A Sad Day

I received a SMS in the morning:

"Saif of 11th batch has succumbed to injury and passed away"

When I was in IBA, I was never a very extrovert person. I didn't have very good relationships with the seniors, and I didn't know too many juniors as well. But as years passed by, I came to know a lot of juniors as well as seniors from different batches. It is always sad to know that someone younger than myself has actually passed away.

He died a road accident today 5:20 AM. A few days ago my Boro khalu died. I saw how hard it was for my nana and nanu to accept his death. People who are older always find it hard to see the young ones die. I was a student of 7th batch. I am assuming Saif was not more than 21/22 years old.

Dying at such a young age--it's an unfortunate happening. I didn't know him personally, but I cannot but feel sad for his parents. I once read somewhere that nothing can be more heart breaking than carrying one's own childs dead body towards the grave. May Allah give them strength to bear with this loss.

I wanted to go to his Janaza, but I did not. I will regret forever.

May his soul rest in peace. May my khalu's soul rest in peace. May all the departed souls rest in peace.

Amin!
