Shahbaz Taseer<\/p>\n
Today it seems like a lifetime ago when the army finally rescued me. \u201cWow! This must have been a miracle,\u201d I reckoned. But the bigger miracle had taken place eight days earlier when at the exact moment that I walked out freely from that dreadful jail, my father\u2019s murderer was hanged till death. The justice provided to my father exceeded the struggle I had gone through all these years. Getting justice is truly rare in our society. Some of us live a luxurious life but there are so many out there who are less fortunate. My father, I used to feel, was unfortunate. I thought that he had everything bestowed upon him by God but it was all taken from him just because he was a man of convictions and principles. Imagine being killed for what you believed in.
\nGod shed light that Abba was more fortunate than most of us could have ever imagined to be. Not only did he live but he lived well and he lived on his own terms. How satisfied his soul must have been that day. Still there are some monstrous people out there who celebrate his gruesome murder but it shouldn\u2019t keep us upset. \u201cWe will show you miracles but your hearts will be so hard with disbelief that you will not bring faith,\u201d states the Holy Quran. My father\u2019s miracle is there for everyone to see. Cowards and tyrants have been celebrated in their lives throughout ages but it\u2019s the heroes that leave behind their legacies.
\nFunny that I am a little unwell today! I was unwell that day too! I had a sore throat then I have one now! But then I was coming home, now I\u2019m going to see a Guns N\u2019 Roses concert. Another check on the bucket list! A list I thought would never be completed! A band I thought would never hear to play again! I have truly been blessed. Though the miracle wasn\u2019t mine, let me openly say that prayers from everyone were duly heard, and that on its own is more than I could ever ask for.
\nAbba used to tell me that when we think things can\u2019t get any worse we should tell ourselves that in the greater scheme of things, God is playing a prank on us. Because when we look back at every unimaginable or worse thing that had ever happened to us, we laugh at them! \u201cWe will never put a burden on you that you can\u2019t bare,\u201d the Holy Quran further states. From what I\u2019ve learned from my faith and loved ones, always remember that if what we carry seems like a mountain, it can certainly be broken and conquered.
