Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullaah

i only found out last week, but he got shot last boxing day. I use to spend a LOT of time with this boy in secondary, he use to be in the class next to mine so we use to see each other and joke around quite a bit. He was good at football and use to be like rivals with us (rival classes back in school)... he never seemed like a bad kid, he even had my back a few times...

subhanAllah its amazing how small the world is sometimes....


Victim's body unnoticed for a day

The 20-year-old was killed by a hooded man in a stairwell
The body of a man who was shot in the head lay in a communal garden for over 24 hours before it was discovered, police have revealed.
Dipo Seweje, 20, of Orb Street, Walworth, south-east London, was found in the garden on the Aylesbury estate in Walworth, on Friday.

He is thought to have been shot at about 1600 GMT on Boxing Day while with a friend who ran off.

Police were investigating the shooting when the body was discovered.

The pair had become separated after being shot at by a man in a hooded top in a stairwell at the flats.

Operation Trident

The friend returned home and in the early hours of 27 December he told police he had not seen Mr Seweje since the incident the previous day.

BBC correspondent Matt Prodger said some people in the community had expressed "disappointment" that it had taken police so long to find the body.

The murder is being investigated by officers from the Metropolitan Police's Operation Trident, set up to tackle crime in London's black communities.

Det Insp Andy Barton, who is leading the investigation, appealed for help from members of the public.

"At this early stage we need to establish what happened to the victim, who may have seen him and where did went before he was killed."

A man aged 18 was arrested at his home in Walworth in connection with the inquiry and released on police bail.

Yup, When Allah decides, our number is up. We can make any excuse.
 
^ you can do dua for them through out their whole life that they die upon islaam worshipping Allaah truelly without associating partners with him. But if they deny it then thats that, Allaah will judge them on the day of judgement and we dont pray for them.

no, we dont pray for non-muslims after they die, we only pray for their guidance while they live...


the prophets uncle died on disbelief and he couldnt pray for him as he was reprimanded by Allah...

Though we believe in the concept of 'Sarbat Da Bhalla' Welfare Of All Mankind' Living or dead. Allah knows best! - He's merciful.

yeah Allah is all-merciful :)
BUT he is all just :D


in other words, you go rape another mans sister, mercy would be to forgive the rapist? naa.. justice would be to punish the rapist :)

Defintion of punishment varies from person to person.

Though these do not compare. A person who may follow another Religion does not equate a rapist! . :)
 
^ whoah im really sorry if it appeared that i was trying to say that :| seriously did it seem that way :O??


nah what i meant is say even if a muslim is a serial killing rapist

you gotta realise Allah is ALL merciful so he would have mercy according to how much he in his WISDOM (as he is also ALL-WISE) knows to have and dish out the punishment (as he is all JUST) as is required.


i hope you dont take me the wrong wway avar :)

I get you dude. - Oh well, sadly shooting and stabbing are too common these days here in the UK! :cry:
 
Assalamoalaikum Brother,

This is so much like what happened to me around 15 years back.

I was In college when I found out that my class fellow for the past 3-4 years in school was murdered. It was horrible. I saw his dead body in the newspaper. My friends were crying.

He was someone I had grown up with, listening to, and being so inspired by his " above average thoughts".

That incident helped me renew my Iman.
 
one of my best friends was shot in front of me.

its sad that everything comes down to violence, no peaceful solutions when you have a poverty stricken mind state, failed by the education system.

Subhanallah.
 
Yea, imagine that your friend is the murderer in a scenario, thats just as scary you know.
 
A friend of my brother's killed himself because everyone used to tease him and tell him he looked like Harry Potter... so he couldnt take it. It was only then that the kids at his school woke up to themselves. Then about a few weeks later, it is back to teasing a new kid, which goes to show not enough is being done these days in schools....
Hope i wasnt too off-topic here :hiding:
 
i call my nephew harry potter sometimes.. but he just laughs it off


lol what happened with that kid lol
 
He hung himself, and no-one knew, then they did this candle ritual thing at his school. He was into books and stuff, very very smart kid, so sad! :cry:
