Md. Moinul Islam

Everyone is not born equally in this world. Some are born into happiness, some into sorrow. Many grow up under the love and care of their parents, while others grow up amidst hardship and suffering. Shaheed Md. Moinul Islam was one such boy. He grew up enduring much hardship from his childhood. He was born on October 28, 1999, in Kekonia village of Gopalganj, a favorite area of the autocrat Sheikh Hasina. His father was Md. Kamrul Islam and his mother was Mosammat Mahfuza Begum. Moinul Islam was a very dear child to his parents. They prepared him for salvation in the afterlife by providing him with Islamic education. Shaheed Moinul Islam was married, but they could not maintain their household for very long. Moinul Islam had various family problems. Moinul Islam's two brothers, Mostafizur Rahman and Mahmudur Rahman, study at a Hifzkhana (Quran memorization school).
His father, Md. Kamrul Islam, runs the family by working as a muezzin (caller to prayer) at a mosque. Shaheed Moinul Islam had been living in Dhaka for the past five years. At the time of his death, he was working at a Qawmi Madrasa for a small salary. Alongside his job, he developed a close relationship with the teachers and students of Tamirul Millat Madrasa. From there, he was able to understand the core issues of Islam and the Islamic movement. Finally, he sacrificed his life through the movement against the oppressive government. Everyone else remained in this world, but he was forced to leave it by the bullets of terrorist police. Many may think that the boy struggled a lot and died amidst that struggle, but no, the death of martyrdom is not suffering, it is a blessing.
The Incident of Martyrdom
The lines of history cannot be written with anything other than blood. Victory builds its edifice only with skulls. Glory and honor can only rise on the foundation of the injured and the dead. Empires, aristocratic people, states, and societies can be established with these examples. Those who think that they can change the truth or change society without blood, sacrifice, injured people, pure and innocent lives, they do not understand the essence of this Islamic religion and do not know the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
"Do you think that you will enter Paradise without Allah making evident those of you who strive hard [in His cause] and making evident those who are patient?" (Surah Al-Imran, Verse 142)
For this reason, the founders and architects of victory are few. The person who wants to be the architect of victory, this person has to sacrifice himself with a sea of his blood and sweat until he achieves victory at its cost. He must sacrifice the blood of the people around him and the obstacles under his responsibility. And victory cannot be achieved without crossing this path.
Shaheed Moinul understood that essence of religion and also knew the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). That is why he regularly participated in the anti-discrimination student movement to establish truth and destroy falsehood.
He always wished for the death of martyrdom. Finally, Shaheed Moinul Islam's dream came true. But it was not on the battlefield, it was in the field of victory. The terrorist police force nurtured by the autocrat Sheikh Hasina did not allow Shaheed Moinul Islam to celebrate victory. Moinul Islam has no problem because he will celebrate victory in Paradise, Inshallah. On the day when the killers will cry out, "Oh, if only we could return to the world and then we would surely do good deeds and become martyrs for the sake of Allah!" But they will never be given this opportunity.
The Main Incident
Shaheed Moinul Islam learned that even after the fall of the autocratic government, how the Awami League terrorists have the courage to shoot openly! He thought that perhaps the terrorists would not be able to shoot anymore. But who knew that the Awami League terrorist police would shoot at Shaheed Moinul Islam and the general students and public like this! There is no way to tell from the outward appearance of the Awami League terrorist police force that they are not human beings, they are more than just vicious animals. Sheikh Hasina has created them in such a way that there is not a bit of compassion in their hearts. Dispelling all of Shaheed Moinul Islam's thoughts, a bullet fired from a helicopter of the Awami terrorists' nurtured police force rushes towards him. Immediately, leaving behind the love and affection of this troubled, chaotic world, Shaheed Moinul departs towards the peaceful Paradise.
On August 5, 2024, after a long movement, the autocrat Sheikh Hasina resigned. The autocratic ruler flew away from the country. All the people of the country have now achieved freedom anew. On this day of independence, everyone has come out under the open sky to celebrate victory. Shaheed Moinul Islam also came out after the Zohr prayers on the road of Tamirul Millat Kamil Madrasa for the victory celebration. He had been involved in the anti-discrimination student movement since morning. Again, in the afternoon, he came down to the street from his house to taste the victory. In various places, Sheikh Hasina's accomplices and the police force were still shooting. Even the terrorist police force involved in this massacre began indiscriminately firing at ordinary students and the public from helicopters. The common freedom-seeking students and people began to flee in all directions. Many fell to the ground, shot by the police, before they could even understand what was happening. The road became red with blood. Meanwhile, at around 2:40 pm, Moinul Islam was suddenly shot in the chest, the bullet exiting from his back. This was no ordinary bullet. A bullet fired from a special rifle by the terrorist police force from a helicopter. Moinul Islam was quickly taken to the hospital by the general public. After fighting with death for seven long days at Dhaka Medical Hospital, he finally lost. He left this world of sorrow, suffering, and war to a beautiful, peaceful world.
Shaheed's Father's Statement
Death is inevitable for everyone; some die a natural death, while others die an unnatural death. And some deaths are memorable deaths. And my Moinul always desired that memorable death. I am not at all sad about his death; rather, I am proud to be the father of a martyr. However, I want all those who unjustly killed my son to be hanged. I urge the new government to ensure that the murderer Sheikh Hasina is executed through a verdict in the courts of Bangladesh.
Martyr's Family Condition
The martyr's family's economic condition is very dire. There is no permanent property. The income from his father's muezzin job barely sustains the family. Two brothers are still studying. The mother has become like a madwoman after losing Shaheed Moinul. Shaheed Moinul's wife has been living with her parents for a long time.
