I EVEN CONSIDERED THE FACT THAT MAYBE SHE WAS HAVING SOME PERSONAL PROBLEMS, BUT ABU SINAN DIDN’T MENTION THAT BEING A POSSIBLITY.

    i THANK ALLAH FOR HER SAFE RETEURN. I THANK ALLAH FOR MAKING THE MUSLIMS A UNIFYING BODY WHO OME TOGTHER IN TIMES LIKE THIS. I PRAY THAT ALLAH HELP RECTIFY FATEN’S AFFAIRS AND STRENGTHEN HER EEMAAN.

    so often i give up hope when i read about missing people before i’ve even reached the last sentence. it’s good to know there are reasons not to.
    prayers still for her recovery and continued well-being.

    May Allah allow her to recover from this, soon. Ameen
    And may Allah bless all those who helped in this mission to find her. Ameen!!!

    Alhamdulillah, she was found safe. I was just talking to my good friend Bint Will the other day about the sadness that I felt anytime I would pass by a 7-11 or convenience store wondering about the fate of our sister. Our duas were answered. Allahu Akbar!

    Alhumdulillah,
    With all the du’as and well wishes, I am glad this story has a happy ending. Please tell the sister so many of us do care about her well being. Insha’Allah, she will make a speedy recovery. Emotional and psychological distress can be just as hard to recover from as physical wounds.

    Alhamdullilah, Good news.

  38. Pity the Cedars, on October 6th, 2007 at 6:35 pm Said:

    Forgive me for asking, but wasn’t her so-called “disappearance” voluntary?
    http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0907/457479.html

    That would imply that she voluntarily left without informing her family and perhaps feared the repercussions if she did tell them that she was gone (in the company of a man, nonetheless).
    I understand her family’s concern, but at 26 she is a woman, not a child, nor the possession of her family.

  39. SLH, on October 6th, 2007 at 7:02 pm Said:

    Ya Habibi, Ya Abu Sinan, i think you have got the jist by now. you cannnot contniue to supress someones desire to express themselves through subjecting them to your ways of life. As you i was born into the world of islam, but when i became an adult i choose to leave (which as you know entitles you to kill me). My parents were supportive and there are no hard feelings. Indeed the honesty and acceptance has enchanced my relationship with them. It is obvious that your sister in law was doing the same. The fact that you went nuts asking god for her to be found and that she had run away volintarily and was found with someone obviously is the same type of thing as my experience. If you love your sister in law listen to her and accept who she chooses to be. Do us all a favour, spend your time listening and accepting rather than blogging and imposing your belifs on people who dont agree with you.
