Flight MH370

The incident of the missing flight MH370 has been a shock to our nation. The airlines has been known to be one of the best airlines worldwide in terms of customer service with a sterling record in safety and has been free from 'accident' thus far. What has happened has left even the expert dumbfounded. While the search and rescue is being carried out the matter has been discussed long and wide by many accross the globe with theories and speculation all around. There are some comments from some twit brain which are downright rotten while some are ridiculous and others are rather shameful. Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry. But that's not what I am going to write about.

I am more thinking of the immediate family of the passengers and crew on board the flight. Whenever the thought of them cross my mind, my heart feels heavy with sadness. Watching some one you love slowly dying in front of your eyes as what I have personally gone through is nothing compare to what this families are going through right now. Its the uncertainties and not knowing what has happened. The possibly of losing someone so unexpectedly in such a tragic manner. Hopes. Despair. Helplessness. All the emotion to the max. A person can easily breakdown from the emotional rollercoaster. 

And its equally tough for the rest of the family and friends of the immediate family. What do we say to make them feel better? When we ourselves feel helpless and perplexed and full of anxiety as well?

The only thing that we can offer is a shoulder to cry on, an encouraging word, and constant prayer. But it sounds so lame in such a depressing time. But then I do believe that sometimes the meer presence of a person or persons who genuinely cares is enough to provide some comfort and take away a little bit of the pain. I do hope so.

I sincerely hope that the mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, sisters, brothers and children of all the passengers and crew of flight MH370 are shrouded with love and care in abundance from family and friends. You are in our thoughts and prayers all the time. Its the least that all of us malaysian can do right now. 

I pray to Allah that whatever the outcome, it will be over soon so that the family will have a "closure". Then and only then, they will be able to move on with a "clear" mind. 

Ya Allah. You are the All Knowing and the Most Merciful. To You alone we worship and from You alone we seek help. Take us to the straight path. The path on whom you have bestowed Your Grace, not those who have incurred Your wrath, nor those who has gone astray. 

Aameen.
