Asja
Pearl of Islaam
He fight for Unity bewteen Sunni vs Shia Muslims
Today was I sitting in a room of mine,
waiting for a friend who was to come and meet me
suddenly i got a phone call that made me cry
The person closest to my heart passed away!!
I closed my eye and remembered when I first met him
Those shining eyes i cant forget, Blessed was that face.
Despite being a Shi'a, he became my friend..
I didnt know what his belife was really about
but him being the follower of ONE GOD was enough
Once going to a market, i almost had an accident.
But my friend saved my life just like an angel.
It gave me a confidence that difference of beliefs no longer matters.
The same night his father gave me a phone call
Shouted at me as saving my life was a crime to him.
It broke my heart, scared my soul.
I started my research and what I found?
The very same day My country had a bomb blast in a religious confrnce
Difference of belifs, Shi'a VS Sunni was the only reason.
Didnt make sense to me why these things have to happen?
More than 1500 people died and about 2000 wounded
Dead bodies spreaded all over, from a 6 year old to a 60
Tears came out of my eyes, I could not believe it.
How can someone KILL in the name of GOD?
How can one kill his own brother in the name of GOD?
How can one say, I fight with my own people for GOD?
How can GOD Himself allow the murder of a child?
How can people be so cruel, so selfish?
Since when superiority has taken over piety?
Since when differences has started to cost lives?
Since when have we become blind and dumb?
Since when we have lost faith, knowlede and tolerance?
I opened my eye now and couldnt cry
I didnt know where my friend is now? heaven? or is alive?
i should mourn his death or tell the world about his high character?
It took 20 years for my friend to come where he was now.
His death was a matter of a second, just a moment changed everything
When I visited his mother, she was still like a dead flower.
Had a glow on her face, but couldnt move a muscle.
I asked her what happened to her great son?
He was a healthy person, his death wasnt expected.
Her tear came along with some words...
"He went there for a speech on unity, Shi'a Sunni unity..
Didnt know what to write, he made a mistake and asked me
I told him to write things with authenticity..
with the stress on only one word, unity.
He went there but before he could reach.
Some people came to him and warned not to do the speech
He called me and asked what should he do? go or leave?
"Brave are those who face everything." I said.
He hung up the phone and with GOD's name entered the building
Did the speech which went very well.
Again he called me and told all about what happened.
Before I could be proud of my son, i heard a gunshot.
And then I heard his last word, Thank You GOD for everything.
La Illaha Illah ALLAH, and then the call disconnected.
One hour later a dead body was brought infront of me,
this was my 20 year old son, who worked for unity.
This was the son of this land, this was my son.
I havent cried, not even for a second,
My son is among the shuhuda, in GOD, I trust!
Death is a matter of second, we cant know when its supposed to come
But when in society differences reach the high level, useless becomes life
Muslims were supposed to be united, together as creation of ONE GOD
In HIS name we all pray. Please stay united, please, for the love of ONE GOD..!!
