Remember Thy Lord!!
“Bismillahi mazreha wa mursaha inna rabbi la gafoorur rahim” Surah Hud - 11:41
“Embark there in! In the name of Allah be its course or its mooring. Lo! My Lord is Forgiving and Merciful”! This doa (supplication) from the Qur'an, the Muslim Holy Book, is read out at the start of each Bangladesh Biman’s flight.
Yesterday while coming back to Dhamrai from Dhaka, the car I was in, along with my son and his friend, met with a terrible accident! Our car was trying to overtake a speeding bus on a 2-lane highway which did not have dividers. And as it was driving fast at high speed (from the left.. ‘wrong side’ as we keep to left on our roads) there was this rickshaw van carrying heavy sanitary pipes. I was seated at the front by the Driver (my son and his friend at the backseat) and I instantly realized he wasn't going to make it clean and would ram into that van. And he did! I just saw a pipe coming at my face and ducked! The windshield was shattered with a horrible sound!
To cut a story short, by His grace..none of us were seriously hurt and I escaped with minor cuts and bruises. If the pipes were made of steel, it would have been a different story!! The van driver was the one to be admitted in a clinic and was released after getting first aid!
