HONORING KHADIJAH MUHAMMAD FARRAKHAN
(Mr. JACKSON of Illinois asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. JACKSON of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, we gather today with grateful
hearts to honor a remarkable woman whose life was not measured merely
by the years she lived but by the lives she lifted.
Mrs. Khadijah Muhammad Farrakhan reminds us that history is often
shaped not only by those who stand behind the microphone, but also
those who stand faithfully beside it. She was a devoted mother who
nurtured character before success, a gracious teacher whose lessons
were written as much by example as by instruction, and a faithful
servant whose deepest desire was to honor Almighty God through a life
of discipline, dignity, and love.
She walked beside her husband of 72 years, the Honorable Louis
Farrakhan, not simply as a spouse, but as a trusted companion,
counselor, and partner in purpose. She leaves us a testimony that
greatness is not found in prominence alone but in perseverance, not in
position but in purpose, not in acclaim but in unwavering faithfulness.
We honor her memory by living the virtues she embodied: faith that
never faltered, love that never failed, service that never ceased, and
hope that never surrendered.
Well-done, good and faithful servant.
May God grant her eternal peace, comfort her and her beloved family,
and continue to let the light of her life shine through generations yet
to come.
