đ In times of sorrow, we do not collapse. We hold each other and rise again. In prayer and in presenceâwe find our strength.đ
A training aircraft has crashed into the grounds of Milestone College in Dhaka. Countless children have lost their lives. The exact number of casualties remains unknown, but it is feared to be in the hundreds. Many more have been severely injured, their bodies burned by flames. Some classrooms were engulfed entirely, leaving children charred beyond recognition. It is an unbelievable, unimaginable tragedy.
So what must we do now?
First: Do not lose heart. This is life. One moment you are here, the next you are not. One moment something is yours, the next moment itâs gone. This is how life goes. We must carry on. So please, do not collapse.
Second: Pray for them. At least two rakats of salah. Pray to Allah for those we lost, and for those who survived. Pray for everyone. Your prayers will be heard.
Third: Do not let the children live in fear. Even if theyâve seen it happen, speak to them gently, calmly. Do not weep loudly or frighten them with your own fears. Encourage them to pray instead.
And if you can, stand by them. With your blood, if neededâor in any other way. If you are able.
Letâs all look after each other. Letâs pray for one another.
May Allah protect us all.
Ameen. đđŠĩđ
