In Islam, Allah is the Great Planner. The widows submit to his plan, even though it can be painful and confusing. We deep dive into Muhubo's past. Neha's family arrives from Bangladesh.
Allah is often called 'The Great Planner' and even terrible events like the Christchurch mosque attacks are considered to happen for a reason.
In episode six, as we near the end of our journey with four of the widows of shuhada, the women reflect on how their beliefs have helped their healing journey.
Some Muslim women like Muhubo prefer not to have their faces photographed. In a rare gesture, Muhubo has shared a wedding photo from the day she married Sheikh Muse in Christchurch in 2003.
Muhubo's parents paid officials, militia, and others with the gold from their jewellery shop in Mogadishu, Somalia, buying their way to a safe exit from what was becoming in the late 1980s one of the most dangerous places in the world.
Asha, Muhubo and her mother Amina in Muhubo's new Housing New Zealand home that is large enough for the six adults in her family. Since moving out of their overcrowded house, Muhubo is happier and her health is improving.
Muhubo finally has her own room that is quiet and private. Since her husband died and she moved in with her family, all of her belongings have been in one bag.
After months of being without family as a new mother and trying to realise her husband's dream of raising their daughter in New Zealand, Neha now has her closest family members with them. Neha's mother, Shafia Begum, and younger brother Faysal have arrived from Bangladesh.
Farah sometimes misses Atta the most when she takes their daughter Aya to the playground where other families play together.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
