Blessed is He in Whose hand is the Sovereignty, and, He is Able to do all things. Who hath created life and death that He may try you [to prove] which of you is best in conduct.

"Dam Diye Kinechi Bangla" by Abdul Latif
We have a special request for the youngsters - please connect with your elders.
Your elders have sacrificed A LOT for the betterment of your future. As a generation who had to live through the trauma of Swadhinata Juddho (Bangladesh Liberation War), this is your golden - and last - opportunity to hear from this dying generation of their personal experiences.
Don't miss this chance to bond with your loved ones because they're not going to be around for long.
May Allah bless Bangladesh and our People. Ameen.
