"Grieving Palestinian American mother calls for prayers for peace after son's tragic death"

Hanaan Shahin, a Palestinian American woman whose 6-year-old son was killed in an apparent anti-Muslim attack in Illinois, has urged people to "pray for peace." Shahin, who was stabbed multiple times along with her son, expressed no hatred but emphasized the importance of justice. She is recovering well and credits her speedy recovery to the prayers of others. Shahin's statement highlights her son's positive qualities and her acceptance of God's test. The suspect, their landlord, has been charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, hate crimes, and aggravated battery.
