Six-year-old Noor was sitting sad idle in her house in Michigan when her mother Sadia Karamat asked her what was wrong.
She told her it was father-daughter dance night at her school. Unfortunately, the parents are divorced so she couldn’t take her father along. But then, her 17-year-old brother took her for the dance and the little one couldn’t be happier.
Noor’s brother Mohammad Hasher tweeted the pictures which went viral on social media.
Mohammad and his mother, Sadia Karamat, say they haven’t heard from his father since he and Sadia divorced six months ago.
“There was no hesitation on my end, I shouted, ‘I’ll take you to the daddy-daughter dance!’ ” says the loving brother. “She gets on my nerves a lot, but we’re so close. We lean on each other for support and depend on each other for happiness.
“She’s my world and my ray of sunshine!”
Noor, who is “so thankful” her brother accompanied her to the dance, says the duo danced the night away.
“We had a lot of fun,” Noor tells.
The first grader at 12th Street Elementary, was “ecstatic” when her big bro asked to take her to the event.
“She goes, “Wait, are you serious?!’ ” says Mohammad. “She doesn’t like to talk about dad, and I know I needed to be a father figure for her.”
Mohammad told their mom the plan, and she was totally on board.
“He’s such a good big brother,” Sadia tells. “I”m so proud of him for stepping up.”
The dance was at Noor’s elementary school on Saturday, so Mohammad immediately took Noor to Target for some last minute shopping.

“The theme was Alice in Wonderland, so we picked out something fun,” says Mohammad. “She modeled for me, and it was perfect! Everything came together last minute.”
“I loved my dress it was so sparkly,” adds Noor.
The brother and sister had a blast together — laughing and dancing all night.
“It’s so funny, they had a dad dance contest and Noor goes, ‘You HAVE to enter!’ ” says Mohammad. “So I did! And I won! I got candy as a prize.

“All the other dads were so salty.”
Mohammad, who posted the photos of Noor at the dance to his Twitter page, is surprised and humbled by how many people are touched by his story.
