In a world full of challenges, we rarely find someone who turns pain and suffering into a driving force towards the top. The heroine, Imad’s daughter, daughter of Iraq and Diyala..She gave us a new lesson in determination and resilience when she raised the Iraqi flag high in the sky of Paris, achieving the gold medal in the 2024 Paralympic Games in table tennis.

For years, Najla has been facing harsh circumstances, both personally and socially. Despite all the storms that tried to hinder her path, she never bowed down. Rather, she continued on her path, clinging to hope and dream, refusing to stop or back down. With indomitable determination, she began her journey towards excellence, defying all the difficulties she faced, and was able to turn her adversity into a springboard for success.

The moment of victory was amazing, not only because she won the gold medal, but because her smile at that time spoke of every story of struggle she had lived. As she stood in the heart of Paris, with the golden medal in her hands, a look of pride was evident on her face, not only because she had achieved a personal achievement, but because she carried with her the pride of all of Iraq.

Najla taught us that a strong will does not know the impossible. You taught us that a person is capable of overcoming all the pain he goes through if he clings to his dream and continues on his path with determination. The Iraqi champion was not just an athlete winning a medal, but rather a message of hope for everyone facing life's difficulties.

She is the daughter of Iraq, the heroine who proved that the struggle does not stop at borders, and that victory awaits those who persevere and persevere. Her achievement is a medal not only for her, but for every Iraqi who is proud of her ability to overcome all circumstances and raise the flag of Iraq in international forums.

... Imad's daughter.... You are not only a champion in sports, but a role model in steadfastness and will.
