Sayedul Islam

“Come To Prayer,
Come To Goodness”
Hearing the call to prayer from the muezzin, Saidul quickly got ready. He went to the mosque to offer the Zuhr prayer. That too in the front row. And the pioneers are the pioneers. Proving the truth of that verse of the Quran, Saidul joined the ranks of the pioneers.An Overview of Shaheed’s Life
Just as spring offers a bouquet of flowers after the harshness of winter's fallen leaves, Sayedul was like a bouquet of spring flowers for his family from the creator Almighty Allah. In a society where daughters cannot even claim their own rights, can girls really take over the household? That is why, after three daughters, seeing Sayedul, hope arose in the hearts of his poor parents, that their days of sorrow were about to end. Their son would take over the household. Sayedul bid farewell to this world before even getting a chance to support his family. Shaheed Sayedul was born on March 10, 2010, in a village in Kalma Union, under Lalmohan police station in Bhola district.
Family's Financial Condition
Sayedul came from a very poor family. His father is disabled. Yet, he cannot sit at home looking at his children's faces. He earns a small amount of money by working as a day laborer, which is hardly enough to meet any of the family's needs. And for shelter, they have only a dilapidated tin house. Even that is now almost broken due to floods. Among Sayedul's four sisters, one is disabled and one is a second-grade student. Although the two older sisters are married, there is no peace in their lives. They are forced to work as garment workers. The two older sisters are making futile attempts to improve the helpless father's family a little.
How He was being martyred
Sayedul, a fifth-grader, went to Dhaka to see his older sister. Another purpose was to buy a new pair of clothes and some books. He had dreams of a new day in his mind. But his dreams were shattered on July 21, 2024. That day, after hearing the Zuhr adhan (midnoon call for prayer), he quickly got ready for the prayer. After saying goodbye to his sister, he left for the nearby mosque. Sayedul was standing in the front row. As a result, he met the Imam Sahib in the mosque. When he was returning home after the prayer, the killer police attacked. A bullet pierced Sayedul's forehead and went out through the back of his head. Before he could understand anything, he fell to the ground. His holy body was soaked in blood. He lay on the street like this for a while.
When the police moved away from the scene a bit, a rickshaw puller quickly picked him up and rushed to the hospital. The ticking sound of his pulse could still be heard. But unfortunately, even after going around several hospitals, the rickshaw puller could not get him admitted. By then, Sayedul's pure soul had gone to the presence of his Lord. The rickshaw puller took a number from the mobile phone in Sayedul's pocket and informed his younger uncle. He then spoke to Sayedul's family. Later, his elder sister learned about his Martyrdom. Sayedul's body was kept in front of the mosque. Seeing the body, the Imam Sahib and several worshippers were stunned. Because just a while ago, Sayedul was standing with them and offering prayers. His elder sister, after receiving the news, started running around in search of her only brother.
Coming in front of the mosque, she could not believe her own eyes. What! It was her precious brother who had been was being martyred. Was this why he had set out so perfectly dressed towards his Lord? After bringing the body in an auto-rickshaw in front of the house, the police arrived there and refused to allow Sayedul's body to be taken home. When his sister insisted, the police threatened to shoot her. Faced with the threat, his sister said, "If necessary, we will die together, brother and sister, but we will not leave the body of my brother." What will I say to my mother to console her? After a lot of arguments, the police were forced to hand over the body. But even then, she could not afford the cost of taking her brother's body to Bhola. With the help of the locals, she took her only brother's body home in an ambulance. The next morning, Sayedul was buried in his village.
Feelings of Friends/Close Relatives about the Shaheed
His mother, Hasina Begum, says, "My heart is fluttering with the death of my only son. It's been a month since I've eaten. I am very helpless with my four daughters. I cry day and night for my son. On the day of the incident, I called my son and told him, 'Son, don't go on the main road.' Why did he go? I don't know. I am in debt; I have a debt burden of 2 lakh Taka on my head. We don't go anywhere."
His uncle, Abu Kalam, says, "They, 5-6 people, were shot. When the auto came in front of the house with the dead body, the killer police stopped the sister from taking it. My brother is a paralyzed patient. There is no income; life is going on with great difficulty."
