Khowis: We maintained al-Aqsa by Ribat in it and for it<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Khadija Ahmed Khowis, one of the most notable Murabitat in Masjid al-Aqsa. She is firmly willing to give her life to the Masjid. For her, nothing can be put before it, neither her soul nor her family.<\/span><\/p>\n She considers Ribat an honorable duty, as she believes that sacrificing our souls for al-Aqsa is a true glory in this world and the afterlife, and that standing up for al-Aqsa should be a doctrine. Whenever she is in its courtyards, her time is spent between educating students and defending the Masjid from the Israeli army and settlers. When she was forced to leave, she stood at its gates to fight the soldiers and settlers by shouting the cries of “Allah is Great” along with the other Murabitat in the faces of the aggressors. Indeed, it is an outcry stronger than bullets and bombs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Quranic journey with Al-Aqsa \u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Khadija Khowis, born in 27\/8\/1977, is married to Dr. Ibrahim Abu Ghalia.
