Thank you very much for the reference to the film about Noor-un-Nisa.
Unfortunately, I have not yet managed to watch it. Is it perhaps only
available in the USA?
Thank you for asking! Astaghfirullah! i had not realized it’s only available in the US so far, with a website based in St. Louis, but the people who created it are working on bringing it to Europe and beyond so hopefully that will come to fruition soon.
I tried but i cannot watch this movie. I treasure Noor’s life and honor her path of resistance and the extreme sacrifices she made but it is too difficult to have these impressions in my heart.
Please be advised if you choose to watch that it is very graphic. Give your heart some protection. I went to Dachau when I was a very young woman, not yet acquainted with Murshid’s teachings and that experience is forever seared in my heart.
The short film is very powerful. (And, as Zebunissa notes, graphic.) It gives a glimpse of the bravery and faith and beauty of Noor despite being such dark, dark hours. Sam Naz and all who created the film have a sensitive touch to the reality of Noor’s service and captivity.
