Though the future of her war-scarred homeland remained uncertain, she looked forward to going back to Syria without fear, bringing all the love she had received in a foreign land with her.<\/p><p>The 13-year Syrian civil war ended on December 8, 2024, bringing a long-awaited glimmer of hope to more than ten million people displaced by the conflict. On April 19, 2025, Ismahan\u2019s family joined the growing number of returnees. Eight family members spanning four generations departed from Ar-Ramtha, a northern border city in Jordan, and headed for Daraa in southern Syria. The group included Ismahan, her husband, Mousa, her elderly parents, her daughter-in-law, and her grandchildren.<\/p><p>Tzu Chi volunteers in Jordan, holding back their emotions, accompanied the family to the Jaber border crossing. \u201cThe first thing I want to do when I get home is visit my son\u2019s grave,\u201d said Ismahan. \u201cI want to see my son.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4211ec3d elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4211ec3d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-12ae7d93\" data-id=\"12ae7d93\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17fcc29e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"17fcc29e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>A better next chapter<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b144a19 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3b144a19\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The war started on March 18, 2011. Ismahan and her husband fled to Ar-Ramtha with their family in late 2012. Their eldest son, Ali, later returned to Syria to take up arms. Sadly, he was killed in battle on September 28, 2013. \u201cThat day, my heart was buried with him,\u201d Ismahan said. Her grief was immeasurable.<\/p><p>As waves of displaced Syrian families poured into Jordan after the war erupted, Tzu Chi launched relief efforts to support the refugees, providing essentials, education assistance, medical aid, and winter fuel subsidies. In 2016, Chen Chiou Hwa (\u9673\u79cb\u83ef), head of Tzu Chi Jordan, and other volunteers knocked on Ismahan\u2019s door, bringing love with them. They offered not only long-term material support but also a path toward healing.<\/p><p>A gifted writer like her father, Musa Al Masri, Ismahan channeled her gratitude for Master Cheng Yen and the volunteers into poetry and prose. Her writing became not only a way for her to heal, but also a source of comfort and inspiration for other refugee mothers coping with grief.<\/p><p>Then came another trial: a severe bout of COVID-19. Tzu Chi provided her with an oxygen concentrator and medication, helping her recover. Her gratitude for the foundation only deepened.<\/p><p>Together with fellow Syrian Elham Aljawabra, Ismahan trained as a Tzu Chi volunteer and assisted with free clinics and winter aid distributions for refugees in Ar-Ramtha. But through it all, her heart remained in Syria, with her son Ali. When the war finally ended, her thoughts turned homeward.<\/p><p>Early on the morning of the day the family was set to depart, Elham, Jordanian Tzu Chi volunteers Khader Khalifeh and Lamiya Lin (\u6797\u7da0\u537f), and Syrian volunteer Mohamed Khir Alriz rushed from Amman to Ar-Ramtha to see them off, cherishing this final moment together before the family\u2019s long-awaited return.<\/p><p>\u201cThank Allah, today we\u2019re going home,\u201d said Ismahan. \u201cI know we might be surprised or even shocked when we arrive, but I believe we\u2019ll also find joy.\u201d She was apprehensive yet hopeful. Much had been lost, but she still held on to hope for the future: \u201cWe\u2019ve already endured so much. I\u2019m looking forward to a better next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-47722117 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"47722117\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4cb04616\" data-id=\"4cb04616\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42474b31 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"42474b31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1278\" height=\"959\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/142-23.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/142-23.jpg 1278w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/142-23-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/142-23-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/142-23-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1278px) 100vw, 1278px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16a44ff7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"16a44ff7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tzu Chi volunteers gather with Ismahan and her family on the day of their return to Syria.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43de3670 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"43de3670\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-26c2676e elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"26c2676e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-10596ba0\" data-id=\"10596ba0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-191e7d3a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"191e7d3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>Following the Master\u2019s teachings<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28f38a7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"28f38a7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As they prepared to return home, everyone busied themselves loading furniture and daily essentials onto a large truck, which now held more than ten years\u2019 worth of belongings and memories. Before long, Ismahan\u2019s once warm and cozy home stood empty. She felt a swirl of emotions\u2014sadness, gratitude, anticipation\u2014but she knew the time had come. No matter where life took her, she would continue to follow Master Cheng Yen\u2019s teachings, letting love guide her way. \u201cDear Compassionate Master,\u201d said Ismahan, \u201cwe will bring your teachings back to our country. We will be your hands to help suffering people in Syria, just as you have helped us.