Nahidul Islam

Shaheed Nahidul Islam was born on August 17, 2009, in a respectable Muslim family in Muriyaouk village under Lakhai Upazila in Habiganj district. Nahid, who was without a father and mother, was the beloved of everyone. His grandmother took care of the orphan Nahid. His father was a scholar of Islamic religion, so Nahid also had a strong desire to be like his father, and he started his studies at a Qawmi Madrasa in the area. Nahid, who had a well-built body, was one of the main centers of attraction for everyone in his madrasa. He won everyone's heart very easily through his talent and moral character. He had a strong desire to become a religious scholar like his father and spread the great beauty of Islam to every corner of Bangladesh, but this strong desire of his remained unfulfilled. The dream was nipped in the bud prematurely by the bullets of the Awami League’s pet police forces.
Regarding the Shahadat of Nahid
Regarding Shaheed Nahidul Islam, his elder brother Maulana Naimul Islam says, "Nahidul Islam was an extremely talented, polite, and gentle boy. He used to offer five daily prayers in the mosque with the congregation. His sweet recitation of the Quran would captivate everyone, and he would lead prayers in the mosque whenever he had the opportunity. The villagers saw him as a reflection of his father. Like his father, the late Abdul Aziz, who used to hold Mahfils across the country, he was eager to discover himself in the arena of oratory like his father."
Context of Shahadat
August 5th. 5 PM. The student-public was ecstatic with the joy of victory over the autocratic Hasina, who had been a heavy burden on Bangladesh. To witness the new sun of independence, thousands of people flocked to the streets across Dhaka city. Some carried banners, some carried festoons, wearing new clothes. It was like an Eid celebration. Shaheed Nahidul Islam also took to the streets of Adabor, Dhaka, to enjoy this joy. But this victory procession turned into the last procession of his life. Within moments, this jubilation turned into sorrow. Under the leadership of the overzealous OC of Adabor Police Station, police opened fire against the victorious people. To stage a counter-revolution. The well-organized procession turned into a procession of grief. Four bullets pierced the chest of Nahid, who was at the forefront of everyone, shattering him. The bullet wound in the heart where the Quran was housed was, in fact, an attack on the Quran itself.
The injured Nahid had the opportunity to scream. He repeatedly said only one thing, "Save us, save us." The cries of countless people did not reach the ears of the demonic police league that day. They became even more barbaric. To terrorize the agitated students and the public, the police themselves set fire to their own vehicles and burned them. A smoky darkness like an ominous night was created all around. Amidst this, a killer policeman threw Nahid's small body into the circle of fire. To intensify the fire, it seemed as if Nahid was used as fuel. Immediately, the skin of Nahid's tender body began to peel off. He writhed and created a terrifying atmosphere around with his heart-wrenching screams. When some people came to rescue Nahid from the police, they failed to protect him from the bullets. Gradually, the flesh began to fall off Nahid's bones. Later, in the face of intense public outrage, when the burnt police retreated, Nahid was rescued from the fire and taken to the hospital, where the hospital authorities declared him dead. Shaheed Nahid had a strong desire for martyrdom. Allah Almighty accepted his wish.
