*( i think i dont have the right to make you people sad,but Its Reality and a slap on our faces specially on the faces of all those ppl jo Human Rights kay liye kaam kartay hain.)

*By Fawad Ali Shah (February 2009)

KARACHI: Maria Shah is dead. The 23-year-old, acid victim succumbed to injuries at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Burns Centre on Tuesday, after infections took their toll on her body, hospital sources said.

Maria Shah belonged to Shikarpur. She was a graduate and was serving the community as a lady health worker, unaware of her fate. On January 16, while she was serving in a medical clinic, her disgruntled admirer, Muhammad Arsalan Sanjrani threw acid on her, which resulted in 40 percent of her body being disfigured. In the absence of any burns centres in interior Sindh, she was brought to Karachi for treatment in a critical condition as the upper half of her body was badly affected by the acid.

The police have already arrested the criminal. After the news of her death spread, the already tense atmosphere of the centre changed into grief. The family members of the victim burst into tears and clung to her body. Doctors were shaking their heads in remorse and the empathetic nurses hugged each other and wept.

The burns had left their mark on her, not only physically but mentally as well. The nurses who had been serving the deceased told Daily Times that usually whenever Maria came to her senses she used to weep.

“There was no charm for her in life,” the nurses said. “Whenever we told her that she will be alright, her reply would be a determined but frightened, ‘you are lying’ she use to say,” they revealed.

The incident changed Maria’s life forever. She lost all her beauty. “There were times when she prayed for death,” Zubaida, one of the nurses, claimed. The nurses said that she was having a hard time accepting her physical condition.

The senior nurse with tears in her eyes said that whenever Maria was in her senses she either would wish for death or would curse Sanjrani.

Talking to Daily Times her brother, Mehtab Shah, said that all of her family was grief stricken. “My sister never passed a single minute over the last 25 days without tears in her eyes,” he said.

“The situation in our area is also tense,” he said, adding that Maria’s relatives were preparing for her burial in Shikarpur. “We want justice,” said the middle-aged man and burst into tears. As sadness over powered him, words failed him and he could not talk any more.

The patients, who were in Maria’s neighbouring beds, in the ward said that she usually woke up in the night, weeping and crying. “Why I am going through this agony,” they said, quoting Maria. All of them felt sorry for the youngster.

Hours before passing away, Maria had spoken to her sister-in-law and had inquired about the culprit while asking her to kill him.

“Why is he still alive?” Maria had demanded unaware of the legal complexities involved in the prosecution of criminals in our country. She did not know that despite owning up to the crime, her murderer might escape death.

It may be remembered that Arsalan Sanjrani had earlier confessed to committing the crime. According to the police statement, he had testified that he committed the crime intentionally.

The doctors at the Burns Centre said that she had been in a critical stage. “After losing skin, her body was an easy target for infections,” the doctors said adding that they did their best to save her but failed as the acid had penetrated her body and caused irreparable damage. Maria’s face looked tranquil in her coffin. There were no wrinkles on her face and no tears in her eyes.

Though Maria is dead, her demise has opened Pandora’s box. Maria’s death is a slap across the face of our society. It may be remembered that the entire province of Sindh has one burns centre, which is located in Karachi. The people of interior Sindh have to travel to Karachi in order to get treated for burns. Ironically, even with all the efforts put into protecting women’s rights, girls still continue to receive acid as gifts of love. “The verdict in Maria’s case should be passed soon so that more incidents of the sort can be avoided,” said Maria’s sister-in-law.

Nothing is heavier than a child’s body on the parents’ shoulders. “I cannot believe she is dead,” Baqir Shah, her father said, bursting into tears, adding that “I still remember her childhood and now...” he stops, unable to go on. The tears never stop, the memory never ages but sadly, life goes on.

...how can se teach those people and make them understand that women were created by the same God as equal to men. Allah created Hawwa as a partner for Adam just like him to complement him and complete him.

We have to do something to stop this madness, because, may Allah forbid, next victim could be your or my sister or daughter or a loved one

Islam says women are the same as men,

men have better physical strenght

women have better empathy

...may be they meant "not today"!    

yes, differences between men and women coplement each other. That also tells us, they're incomplete without each other.

Smooth_daddy says
well, that sets an example for anyone who may have that thought crossed their mind; but then, there are people who don't care. In KSA, people are beheaded in public every week; don't people commit capital crimes?

yes punishment is very important but more important is to have fear of God in the heart.

*Yaa Right Sir
Laikin agar In Public saza Di jaye tho I am Sure ainda aisay Cases nahi hongay
but KSA main Crime rate and Pakistan main Crime rate Ka
mawazna kiya jaye tho KSA Alhamdulilah Kafi Behter hain...!

Yaa Very Right
But Aj Kal Logo hain Allah swt ka kahuff nahi hain
Isi Liye Tho hamaray halaat aisay hain...!
InshAllah Hope for the Very Best...!

I agree
...but in this case, the man is heartless and no sense of accountability. People like him are totally driven by their selfishness......and it is on the rise.

when people are missing the basics, we can't teach them by flogging them or punishing them. We need to help them regain that basic element -- Iman!
Posted 22 Apr 2009
shaista says

but how can u teach people Iman.
if u would start teaching them they will say: hum koi abhi Musalmaan hue hain? Tum humain sikhaoge?
that's what the main problem is.
Posted 23 Apr 2009
Smooth_daddy says
...and the other problem is: we think we turn people's heart and we giveup when we fail....remember, our job is to bring reminders to people persistently in a friendly way. it's not our prerogative striking fear of God in their heats. It's His job
