सऊदी अरब में बांग्लादेश के दंपति का सर कलम करके मौत की सजा देने के बाद उनके शव बांग्लादेश पहुंच गए जिसका अंतिम संस्कार कर दिया गया
पता चल रहा है कि उन दोनों की एक 8 साल की बेटी भी है जो अब अनाथ हो गई
अब जाकर बांग्लादेश के दंपति की मौत की सजा के मामले पर पूरी घटनाक्रम सऊदी अरब ने सामने रखा है
बांग्लादेश का एक दंपति जो पति-पत्नी थे वह उमरा करने सऊदी अरब गए
मक्का की एक मस्जिद में उन्होंने नमाज अदा किया और भाव विभोर होकर एक दूसरे से गले लग गए और एक दूसरे को kiss कर लिया
और यह सब करते हुए उनकी आंखों में आंसू थे जाहिर सी बात है कि उनका एक सपना पूरा हुआ था कि वह उमरा पर आए हैं तो यह उन्होंने किसी अश्लीलता की वजह से नहीं किया था बल्कि भाव विभोर होकर किया था
और एक पाकिस्तानी ने उनका वीडियो बनाकर वायरल कर दिया और उनका सर कलम हो गया
ये जो सोच है ना कि दो लोगों के एक दुसरे को चूमने से खुदा नाराज हो जाएगा और गर्दन काटने से खुश हो जाएगा यही कट्टरपंथ की सबसे बड़ी बीमारी है।
एक तरफ कहते हो इस्लाम अमन का मजहब है, दूसरी तरफ एक रील, एक चुंबन पर सर कलम?
मक्का की मस्जिद क्या इबादत की जगह है या तुम्हारे अहंकार का कत्लगाह?
अगर खुदा इतना ही कमजोर है कि दो लोगों के प्यार से उसकी मस्जिद नापाक हो जाती है, तो फिर वो खुदा कैसा? खुदा को तुम्हारी तलवार की जरूरत क्यों है अपनी हिफाजत के लिए?
तुमने दो लोगों को नहीं मारा, तुमने ये साबित किया है कि तुम्हारी सोच आज भी 7वीं सदी के रेगिस्तान में ही अटकी हुई है।
जहाँ प्यार गुनाह है और कत्ल इंसाफ।
और फिर कहते हो दुनिया इस्लामोफोबिक है - दुनिया तुम्हारे इस कृत्य से डरती है, तुम्हारे मजहब से नहीं।
बेटी अनाथ हो गई, दो परिवार खत्म, और तुम्हें लगा तुमने धर्म बचा लिया? तुमने धर्म नहीं, अपनी दरिंदगी का प्रदर्शन किया है।

The Bible warned us people would call evil good and good evil.
Look around. We're there.
Sin gets applauded. Holiness gets mocked.
Truth gets called hate.
Don't be shocked. Stay close to the Word. 🔥
Let me be honest. I wanted to stay Muslim so badly.
Not even because of God or faith at first, but because of the life attached to my faith.
My dad’s businesses were waiting for me - all signed and ready.
My mom’s community surrounded me: doctors, lawyers and politicians.
Bro, success was laid out in front of me. There was even an arranged marriage lined up for me. She was on track to be a doctor. Beautiful future with the house, the wedding, all of it.
All I had to do was say one sentence:
“Yeah, I still believe.”
That was it. If I said it, I could keep the money, keep the family approval and keep the life I had always known.
But here’s the problem, once I met Him, I could not unsee Jesus.
When I really read the Quran and compared it to the Gospel, I couldn’t force myself back into pretending Islam was the truth.
Honestly bro, knowledge becomes heavy at that point. I didn’t leave Islam to rebel, despite what many believe about me.
I left because I could not betray what I believed was true. No business opportunity, no relationship, no comfortable future was worth denying the King who gave His life for me.
So yeah, my life would have been easier if I stayed. But when Jesus says, “I am the way,” you don’t answer with, “But the other path feels safer.”
You pick up your cross and walk.

You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The story of Hosea: In it, God tells a prophet to marry a woman He KNOWS will betray him.
She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, and used up. Essentially, she is worthless to the world.
Then, God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK, to pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. (Hosea 3)
I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Bro, why would any man do that!?
Then I realized I was exactly like the wife.
I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters and I sold myself cheap. In a way, I made myself worthless.
But, God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.” Instead, He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”
What's beautiful about this is, that’s the entire Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.
He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.
Islam told me to make myself WORTHY of God.
Hosea showed me an amazing, present God who pays to redeem the unworthy. The cross was Him naming the price.
Praise the Lord!

There are two verses in Mark’s Gospel that seem to make no sense. And they might be the most personal confession in the New Testament.
It’s night in Gethsemane. Judas has arrived with a crowd carrying swords and clubs. Jesus is seized.
Then Mark writes: “And they all left him and fled.” (Mark 14:50)
Every disciple. Gone.
And then, out of nowhere:
“And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.” (Mark 14:51–52)
That’s it. No name. No explanation. He’s never mentioned again. Matthew, Luke, and John all describe the arrest, and none of them include him.
Why would Mark put this in? At the most important moment in history, why stop to tell us about an unnamed young man losing his clothes in the dark?
There’s an old answer, and it’s a beautiful one: the young man was Mark himself.
Here’s why many have thought so:
Mark’s family lived in Jerusalem. His mother Mary owned a house where the early church gathered to pray (Acts 12:12). Some have even suggested it was the house of the Last Supper. A teenage boy, woken in the night, throwing on a linen cloth and following the crowd out to the garden, fits that picture.
And only someone who was there would bother to remember it. It adds nothing to the story of Jesus. It only makes sense as a memory. Ancient writers sometimes left a quiet signature in their work, and this may be Mark’s: I was there. And I ran too.
We can’t prove it. Some read the scene symbolically instead. The prophet Amos had said that in the day of judgment, “he who is stout of heart among the mighty shall flee away naked” (Amos 2:16). Either way, the point is the same: when Jesus was taken, nobody stood with Him. Not the twelve. Not even a boy in a linen sheet.
But here’s what makes it extraordinary.
If this was Mark, it wasn’t the last time he ran. Years later he abandoned Paul and Barnabas mid-mission and went home (Acts 13:13). Paul was so frustrated that he refused to take Mark on the next journey, and the two great missionaries split over it (Acts 15:37–39).
Mark was the runner. The one who quit.
And yet near the end of Paul’s life, in his final letter, he writes: “Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry” (2 Timothy 4:11). Peter calls him “Mark, my son” (1 Peter 5:13).
The boy who fled naked into the night became the man who wrote the first Gospel ever written.
And in the middle of it, he left his own failure in plain sight.
Not hidden. Not edited out. Written down for every reader for two thousand years.
Because the Gospel isn’t the story of people who stayed.
It’s the story of the One who stayed for the people who ran.
Amazing true story:
On a pouring Sunday morning in Georgia in 2014, TunDe Hector hit rock bottom on the shoulder of a slick highway. Enduring a painful divorce and severe financial hardship, she watched helplessly as her fuel gauge dropped to empty and her car sputtered to a halt. She had a single $5 bill in her pocket, an empty gas can in her hand, and miles of cold rain between her and the nearest filling station.
Minutes later, Chris Wright drove past on his way to church with his family. Spotting the solitary woman trudging through the downpour with a gas can, he felt an unmistakable tug on his conscience. After dropping his wife and children off at the church doors, he looked at his wife, Carmen, and said, "I have to go back. I have to help her."
Chris turned his vehicle around, pulled onto the shoulder, and offered TunDe a dry seat. He drove her to the nearest gas station and paid to fill her container. As they pulled back up to her stranded car, Chris felt another quiet prompting inside his chest telling him to empty his wallet. He reached into his pocket, pulled out $40, every dollar he had on him, and pressed the folded bills into her hand. TunDe wept right there in the passenger seat, thanking a man whose name she did not even know before they parted ways.
Three years later, in the summer of 2017, tragedy struck the Wright family. Chris’s mother, Judy Wright, entered the final, devastating stages of Parkinson’s disease. Doctors informed the family that she had only weeks left to live and required immediate, round-the-clock hospice care at home. The family arranged for a private nursing aide, only for the scheduled caregiver to cancel at the very last minute.
In her place, the agency sent a replacement certified nursing assistant: TunDe Hector.
Neither TunDe nor the Wright family recognized one another when she walked through the front door. Over the following days, the family watched in awe as TunDe cared for their dying matriarch with extraordinary gentleness, dignity, and warmth. She spoke softly to Judy, prayed over her bed, and treated her with the devotion of a daughter. During quiet hours beside Judy’s bed, the family learned that TunDe dreamed of finishing nursing school, though she was currently locked out of registering for classes because she owed tuition money she could not afford.
One afternoon during a shift change, the conversation turned to how faith carries people through impossible seasons. TunDe began telling the family about the lowest day of her life three years prior, describing how she had run out of gas in the pouring rain with only five dollars to her name, and how a kind stranger had circled back from church, bought her fuel, and handed her every dollar in his wallet.
Across the room, Chris Wright froze. His jaw dropped, and tears immediately welled in his eyes.
"TunDe," Chris whispered, his voice breaking. "That was me."
They both removed their hats, looked closely at one another, and broke down crying in the middle of the living room. The woman Chris had rescued on the side of a lonely highway had been sent back into his life three years later to comfort his mother in her final days on earth.
Two weeks later, on July 9, Judy passed away peacefully. It happened to be TunDe’s birthday. Even though she was off duty and celebrating with her own loved ones, the second TunDe received the phone call, she left her birthday party and rushed straight to the Wright home to comfort Judy’s widowed husband and prepare her friend one last time with dignity.
Overwhelmed by her selflessness, the Wright family decided that simple thank-you notes were nowhere near enough. When they wrote Judy’s obituary, they included a special request: in lieu of funeral flowers, please donate toward TunDe Hector’s nursing school tuition.
They set up an online fundraiser hoping to gather $1,000 to clear her past-due class balance. Within 45 minutes of going live, the fund surpassed its goal. Within days, the story of their full-circle encounter spread across the country, and strangers donated over $34,000, enough to pay for TunDe’s entire nursing degree. A single forty-dollar bill given in the rain had returned years later as priceless grace when a family needed it most.
This might be one of the WILDEST plot twists in the entire Bible and most Christians have never heard of it.
Check this out.
There were two significant requests Moses made to God that were denied.
First. In Exodus 33, Moses asks God, “Show me Your glory.” But God tells him, “You cannot see My face, for no one may see Me and live.”
Request denied.
Second. In Deuteronomy 3, Moses begs God to let him enter the Promised Land but because of his disobedience and failure to trust God, God tells Moses he will not enter.
Request denied again.
Now, fast forward to the New Testament. In Matthew 17, Jesus is transfigured on a mountain, and the Bible specifically tells us that his face shone like the sun.
And guess who suddenly appears there with Jesus?
Moses.
Think about this. What is Moses finally seeing?
He’s seeing… the face of God.
The man who led the first Exodus and delivered his people from the bondage of Egypt is standing face to face with the One who would accomplish a greater Exodus, delivering sinners from the bondage of Satan, sin and death.
The man whose face was radiant because of God’s glory (Ex. 34:29) is standing face to face with the One whose face radiates God’s glory (Matt. 17:2).
In Deuteronomy 18:15, Moses tells the Israelites that God will raise up a prophet like him and commands them to “LISTEN TO HIM.”
In Matthew 17:5: God the Father speaks to the disciples about Jesus and says “LISTEN TO HIM.”
But wait… there’s more.
Where is Moses standing?
He’s standing… in the promised land.
The very two things Moses had once been denied, God allows him to experience in the presence of Jesus.
Two takeaways.
1. Sometimes God answers our prayer requests in ways that we do not expect. Whatever he has to offer us is infinitely better than anything we could ever imagine.
2. Our failures may have consequences, but in Christ, they don't have to have the final word.
That’s why Moses’ failure didn’t have the final word.
God’s grace did.
