Nabeel Jalaludeen
Just days before, an entire nation was shocked by the death of a beloved Royalist, and his story is truly upsetting. I don’t know him, nor had I ever heard of him before, but the stories I hear through his friends still leave me speechless. He was only 19, just finished school, and he was only starting to live life, when the negligence of a doctor dragged his life from a mere cut in the leg to fatal death. When Rachcha told me about his friends’ situation, I felt for the boy. Yes it was so unfortunate that he was prescribed with false medication, but at that point I felt more disappointed with our country’s worthless service towards it’s people , and I was commenting on how the doctor should be sued and so on. But only if I knew his real position, that would have been the least thing that mattered, ’cause no power or authority can bring back a son, a brother and a friend who was so dearly loved and adored.
I knew that a friend was sick, a friend had to be visited at the hospital, I knew this friend’s situation was serious, but I didn’t know this friend was Nabeel Jalaludeen. As I got to know that he passed away, the news was tragic, but it only hit me hard as I saw the face of the boy who left so many hearts weeping for his beautiful soul. Yes, he is beautiful…you look into his eyes, and you can’t help but wonder what his life would’ve been like, if he was still amongst the many who loved him. I’ve been visiting his facebook profile every now and then, reading the comments, the posts and the messages from everyone who misses him so dearly, going through his pictures, reading his future plans and it brings tears to my eyes, to think how successful he was in all aspects of life, and suddenly everything which was at halt came to a cruel end.
Today almost every Facebook profile I come across has a picture of him with his bright smile and courages green eyes. It’s too heart breaking, and leaves even a stranger like me in tears and feeling the loss of a young man I didn’t even know that existed. I have stopped clicking on every post and profile picture dedicated to him, simply because if I do, I know it would just depress me, but what am I thinking, do I even know what it is like for his family and friends?
In one of the blogspot articles’ an anonymous had posted a comment referring to this incident as utter ‘crap’. What a disappointment. The level of humanity of ruthless people like this will continue to take away the lives of innocent souls like Nabeel. But then again how can we put a full stop to these disruptive qualities that have overtaken the power of law, religion and morality? While many of us shudder in anger as we remember the so called ”doctor” who put their dearest Chakka in this inevitable position, we know that we can’t bring him back… but is there any force at all that can do Nabeel Jalaludeen justice?
I didn’t know you Nabeel, and there are many others like me who didn’t get the opportunity to be a part of your life. But needless to say, you have left us all shattered, and we will remember you as a young man, who left an undying mark in so many people’s lives. I cannot express enough how much you are missed by everyone and all your fond memories will continue to brighten and bring happiness to the hearts you touched . May your courages soul rest in peace. GOD BLESS YOU.

I don’t know the person who wrote this. But all I got to say is that these words are from your heart. I’ve known him from Grade 3. He was such a great friend that no words can explain. His smile, his eyes, his actions are all memories. But still there are many things which we could do on behalf of him and we are going to do them.
May Allah grant him Jannathul Firdaous.
