In a recent conversation she said, "I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, _for whom I have suffered the loss of all things_ ...

and I still continue, by the grace of Him Exalted, and by the merits of Jesus Christ my Saviour, awaiting a happy death, and everlasting rest." KHOZMA.
Her Christian experience is like that of Khozma Ata.

She is the only female member of the Protestant church in Syria from among the Druzes, except Sitt Abla.

She was born, in Beirut of the Druze family of Witwat, and when quite a child was taken by Dr.Beadle, then by Miss Tilden, living at one time in Aleppo, then in Jerusalem, and finally settled in the family of Dr.De Forest, where she continued until his departure for America in 1854.

For several years she has been an invalid, and is not often able to leave her house, even to go to church.
