While the dust is settling in the aftermath of shootings at two mosques in New Zealand, some rather bigger and more consequential truths and dimensions start emerging.
Undoubtedly, the killed brothers and sisters are global heroes. They are also martyrs and Jannah(Paradise)-bound (insha’Allah we most sincerely hope and pray for them).
Whereas the murderer will spend the rest of his miserable life in jail languishing therein (given that New Zealand since 1961 does not have the death penalty for murder), will die smaller and less significant than when he was born, and, ultimately, is Jahannam(Hell)-bound.
Truly, the victims have been given a new and far better life, and so, have been in a certain way set free, while the killer and his agenda have perished as soon as they came to the fore of reality and started rearing their ugly heads.
What matters at the end of the day is to live and die with honour and dignity, irrespective of circumstances.
What lies between and around those parameters is part of a bigger and to us incomprehensible ontological picture. |
