As all but one of the ladies are scheduled to return home on Tuesday, a young Australian ISIS bride who traveled to Syria with her closest friend expressed her desire to die “for the sake of Allah.”
While searching for their jihadi husbands with her closest friend Hodan Abby, childcare worker Hafsa Mohamed, 20, from Lakemba in Sydney’s west, spoke on social media about “how great” a martyr’s death would be.
Ms. Abby has been stuck at the al-Roj refugee camp since the collapse of the Islamic State after Ms. Mohamed was killed in the combat zone in 2015.
Ms. Abby, who was eighteen when she traveled to Syria, is currently one of seven Australian women known as ISIS brides who have ties to Islamic State fighters and are attempting to return home with their 14 children.
Nesrine Zahab, her aunt Aminah Zahab, and her cousin Sumaya Zahab are also attempting to return to Australia. Hyam Raad, Kawsar Kanj, and Kirsty Rosse-Emile are among the others.
Before being permitted to purchase flights home, the party left the prison camp on Thursday and traveled to Damascus for questioning.
According to press reports, the majority of the women will arrive in Sydney on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
A temporary exclusion order issued by the government has prohibited one unnamed ISIS bride from returning to Australia due to national security concerns; however, her kid is permitted to travel back with the other ladies.
According to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, the cohort was not receiving aid from the federal government.

When the conflict started, Ms. Mohamed and Ms. Abby were two of the first Australians to visit Syria on their own.
In December 2014, they took planes to Turkey and crossed the border into Syria after lying to their parents about going on vacation.
Ms. Mohamed claimed she yearned to be a martyr “for the sake of Allah” and used the internet to find a husband who was traveling to the Middle East before they departed.
She wrote, “How wonderful it is to be martyred for the sake of Allah and enter into a transaction with him by giving him your life and he will repay you with Jannah.” “If any mature guy wanted to go to Syria or Palestine would propose, I would accept without hesitation, though he should be on his deen and must have a beard.”
“Pray that my wish to visit Syria comes true.” I want to talk to my mother about it, but I’m scared to do so. Although Australia is pleasant, I would want to be in Syria.
Ms. Abby survived her death in 2015 and gave birth to a daughter the following year.
In 2014, protesters from Kashmir raised an Islamic State of Iraq flag.

The girl’s growth and brain development were delayed when she was a baby due to shrapnel wounds to her head, neck, and back. She needed surgery, but the camp did not provide it.
Her father Abby Elmi Abane migrated to Australia with his family from Kenya in the late 1990s, and said children who remain in the camps are exposed to radicalisation.
‘The children, my granddaughter, have been living in these conditions for years. He previously informed the journalists, “Help is overdue.”
He said Ms. Abby had given up her radical views and regrets going to Syria.
If she was permitted to return, she had already consented to be watched over by the Australian government under a Terrorism Control Order.
Ms Rosse-Emile previously claimed she was tricked into entering the warzone n 2014 with her Islamic State fighter husband Nabil Kadmiry, who she married when she was 14.
She declined to reveal how she got to Syria in an interview with the ABC last year because it “could create problems for me.”
At the age of 14, Kirsty Rosse-Emile wed IS fighter Nabil Kadmiry.

Her former roommate Sara*, whose identity has been kept a secret, recently told the Daily Mail that she was fully aware of what she was doing when she traveled to Syria to swear loyalty to IS.
Ms Rosse-Emile, who was known by her Islamic name Asma, was 17 and staying in a self-contained unit attached to Sara’s place on the outskirts of Melbourne in 2010 when a mutual friend asked whether she wanted to go back to school.
‘Asma turned around and said “I don’t want to go to school, I want to go and make bombs”,’ Sara recalled.
“Hello, I’m here,” Ms. Rosse-Emile said in her letter to the Albanese government last year. “We’re ready to start our lives afresh, so please just come get me, my kids, and all the other Australians here.”
Ms. Rosse-Emile posted supportive remarks about IS on her Facebook accounts before to her departure for Syria.
“Jihad” was written in the posts. “The only solution” and “Lions of Islam,” with pictures of terrorists superimposed.
In response to Ms. Rosse-Emile’s allegations that she was duped into traveling to Syria, her father told The Nightly last year that his daughter was lying.
In February, Kirsty Rosse-Emile is shown on the left with other ISIS brides trying to go from the Al Roj refugee camp in northeastern Syria to the capital, Damascus.

‘When she said, “Oh, I was tricked” and all that, it’s not true,’ he said.
‘In the way of Islam, when we go and fight for the cause of Allah, either you’re victorious or you are vanquished, but you don’t surrender, because it’s one of the greatest sins that somebody could [commit].
In her early 20s, Nesrine Zahab traveled to Syria from Sydney. She had previously told Four Corners that she had accidentally crossed the conflict zone while on vacation with family in Lebanon.
Then, since she believed it would increase her chances of survival, she wed Ahmed Merhi, an Islamic State terrorist from Sydney who was given a death sentence in Iraq.
In 2019, she told the show that she went to assist refugees on the Turkish side of the border with a female cousin and “freaked out” when someone requested her passport.
She realized she was in Syria when she saw the Islamic State (IS) flag. Have I suffered a heart attack? In 2019, she remarked, “Of course I had a heart attack.”
In her early 20s, Nesrine Zahab (pictured) claims she was unaware that she was traveling to Syria. Later on, she wed Ahmed Merhi, a suspected IS militant.
Ahmed Merhi (left), the husband of Nesrine Zahab, was given a death sentence in Iraq for his role in IS. “Did I cry and scream and chuck a fit like a little girl?” I threw the largest fit. Did it work? No. I remain here.
Muhammad Zahab, a math teacher who later joined the Islamic State, was killed in an airstrike in 2018. Aminah Zahab is his mother.
In 2019, she told the ABC that her son had deceived her and her husband Hicham into traveling to Syria.
“As we raised our children, we just let the children rule our lives…I feel very angry,” she added. “We’re clueless parents; we had a lot of trust in our children.”

Information regarding Ms. Kanmj and Ms. Raad is not available to the public.
It’s unknown if any of the women will be charged with a crime when they get to Australia.
