Abdul Jabbar

Although his parents' area was in Noakhali, Abdul Jabbar was born in Dhaka on February 2, 1986, as his family moved to Dhaka before his birth. Father Abdul Matin and mother Najma Begum raised Abdul Jabbar and 4 other siblings amidst great difficulty. He was born in the Tejgaon West Nakhalpara area of Dhaka. Until the time of his death, he lived with his family in a rented house in the Badda area. After passing Dakhil from Tamirul Millat Kamil Madrasa, he later completed his Honors and Masters in History from Titumir College. In his personal life, he regularly practiced Islam. He would not voluntarily do any work outside of Islam. He always cooperated with the Islamic movement for the establishment of Islam in Bangladesh and the introduction of the laws of the Qur'an. During his student life, he supported Islami Chhatrashibir and Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami in his subsequent working life. He had two sons and daughters at the time of his death. The son, Samir Ibrahim, is 12 years old, and the daughter, Nuzaifa Islam, is 3 years old. In his working life, he worked in sales department. Abdul Jabbar had many dreams for his children. He thought that he would buy a small piece of land somewhere in Dhaka for them to build a house, for which he would have to go abroad. Finally, he went abroad, but to a country from where it is not possible to return. On August 5, at 7:30, he was martyred by being shot by Indian police hired by the Awami League.
The Incident of Abdul Jabbar's Martyrdom
August 5, 2024, will be written in gold letters. On this day, Abdul Jabbar left his workplace around 11 am and went home. He thought to cooperate with the opposing student movement and participate in the procession. He did participate, but afternoon, upon hearing about the fall of Sheikh Hasina. He went out on the street with his family to celebrate. Even after the fall was confirmed, the police of Badda police station indulged in a brutal massacre. As soon as they saw people, they started shooting them. Abdul Jabbar returned home with his family. After praying Asr, when he went out on the street, he was injured by rubber bullets and tear gas and returned home. He tells his wife that he has received minor injuries, so there is no problem. Then, leaving the phone at home, he went out to offer Maghrib prayers. He thought that there would be no problem now.
But when he came down to the street after praying Maghrib, people were running around from all sides. The police were shooting in an even more dangerous form. Hundreds of policemen were shooting all around at the same time. Abdul Jabbar tried to escape in various ways. But suddenly a bullet hit his stomach. He falls here. Ordinary people on the street take him to the hospital, but after struggling for a long hour, he was martyred at MJ Hospital. The hospital authorities transferred him to the morgue of Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
Hearing about the terrible situation outside, Abdul Jabbar's wife became panicked. She looked for her husband but could not find him anywhere. Going outside, she saw four to five dead bodies lying on the street. Their faces did not match her husband's face. So, she ran to various hospitals till three o'clock at night looking for her husband but could not find him anywhere. Finally, she went out again at dawn with her brother-in-law. Based on the advice of some people in the area, she went to Dhaka Medical College Hospital to look for her husband. When the hospital doctors showed her husband's picture, they took her to the morgue. There she found her husband among hundreds of dead bodies.
The lifeless body was lying there, her husband has no words. Just a day ago, he spent time with his wife and children. Today that Abdul Jabbar is not saying anything. How will he say it? Terrorist organization Awami League has hired members of 'RAW' from India and is killing the people of Bangladesh. It was later proved by their bullets and weapons that they were Indian police. The killer Sheikh Hasina never loved the people of Bangladesh. She never wanted good for Bangladesh. By killing the people of this country, she wants to erase this country from the map of the world. But injustice can never win. In the end, truth wins. That was proved once again on August 5, 2024, with the fall of the autocratic Sheikh Hasina government.
Abdul Jabbar's wife's statement
“My husband has spoken against injustice all through his life and has been on the path of truth. He played an active role in the anti-discrimination student movement. I never thought that my husband would die like this even after the victory. How will my family run now, how will my children study, everything is uncertain now. We have no source of income. I don't know what to do now.”
