One life, one Lord, and multiple causes of death in Egypt! #Minya_Train
In the beginning
As we Egyptians say (one life and one Lord) or (his time had come),
And with complete certainty it is the decree of God and there is no argument about that, and as God said in His Holy Book (for every term there is a record)
I completely agree with the above and with full certainty in what my Lord Almighty has said
{And for every nation is a [decreed] term. So when their time comes, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].}
But the causes have multiplied in Egypt, and we have even started dying in bundles, such that whether you are walking, standing, sitting, crying, laughing, thirsty, hungry, lost, running, sleeping, silent, or talking — and now it can be in a package deal. With the negligence that exists in Egypt, you might die from a train accident, succumbing to your injuries, or from what the collision left behind, then drowning — and the strangest thing is that the body goes missing. Oh my country, oh dearest of countries, oh my country, Egypt always surprises us with what happens in it!! There is no power nor strength except through God, and God is sufficient for us and the best Disposer of affairs regarding all those who caused the accident, those who oversee them, and all those who were negligent and fell short in their work. Our condolences go to the families of the victims and the missing, and may God complete the recovery of the injured, Lord.
