Whose jehad is it, and against whom? (in memory of Ishtiyak Ahmed Ansari)

Some punishments never find justification. And some crimes can never be excused. Ishtiyak, one of my gregarious students got victimised in the Mehrauli Bomb Blast on 27th September 2008. Coming from a very humble background, as a bundle of hopes and dreams, of his own, family, and society, He had never expected he would be a prey to the so called JEHAD.
On his behalf i would like to raise a question, as he would have put in. His grieviances, as i could put on paper:-







I , Istiyak Mohd Ansari, battling against death in AIIMS, having become the victim of a Jehadi war against the “infidel state” would like to make the following submissions :

1. life was fantastic with Insaah Allah, having given me a privileged opportunity to study MBA in a B-School here in Mehrauli, New Delhi. Having got myself enrolled with the Integrated Management College, a new but promising B-School with vision and purpose. I was euphoric to the core of my heart………. my childhood dream, which I kept so close to heart all these years……. Was finally on its way to attaining its fulfillment. Alas, little did I know, that my dream would only remain a mere dream & would never translate into reality. My classes started on schedule, our teaching faculties dedicated themselves to the onerous task of elevating us to the standard of a genuine high class of B-school students. I enjoyed attending all my classes, despite having a genuine language problem. Coming all the way from Hindi medium background from Assam, it was a difficult task negotiating the management lecture actually being delivered in English, yet our teaching faculties benignly summarized the gist of contents in Hindi so that we(those from Hindi medium )do not miss the fundamentals. Life was pleasant, B-School experiences although hardly of four months, was yet exhilarating in diverse ways. Then, all of a sudden, the dark day Saturday, 27th of September, 08, my college was off, I, along with two of my beloved classmates, ventured out of our home to catch a fresh air & to make few purchases. My classmates, Satyajeet & Shyambahadur, from different parts of India & with the same level of aspirations as of mine & with the same childhood dreams, joined me for a stroll outside upto an adjacent flower market. Little did we realize then that the stroll of ours will prove to be as fatal for all of us. Euphoric as we were, sharing all our management dreams, we came to a flower market. Barely, had we entered inside, sudden flash & devastating sound & then the rest is -----------? I do not know I will survive to live upto my dream? I do not know what had happened to my beloved classmates? I only know that I had fallen victim to the jehadi’s jehad . In this month of Ramajan, when my parents were expecting me at home foe Id celebration , I am battling against death in the A.I.I.M.S with my well wishers waiting anxiously outside my operation theatre. Time & again , the question cris-crosses my mind , where did I go wrong? Which act of infidelity was I being accused of? What wrong did I do to the jehadis for being in the utter state of helplessness----possibly never to see the light of the day again? If the jehadi’s claim of being victimized by the misdeeds of the majority community, I was also from the same community they purportedly claim to represent? What right these jehadis had to cut my life short? How they will compensate my parents for their bereavement ---losing a promising B-School son?Do not jehadis need to ponder that in losing me ,they are also losing a promising youth from their own community? Who will give answers to these questions? Jehadis, the perverted ones? Ones, who are not waging a war against Hindus & the infidels, but are challenging Allah & His Creation. This war of Jehadies are not against the Hindus and the infidels ,but outrightly against Allah in whose name they are perpetrating the heinous crimes. How these fallen souls will ever face Allah when they have an opportunity of meeting Him &justifying teir evil satanic deeds? May Allah bestow his divine peace on all these misguided youth so that other Ansari’s, Satyajit’s &Shyambahadur’s no more fall victims to their demonic deeds.
