Mother of Martyr: We ululate since “our child is going... to marry the Dark-Eyed Virgins”

A Martyr’s mother: "We say ‘praise Allah’ for everything. It's our duty to give ourselves and our children [for [N2] the cause]. Praise Allah, it's true that this hurts and that we feel agony and pain. Today, every day and every moment, I miss my son. I'll never forget my son. It's true what they say that we ululate (i.e., make sounds of joy) for our [dead] children because our child is going to Heaven to marry the Dark-Eyed Virgins, Allah willing. May Allah make a dwelling for him in the highest Paradise. It’s not that we don't love our children. We do love our children, but also our homeland. We say ‘Allah willing’ and maintain our resolve..."
General Union of Palestine Workers Widad Manawil: "We tell all women to learn from the resolve of Palestinian women, from the one bidding her Martyr son farewell and the one welcoming her prisoner son with ululations."
