Three Israeli judges will hear a case this week brought on behalf of a
six-year-old Palestinian girl who was paralysed from the neck down in an
Israeli missile attack.
The High Court judges will be asked to decide whether the Israeli government
should help Marya Aman, from Gaza, who depends on a life-support machine, by
allowing her to stay in Israel with continuing financial support from the
authorities. Her supporters say if she loses the case it will amount to a death
sentence.
Marya, who has been sustained in part by donations of more than £38,000 from
readers of The Sunday Times, has chosen to attend the hearing in person.
Two years ago an Israeli plane targeted a vehicle in Gaza and killed a
Palestinian militant. But the blast also hit the Amans’ car, killing Marya’s
mother and grandmother, her elder brother and her uncle.
She was discharged from the Alin hospital in Jerusalem last year but cannot
leave because the authorities refuse to grant her residency, although they bear
the £10,000-a-month cost of her hospital bills and school fees.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy
Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