\u201d<\/p><p>Volunteer Khader struck up a conversation with the truck driver and learned that he had traveled between Ar-Ramtha and Daraa many times since the war had ended, helping Syrians return home. Ar-Ramtha is only a 30-minute drive from Daraa, but for the returning families, the journey marked the fulfillment of years of longing.<\/p><p>When everything was ready, the truck slowly pulled away, followed closely by the volunteers in their cars. Supplies were limited in post-war Syria, and the economic situation was dire. One Jordanian dinar, for instance, was worth about 15,000 Syrian lira. Given this reality, the family brought as much as they could: drinking water, bread, sugar, and other essentials. Even a refrigerator and gas stove were strapped to the roof of the truck. Ismahan\u2019s younger son, 33-year-old Mohammad, planned to stay behind in Jordan for another month to work and pay off debts. He packed a large bag of bread for his mother to take home.<\/p><p>The group made a quick stop at Ismahan\u2019s parents\u2019 house to pick them up. Ismahan\u2019s 87-year-old father, Musa, was blind. She gently whispered to him, \u201cTzu Chi volunteers are here to see us off.\u201d At these words, Musa burst into tears. Over the years in Jordan, Tzu Chi had helped cover their rent and medical bills, and monthly visits from volunteers had eased their loneliness. The bond that had formed between them was like that of a family. Out of gratitude, Musa said again and again to the volunteers, \u201cMay Allah bless you all with good luck and keep you healthy and safe.\u201d His words moved everyone to tears.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1ce085d elementor-section-full_width elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1ce085d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-11694b2\" data-id=\"11694b2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bdbbf96 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bdbbf96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ismahan holds plump bean pods in her hand at her brother\u2019s home, wearing a gentle smile that reflects her hope for the future. <span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Courtesy of Ismahan Al Masri<\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-daadb4e elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"daadb4e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cfcda55\" data-id=\"cfcda55\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cccfebb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cccfebb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1501\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/142-25.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/142-25.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/142-25-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/142-25-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2025\/07\/142-25-768x1153.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6ab7ea79 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6ab7ea79\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-76a83975\" data-id=\"76a83975\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71817669 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"71817669\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>In Tzu Chi\u2019s name<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16f14cf2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"16f14cf2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As Jordan\u2019s National Day on May 25 approached, the streets were decked with fluttering Jordanian flags. Ismahan\u2019s heart was full of gratitude for the country that had given her family\u2014and so many other Syrians\u2014sanctuary and humanitarian aid.<\/p><p>Elham was happy to see the family off, but she couldn\u2019t help voicing her concerns: \u201cMy brother and his family returned to Syria ten days ago. Life there isn\u2019t easy. He already regrets leaving Jordan. The situation is still unstable; there was even an explosion on the very day they arrived.\u201d<\/p><p>She explained that their hometown had no reliable electricity or running water\u2014just an hour and a half of electricity each day. The war\u2019s destruction was visible everywhere, and jobs were scarce. With no basic infrastructure and no essential systems in place, Elham had decided to stay in Jordan a while longer.<\/p><p>When the group reached the Jaber border crossing, Mohammad stepped out to present his family\u2019s refugee documents and process their exit paperwork. Volunteer Mohamed, himself a Syrian refugee, stood nearby, overcome with conflicting emotions. \u201cToday is both joyful and sorrowful,\u201d he said. \u201cJoyful, because they\u2019re finally returning home. Sorrowful, because we don\u2019t know when we\u2019ll meet again.\u201d Still, he gave thanks to Allah, and also to Master Cheng Yen and Tzu Chi for helping and protecting the family. \u201cMay Allah bless Tzu Chi and the Master,\u201d he said. \u201cNow that Ismahan and her family are crossing the border, I pray that everything goes smoothly and safely.\u201d<\/p><p>Hugs and kisses followed. Ismahan made a heartfelt pledge through her tears: \u201cNo matter where we are, we will follow in Tzu Chi\u2019s footsteps. I\u2019ve saved every envelope that held Tzu Chi\u2019s monthly relief funds. I\u2019ll keep using them\u2014to give in Tzu Chi\u2019s name and help others.\u201d<\/p><p>She had packed those envelopes in her luggage, along with her Tzu Chi trainee volunteer uniform. Eyes glistening, she told the volunteers, \u201cI\u2019ll wear my uniform in Syria when I go out to do good deeds. What Allah gives me, I\u2019ll share with the poor, in the name of our beloved Master. I\u2019m so grateful to be part of the Tzu Chi family. In our most difficult time, we found kinship with you.\u201d No words could fully capture her love for Tzu Chi and Master Cheng Yen.<\/p><p>The family finally crossed into Syria. Everyone in Jordan waited anxiously for news. An hour later, Ismahan sent a message. They had arrived safely in Daraa. Surrounded by relatives, they had shared lunch together.<\/p><p>For now, they were staying at her brother\u2019s home. The broad bean plants on his property were already in season. Ismahan sent a photo back of herself, standing outside holding plump bean pods in her hand.
