Re: Pakistan prisons
I’m sorry about your loss. Inshallah your dad is in a much better place and Allah (swt) will reward you all for the bearing the pain his lost has caused you.
Like someone said, try to find patience. You might never fill the void your dad’s absence has created in your life, but your pain will get lessened if you fill your heart with love for Allah (swt) instead of thinking about the evil people who are responsible for taking him away. Pray for your dad and remember that Allah’s revenge on your behalf will be the best revenge.
If you know the people who were responsible and want to pursue punishing them in this world, then keep in mind that the Pakistani judicial system is crap and it favors people who have power and money. If you are dealing with people who can go far enough to take another human being’s life than then there’s no stopping them from doing that again , therefore it’s important to keep your and your family’s safety in mind. Its up to you whether you want to go about punishing them in this world or not, but just be very careful about dealing with those people; like rizla said, make sure you have very good legal backup as well.
My dad was killed and unfortunately when I met my fiance, he had lost his dad to a very similar situation like mine. They were both very good people and lost their lives for standing up for the truth. It’s always the corrupted and bad people who stay and good people who are gotten rid of. Money and power can make people worse than animals.Even though I’ve had a lot of time to let this sink in and come to terms with the loss knowing that Allah swt will give us justice eventually, I still have days when I get lethargic, numb and find myself even getting out of the bed and carrying my normal daily activities because of the pain from the loss and resentment I feel towards the people who were behind it. This might sound a little exaggerated but those are also time I’ve felt Allah’s presence more closer to me than ever, and that He is keeping a special eye out for me because He knows exactly what I’m going through.
As far as the legal battle went, we couldn’t pursue it for other reasons but my fiance did in case of his dad and those people ended up getting out on bail. His family decided not to go ahead with it either because their lives were getting endangered. They couldn’t rely on the judicial system and the only other option they had to get even was pretty much take things in their own hands and do something like the murderers did (how most of khandanee dushmanees are created in Pakistan).. but of course taking another human life, even if he is your dad’s murderer is just not easy decision to make. Therefore, they left it upon Allah swt.
Whichever route you take Red Ruby, I wish you a lot of sabr. Inshallah may Allah make it easy on you and your family and grant your dad jannah.
Bluebells honey i feel exactly how you described. I have a daughter so i cant not get up in the morning but i just feel like im a zombie all day and there isnt a minute in the day i dont think about my dad. i cant click out of it. i really really miss him. he was my world and i feel completely lost without him. i dont know how i am going to get over this. people say it gets easier but for me i feel like day by day im finding it even harder to deal with.
so many of you on here have given examples of the system in pakistan and if thats the case then i think this journey is goign to be horrendous. even after the decisions are made in the courts theres no guarantee the result will be pursued.
i just wish this was a dream, its my worst nightmare.
