LOVE, NOT FOOLISHNESS! 3 SIBLINGS DIES AT GRENFELL TOWER AFTER CHOOSING TO STAY WITH THEIR ELDERLY PARENTS.
11:23
This left me in tears. This is not foolishness, but
simply LOVE in its PUREST form.
Three adult siblings reportedly perished in the
deadly London apartment fire last Wednesday after staying behind so their
parents wouldn't have to die alone.
Husna Begum, 22, and her brothers, Hanif, 26, and
Hamid, 29, are among the 79 victims presumed
dead after a blaze ripped through
Grenfell Tower in West London
on June 14.
Their mother, Rabeya Begum, who is said to be in
her 60s, and their 82-year-old father, Kamru Miah, who could barely walk, have
also been presumed dead.
The five British-Bangladeshi family members lived
together on the 17th floor of the
now-destroyed building.
The siblings allegedly spoke to relatives on the
phone after the fire broke out at around 12:54 a.m. to explain their decision
to stay in the building.
Ahmad (a cousin) said he believes that "until
around 1:45 a.m. they could have left their parents," but that they chose
to stay behind and die as a family instead. They were last heard from at 3:00am.
It’s quite unfortunate the way people ignorantly
disrespect the dead by speaking ill of them. Especially for those who lost
their lives under certain circumstances like in this case.
I hear a lot of persons call it an “act of
stupidity”, some call it “foolishness” saying 2 hours was more than enough to
save their parents instead of choosing to die with them. my question is, where
you there? Did you see that they didn’t try other alternatives before reaching
that decision?
Some say as
young people, there was no point deciding to die with old parents who have
lived their own lives. So unfortunate the way some persons tend to think. Some call
it suicide, and as such, is a sin against God and Allah. Indeed, suicide is a
sin, no matter the intent at which it was committed. But why not leave
judgement to God, and let us focus on the intent with which they sacrificed
their lives.
Have you ever loved somebody so sincerely that you
can’t bear to see them in pain?
But come to think of it, what exactly would you
have preferred they had done? Leave their parents and save themselves? If you
were in their shoes, what would you do? Can you ever forgive yourself for leaving
your parents in such a situation? How do you find peace with yourself?
In this case, we are not talking about a
boyfriend/girlfriend kind of relationship. We talking about your own parents.
Probably you just don’t love your parents enough to
be by their side in very challenging situations like this. I’m actually not
surprised though. Today a lot of persons sacrifice their own parents just to
procure wealth. I don’t expect such persons to understand what these 3 siblings
has proven.
Parents are very special people. You owe your very
existence to them. I hope you know that
You must have
huge love for your parents to fully understand the decision made by these
siblings.
May the souls of
this family of 5 Husna Begum, Hanif Begum, Hamid Begum, Rabeya Begum, Kamru
Miah, rest in
perfect peace, AMEN!
