In March 2024. I met Khaled Shaban in the courtyard of al-aqsa hospital.
As I approached him, he smiled, welcomed me with open arms, we embraced, and spoke for about 10 minutes.
In this short video, you can hear the drones that perpetually swarmed over his head, as those of all the children in Gaza.
He told me "Allah loves all people. Whether you are Jewish, Muslim, Christian or anything else, Allah loves you as he loves all his children."
He also explained to me that he was aware of the Canadian governments support of 🇮🇱, but that the people of Canada he always found to be kind and warm. Blame should be on governments and institutions @JustinTrudeau@melaniejoly
As we now pass a year into 🇮🇱 jenocide, know that 🇮🇱 can kill 10s of thousands of Palestinians, destroy their homes, hospital, mosques amd schools- but 🇮🇱 can never destroy Palestinians humanity.
Genuinely curious what went through the mind of the Israel pilot that murdered Khaled Nabhan today?
What was the pilot's commander thinking when he ordered the kill?
Was Khaled such a great danger b/c of his kindness & purity? b/c he was feeding the starved? spreading hope?
This is journalist Mohammed Baalousha, who was killed today by Israel.
I want you to take a moment to look at his leg and understand that, despite his condition, he continued to cover the suffering of his people.
🔴 Palestinian grandfather Khaled Nabhan, known for his emotional farewell to his granddaughter Reem, “the soul of my soul,” was killed today in an Israeli airstrike in #Gaza.
His video bidding farewell to his granddaughter Reem has deeply touched the hearts of millions across the world.
May Allah reunite them in Jannatul Firdous, Ameen!
For decades, they brainwashed the world to believe terrorists look like Khaled while saviors look like Matt.
Billions of dollars spent on propaganda to dehumanize Palestinians and Arabs so that the world would not care for when they are killed. That the one that wears the suit is good and the one who wears the thobe is evil. All for the world to see the truth of how beautiful the Khaleds of the world really are. Free Palestine. End the occupation.
He reminds me of the hadith - “when Allah loves a person he commands the angels and all of the inhabitants of earth to love him..”
How many people have a heavy heart today, though they’ve never met him.
Khaled Nabhan. The soul of our soul. Still smiling.
“And do not think of those who have been slain in the way of Allah as dead. Rather they are alive being provided for by their Lord. Rejoicing over what Allah has given to them of His grace…” (Quran 3:169-179)
Today a righteous man was killed by the most wicked army on earth. Khaled Nabhan who we watched bid farewell to his beloved Reem, the soul of our soul, has joined her in the realm of souls where the wickedness of this so called humanity will no longer reach them. The man had an angelic presence to say the least. He smiled in the face of a genocide, and went around hospitals and camps comforting people despite his own pain. A man who seemed too good to be here. I longed for the day to meet him in person. I imagined the day the genocide would be over and he would be celebrated with awards around the world on the biggest stages. The demonized turbaned Muslim man who was everything they said he couldn’t be. Kind. Loving. Righteous. Resilient. Too good for this world. Our hearts are broken. I won’t post the picture of his bloodied face, just the smile they tried to make the world unsee. May Allah have mercy on you our brother and join you with your beloved Reem and Rasul ﷺ, and may we join you there one day too.
