Wide Reaction to Video Showing Huda Shaarawi Praying

A touching video clip captured the late Syrian artist Huda Shaarawi performing her prayers at home just one day before her passing, gaining widespread circulation across social media platforms, accompanied by prayers for her mercy and forgiveness.

Close family sources revealed that her grandson, Ahmed Al-Hariri, filmed the clip during his usual visit to his grandmother, unaware that he was documenting her last peaceful moments, which later became a moving humanizing glimpse into her life.

The clip was widely shared by followers, accompanied by heartfelt messages and prayers, emphasizing that this final spiritual appearance reflects her devotion to prayer and closeness to God, revealing a calm and humble side of her personality away from the spotlight.

In a related context, the family of Huda Shaarawi previously denied the involvement of any third party in the crime that took her life, confirming that the maid committed the act alone, with no accomplice or mastermind, and clarifying all rumors circulated on social media.

Her daughter’s husband, Ghassan Al-Hariri, and grandson Ahmed Al-Hariri stated that investigations revealed a note written by the maid before the crime, indicating premeditation and intent, despite the family’s good treatment of her.

The family confirmed that the maid suffered no psychological or mental disorders and was treated as part of the family, with all medical tests conducted beforehand to ensure her health condition.

According to the family, the Ugandan maid used a pestle (“hawun”) to strike Huda Shaarawi’s head before smashing it and later attempted to set the house on fire, suggesting premeditation.

Ghassan Al-Hariri denied all reports about deporting the maid to Uganda for investigation, affirming that her trial will take place inside Syria and emphasizing the family’s full trust in the Syrian judiciary to restore justice for the late artist.

Ahmed Al-Hariri expressed his gratitude to artists and fans for attending the funeral and offering condolences, stating that this solidarity reflects Huda Shaarawi’s status and the love her audience has for her.
