To the Mother of my beloved Brother Ali and Sister Haya

"I will never forget your generous and genuine character. I do not have the words to thank you Mama Alia or express my gratitude for having chosen me, and making me a part of King Hussein (Baba's) family. Ever since, It has been the greatest honor of my life.

I wish I had the chance to have more time with you, for I remember how warm and kind you were".

Her love for children was enormous and her character was magnetic. Ali and Haya have always protected and defended me since Her death as their sister. At this time in my life, I cannot thank Mama Alia enough for the purist gift She gave me – the gift of my Brother and Sister, Ali and Haya.

princess Haya talking about Abir : http://www.queenalia.org/QASite_content.html


Abir was my mother's first child. My mother was four months pregnant with me when She adopted Abir. I found an interview explaining the circumstances that led to Abir becoming my older sister… "It all started" She said "When I had problems with my wisdom teeth in July and could not join His Majesty on His visit to London. In the King Hussein Medical Centre where I had my teeth removed, the nurses told me about a little girl who survived a tragic accident. She and her father were her family's only survivors when their home on the edge of Amman airport, was destroyed by a Soviet Topilov aircraft that crashed on it. Her mother, brothers and sisters were all killed in the accident. It was a miracle that she survived. When they took her out from under the rubble and the aeroplane itself, they thought she was also dead. The poor girl was lying there for four hours when they realized that she was alive. They took her to the hospital. She was all covered with sand and dust so they had to clean her up first. "When I first saw her, she was still very sick". Mama spoke to Abir's father. He told her that he could not bring up Abir by himself and he was going to put her in an orphanage. My mother asked him if She could take care of her. He agreed and was so touched that he cried on Her shoulder for two hours, in the hospital.
Mama fell in love with Abir straightaway. At her request, specialists flew in from around the world to try and save her life. "She would not respond, no matter what they did". "They thought she would never survive but she had a strong heart… I don’t know… I just carried her in my arms until the day she started to get better and I was able to take her home. I promised myself not to let anything hurt her again. When His Majesty came from London, He found me crying with relief and holding a baby in my arms. His Majesty and I have had her sleeping in our bed, trying to give her our strength and hoping that our love will keep her alive. She had been very sick for the first five weeks; she had measles and pneumonia. Then she started to improve slowly. "Now she is stable and she has her own bedroom next to ours, the same bedroom we prepared for the baby that I am expecting". When asked if Abir would move to another bedroom once the baby is born, She answered, "Of course, not, God blessed us with our first child and that child is Abir. Her sister or brother will be brought up loving her as if she was my own flesh and blood. She will never be taken away from me". In another interview with my mother, She was asked about my impending birth and how She felt about having Her first child; Her answer was "I already had my first child".
When my mother died, Abir and I took shifts holding Ali at night. Sometimes, I would wake up in those days, which were like a long nightmare and we only slept when sleep was kind enough to come, only to find her sitting over me blinking her tired red eyes from crying and lack of sleep. I would ask her "What are you doing up? Why aren't you sleeping?" She would hug me and say "Mama watched over me and I am going to watch over you forever, the same way she did to me".
Abir has grown into a beautiful young woman who would have made my mother proud of her. She is incredibly intelligent, witty and one of the most tender and thoughtful people I have ever known. Her heart is so full of love and affection. She has spent much of her time helping orphans, whom she says were not so fortunate as she was. She completed a Masters Degree in counselling and now works with children and young people, dealing with their recruitments for Scholarships in American Universities.
I smiled when I read how Abir fought for her own life when she was only six months old. Reading about it in my mother's own words made me understand one thing that had always amazed me, about Abir. She is never bitter and does not dwell over her losses. She is always grateful for what God gave her. She lost her own mother, then mine, then Maureen our Nanny, then my father and yet she always smiles and thanks God for what she has. My mother would have been proud to see how much dignity and compassion her first child has even after all the unhappiness fate has thrown her way.

In honour of Abir

There are plenty of institutions, streets etc. named after various members of the Royal family. Just wondering, if anything has been named after Abir the subtly forgotten child of the JRF.:mad:
 
the story of abir is such a sweet one. it really says a lot about the jordanian family and about how passionate and hospitable they are.

i just have a doubt: was abir adopted in jordan or in the states? what does she do in the states? was it because of a recommendation from queen noor?

what is known about her education or degree?

Was abir present on the wedding of prince Ali and princess Haya?
 
She was at Ali's wedding,I've seen photos and I think I've seen a picture of her from Hamzah's as well.
I cannot remember seeing her in the photos of Haya's wedding.
 
Maybe she prefers helping people quietly without the press intrusion.

