Respected Hazrat Hakim Sahib, Asalamoalaikum! I am very fond of reading Ubqari magazine. During the course of one’s life, many incidents, accidents, stories and happening take place but there are a few which leave us too amazed to be forgotten. Here, I am going to pen down one such unforgettable incident of my life especially for the readers of Ubqari. In Sha Allah, I hope they will like it. In the year 1996, due to the unrest in Parachinar, I and my family started residing at Til City. I was a driver by occupation. I worked at Parachinar, Peshawar and then drove a coach at Sarrah, Til City etc. It was my habit that whenever a mechanic would work on any of my cars, I would make sure to work along with him in filling up the radiator, servicing the engine and if I had some spare time, I would clean the interior of the coach to ensure the ease and safety of my passengers. That day when I went home, I decided to take my coach for cleaning at Darya-e-Karam. Darya-e-Karam flows on the east side of Til Road near the Til City. This river ends at Bannu while travelling from the Til City. My brother who is 25 years old, my 8 year old daughter and my two sons aged 4 and 6, insisted to accompany me. Alomost an hour was left for Maghrib adhaan. My wife and I requested them not to go because at this hour the river rises and causes destruction during summer time. My brother and children were still adamant to go so I had to take them all along with me to the river. I parked my coach in shallow water as I wanted to stay away from the deep side of the river. I instructed my brother to take care of my sons and asked my daughter to help me by filling up water gallons quickly so that we could get home in time. Time flew by and I realized that it was going to be Maghrib in 15-20 minutes. I saw my daughter approaching me with a filled gallon of water. Just then I heard a loud shrilling scream. When I looked at her, she was lifting her leg out of water and it was bleeding profusely. I reached her and saw that a large thorny bush from an acacia tree had injured the heel of her foot. I instantly plucked it out and buried it under a huge rock thinking that it could harm someone else too. I was busy looking after my injured daughter when my elder son came and told me that my youngest son was missing. By now I could hear Maghrib adhaans echoing from the nearby mosques and the bright evening was transforming in to a deep quiet darkness. Remembering how their mother had warned them not to go near the river, I felt more helpless and answerable for the whole mishap. I looked at my brother who seemed very disturbed. I had put my sons’ responsibility over my brother’s shoulders but at that moment I did not find it suitable to waste time in arguing or getting angry with him as it was completely dark by now. I was extremely worried and did not know what to do next. In my state of sheer helplessness, I looked around and skimmed through the view. All of a sudden, on a distance of 45-50 feet, I saw a black spot floating on the surface of the river. At that moment I felt that my senses had frozen and I could not remember anything except for Allah Subhanawo Taala’s name. I hurriedly ran towards the river and saw that the tame less waves were pushing my son up and down. I gathered my courage and reached forward to hold my son. A large tide was going to approach him and if I had not grabbed him then, he would have been pushed in to the deeper side of the river from where it would have been impossible to save him from drowning. Allah Subhanawo Taala has been immensely merciful to us; He undoubtedly bestowed my son with a new life. Alhamdulilah, my son was absolutely fine. My elder son could not recall how they had lost track of my younger one. In a fading memory, he could only remember that they were playing and throwing stones at each other. My son remained unconscious for a while but soon regained his senses and felt absolutely normal. Alhamdulilah, now he is a student of second year. Allah Subhanawo Taala blessed him with a new life or else he had gone into a death hole. Truly, Allah Taala’s plans are much higher and meaningful than ours. Dear readers! Kindly keep me in your precious supplications. Maybe, after reading about this incident, people would gain a lesson that a second’s negligence can lead to lifetime regret. A small act of carelessness can take away your loved one and leave you in tears for the rest of your life.
