Death of a teacher

Mizanur Rashid was a solid man. He did not win a medal in the last Commonwealth games, neither did he fight a renowned case in the court and win. His achievements are within his own perimeter of work. He tried to protest a wrongdoing. That was not done with a view to achieving any personal gain. In fact, not only did he volunteer in favour of discipline and decency, but he also was ready to put himself in danger doing so. He was ready; he was upright and bold to protect his students come what may. I believe that is called courage and dignity. He considered it his duty to uphold the honour and dignity of people around him. He wanted to ensure their rights. I would consider his short life to be more valuable and meaningful than any other present-day 'successful' ones. The best we can do is to take lessons from his life, and understand the difference between 'living' and 'existing'. I salute late Mizanur Rashid. And my condolences are for his family members. May Almighty Allah grant him heaven and give peace in the hearts of his family members.