...and she could be keeping a low profile because of security reasons. She does belong to the royal family even when it's by adoption. And the higher the profile more the chances of being followed and targeted by tabloids...or worst things. :ermm:
 
Abir has a very pretty face. She is a little overweight and I think if she thinner, she would be stunning. I do not think she has the same money for dresses as other ladies from the royal family or perhaps she likes to keep a low profile and appearance isn't the most important for her. She is beautiful in a natural way.
 
I wonder How credible is that?

Heres a little about Abir on wikipedia: Link*
Also there bit on info on princess haya web sites: Link*
Thats about all we seen on Abir

Thank you Princess Mahala for the links to news about Abir. She has become a very accomplished young woman. The Royal Family have reason to be very proud of her. She is a credit to her adoptive parents. Thank you again.

I wonder if Miss Abir still have contact with the JRF

i dont know about her relationship to prince ali and princess haya, but I know that she is close to queen noors family and her children....and they are part of the JRF. but I think she is also close to pH and pA....
 
Love pics of King Hussein with his children. Such affection and always big smiles.
 
Very Beautiful. Resembles Jacqueline Kennedy.

I am curious about the whereabouts of Abeer Muhaisin and if anybody has any recent pictures or links to news related to Abeer Muhaisin.

This is one of the recent images I found on the net for Abeer.
 
Hi Reina!

She was at PHamzah's wedding but was excluded from other official photo's. Abir is a Palestinian orphan and once the late KHussein saw her in the hospital he immediately adopted her. She is referred to as a daughter of KH but her surname is always cited so as to show lineage.

Its Political correctness at work, because Islam does not permit adoption. Also the topic of a persons progeny is quite a delicate matter, hence they tend to tip toe around it.

She wasn't at Phamzah's wedding? ALso, isn't her father still alive. But I totally see what you are saying. She is ignored.
 
With my due respect, Islam does not prohibit adoption, but encourage people to take care of children who has lost their one or both of their parents. What Islam does not advice is to change the family name of the child you adopt. In that way Islam tries to protect the child from some possible troubles, such as marrying a brother/ sister or a very close relative in the future unknowingly . Even in today's world where billions of people live and produce children, we hear such unbeliavable but true stories. When the closed community of Arab World in the first years of Islam is taken into consideration, it is something understandable. But today a lot of Muslim people adopt children and bring up them as if they are their real sons or daughters and don't choose to declare their child is adopted. It is a matter of choice in today's world.:)
Also, IMO Aber should be more visible, because she is a part of the family. She is King Hussein's and Queen Alia's daughter. She should be included in official photos. I think That would not create any problems with Jordanians, but improve the image of JRF.
 
Hi wingsofsky!

Not to worry hun :flowers: I meant that traditionally it was outlawed (and carried stigmata) and the family name could not be bequeathed to the adopted Child.

Although adoptions are permissible today by way of amendments of the state (and I agree Islam encourages one to look after orphans) the family name is still not bequeathed ie Ms. Abir Muhaisen.

She was raised as you said but in certain circles the stigmata still exists. :flowers: :flowers:

With my due respect, Islam does not prohibit adoption, but encourage people to take care of children who has lost their one or both of their parents. What Islam does not let is changing the family name of the child you adopt.

I strongly agree with NoorMeansLight. :ermm:Roshanah, I just wanted to clearify the issue as other people who have no idea about Islam might misunderstand.:flowers:

I agree with you, wingo;) but even if she isn't included in official photos, IMO she is still in her sister and her brother's hearts. :flowers: (WOW I am not very good at giving flowers indeed:whistling:)

I do think the same ; if she was not included in pics before maybe cause of her decision ; I even do not allow myself to say that her brothers and sisters neglected her . I heard before she is married in USA and that the King gave her a title (princess )

she is not being neglected...and she has strong bonds to the Queens family, her Grandmother aka the Queens mother, her aunt and uncle aka the Queens siblings, children, nephews and nieces.... I can't tell about her relationship to her other siblings... (PHaya, PAli, ...)
 
I do think the same, but IMO she should be included in official photos, too I mean in the ones the whole family appears.:flowers: In the past, when King Hussein was alive, she was nearly always in the family photos. If it is her own choice, Hey, Abir, come out and say Hello. We missed you a lot.:D:w00t:
 
Hi Noor means light, I was responding to a post that was questioning another post, which stated that Abir was excluded from P.Hamzah's former wedding :flowers:

I know the late K. Hussein didn't exclude her, I was refering to after his death :eek: there were significantly fewer pictures with Abir present (although she was in attendance). The same thing happened to Princess Haya. :eek:

This sort of thing wouldn't have happened during K. Hussein's reign. :D

... But the late King never 'excluded' Abir from the family's official photos... :ermm:
