They can shoot my head but they can't shoot my dreams !!
Malala Yousafzai
Malala Yousafzai

My hero is one of the most courageous and wonderful people I've ever known; she is Malala Yousafzai, the 17th years old Pakistani girl who was born in July 1997 and the youngest Nobel Prize Winner ever. She is that great Muslim girl who prematurely defended her right of education and her freedom of speech as well.

Malala Yousafazai is a remarkable young girl who understands her religion" Islam" well and who challenged the ignorant and the dark-minded militants "Taliban" who wanted to deprive girls in Pakistan from their right and duty at the same time of having education (according to the teachings of Islam). Despite their failure attempt to stop her from achieving her goal by shooting Malala in the head, Malala never gave up her education. As after her recovery from such horrible accident Malala decided to continue her education in England.

Malala is not only a live example of a remarkable Muslim girl for her openness and well understanding of her religion but also for her unprecedented courage and determination to fulfill her dream of having education, thanks to her open minded parents who encouraged and supported her along. And for Being unselfish and strongly determined dreamer Malala didn't keep her dream to herself but she bravely wanted to spread her message worldwide, that's why Malala had many inspiring and brave campaigns and initiatives around the world advocating the children's rights of education !

Malala is also a remarkably intelligent and wise girl and she had many inspiring sayings; one of such quotes is "One pen, one book and one teacher can change the whole world". Another hugely impressive quote Malala said when she was interviewed by the well known TV announcer Christiane Amanpour on CNN, "They can shoot my head but they can't shoot my dreams". And also her valuable advice to all children "is to value education"

In spite of her very young age , Malala deserves right to be one of the Peace Nobel Prize Winners in 2014 for her contributions to humanity especially children and to Islam by her well understanding and interpretation to its teachings.
