- This article is about the woman in Sayid's flashbacks. For Mikhail's cat named Nadia, see cats.
Noor "Nadia" Abed Jazeem was Sayid's former childhood friend and long lost love. She was reunited with Sayid when he returned from the Island, and married him. However, she was murdered soon afterwards, prompting Sayid to work for Ben as an assassin.

In Iraq
Though coming from a background of wealth, she chose to join an insurgent group against Saddam Hussein's regime, which caused her to become the subject of repeated captures and interrogations by the Iraqi Republican Guard.
With Sayid's promotion to the Intelligence Division, he was reunited with Nadia while she was imprisoned, and was tasked with her interrogation. However, the little time they had together only gave them a chance to reconnect, and drove Sayid to try to help her get her charges dropped. When his superior officer, Omar, ordered her execution, Sayid resolved to instead help her escape. During the attempt, Sayid had to shoot Omar, who caught up with him and Nadia. Additionally, as a cover story, Sayid shot himself in the leg and let Nadia escape with his gun. Before escaping, Nadia frightfully begged Sayid to come with her. When he refused, she left him her photo with the Arabic inscription; "You will see me in the next life, if not in this one". ("Solitary")
After Iraq
Nadia's escape was successful, and sometime three years after her escape the fled to Los Angeles. There, she met and hired John Locke to inspect a house she was buying. Through the few words they exchanged, she revealed that she was not married. ("Lockdown")
At some point, Nadia was in England, where Charlie spotted her being mugged in an alleyway. After he confronted the mugger and drove him away, Nadia thanked Charlie and told him that several other people noticed what was happening but just walked by. She told him that he was a hero and to not let anyone else tell him otherwise. Charlie later regarded this as one of the best moments of his life. ("Greatest Hits")
Her whereabouts were later used as a lure by the CIA to get Sayid to work for them. Eventually, they informed Sayid that Nadia was working in Irvine, California as "a lab tech in a medical testing company". ("The Greater Good")
After The Return Of The Oceanic Six
Once Sayid escaped from the Island as one of the Oceanic Six, Nadia finally found him again after the group's first press conference. They were overjoyed to see each other, and tearfully embraced. Sayid and Nadia later wed, and she befriended the other members of the Oceanic Six, attending Hurley's surprise party and Christian Shephard's funeral service. ("There's No Place Like Home, Part 1")
Their marriage came to an abrupt end, however, as she was killed in Los Angeles in late October 2005. The cirumstantial evidence of a traffic photograph pointed to Ishmael Bakir, an employee of Charles Widmore, being her killer. Sayid was a pallbearer at her funeral in Tikrit, Iraq five days later.
After learning the truth about her death from Ben, Sayid killed Bakir in a fit of rage. ("The Shape of Things to Come")
Trivia
- Irvine, where Sayid was informed that Nadia was located, is a city located in Orange County, California, just south of Los Angeles. Irvine is located right next to the city of Tustin, where Locke worked at a box company.
- During Sayid's search for Nadia, he passed by England. Nadia had spent some time in England, and was saved from a mugger by Charlie there.
- Nadia left Iraq sometime before 1997, since Sayid had been searching for her for 7 years.
- Nadia bought her house before John Locke was paralyzed, no later than approximately 2000.
- Noor means "light" in Arabic.
- Nadia means "tender" and "delicate" in Arabic.
- Nadia shares her first name, Noor, with World War II heroine Noor Inayat Khan, who was also, like Nadia, an insurgent.
