A family in the UAE has fulfilled their late daughter’s dream of publishing her book just over a year after her tragic death in an accident. Dr Mira Murad Al Blooshi, 27, lost her life in a crash caused by a reckless driver last year.
For four years, the Emirati doctor worked tirelessly on a book about Islam, hoping to share it with the world. After her passing, her family made it their mission to bring her vision to life.
Dr Mira dreamed of signing her book, Ma Gabla AlNoor, which means Before the Light, which explores life before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Her family included her signature and note: "May Allah grant you success and guidance, bless you in your times, and manage your affairs for what He loves and is pleased with, and make life easy for you."
Her family worked hard to get the book published and, in November, it was launched during the Sharjah International Book Fair. The family donated the book's proceeds to charitable organisations and provided free copies to those who could not afford them.

On the morning of November 12, 2023, Dr Mira was on her way to work when she got involved in an accident.
"My sister was in two accidents within minutes," said Ahmed Al Blooshi, Dr Mira's 26-year-old brother who works at a Sharjah government department.
"On her way to work from Sharjah, a reckless driver swerved around her, causing a minor accident. When she pulled over, another speeding car crashed into her from behind," he said, recalling the painful details of the accident.
Dr Mira sustained critical injuries, including one in the head injury that led to a tumour that required surgery. She fought for her life for two weeks.
"She died at the same hospital she was working at," her brother said.
"Mira was not just my sister; she was like a second mother to me. No amount of money can replace her; her loss has left a significant emptiness in our family."
Ahmed also had a message for reckless drivers: "Your recklessness destroys families and shatters dreams. Your careless actions could bring sadness to others and end lives."
Dr Mira had a passion for Islamic history and the biography of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), dedicating herself to research in these areas. "It was a big loss to our family and UAE community as Mira was a hardworking and dedicated person," Ahmed said.
Dr Mira was already preparing to write a second book titled Noor Ala Noor, which means Light Upon Light. She had already gathered sources and created a plan for it, Ahmed said. Her family is now trying to write the book on her behalf based on her notes and plans to publish it soon.
The hardworking doctor from Kalba obtained her bachelor's degree in medicine and surgery from the University of Sharjah. She was a resident physician in the Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care at Rashid Hospital.
She also earned a master's degree in quality and safety in Healthcare Facilities Management from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
