Friday afternoon, 9th March.
Me and Saad planned to meet up at 'Classiqyat'. Our usual sheesha hangout spot.
I try calling Saad numerous times at 1.00 p.m. He doesn't answer. He calls back at 2.00 p.m. Something tragic has happened. PANIC. My body stopped functioning for a bit. But that wasn't helping anybody.
I rush to Dubai. One of the fastest drives to Dubai ever, yet it seemed so long. Because i wanted to be there with him then.
The trauma was yet to begin.
Initial info stated it would just take a couple of hours. It went on to the next day. And another day. And so on. Weeks and then about a month the trauma ended.
I wouldn't mention what happened. Its pointless.
But all of us learnt a lot of lessons from this. The hope article posted below relates a lot to me too. We realised our family was one (as we were always taught). Everyone played a vital role. Every uncle, aunt, cousin was a part of this. And that is what got everyone thru this. Hope, Prayers and belief in the almighty.
People compromised their differences - Differences for the past 20 years.
It just showed the principles laid down by our ancestors. The idea of belonging. The idea of togetherness. The idea of being one. The idea of being with each other in times of need.
---------------------------
I was with Saad throughout all this. And it wasn't just one event. Everything seemed to go wrong. I admire Saad for keeping his cool. He has great temprament i must say. Throughout this one month; I have just seen him once out of his senses. He had stronger faith. I tried to play down everything on the face of it. At least pretended to be very cool with everything going on. I'm not sure as to how I did. But it was just to support everyone. One person breaks down. Shows how weak he is; Everyone weakens.
I learnt a lot from this event. Most major lesson being - the greatest happiness in life is to be a part of someones sorrow and take them thru to the end.
I hope our family always remains like this. I hope nothing ever hits our family. I hope everyone gets over this trauma asap. (Ameen)

May Allah keep us all steadfast and strong through times of hardship and indeed it was because of HIM we stood against the floods of dispair that just kept wreaking on our doors. But in the horrors comes hope and in pain comes strength and so it did, all thanks to ALLAH. Incidents as such just make you realise how helpless a man can be.
In any case, I havent said this before to you, but I couldnt have hoped for a better friend to have been alongside through all of this. You truely proved why we are the best of friends/cousins with such speed that it scares me whether i'd ever be able to stand aside as firm as you did if God forbid but things happen to you. May Allah give you the best of both worlds and I shall continously pray for your best. Amen.
Thanks for everything.
