Say (to them oh Muhammad): "Verily, the death from which you flee will surely meet you, then you will be sent back to (Allâh), the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will tell you what you used to do. "

Al-Jumu'ah 62 Vs 8

If only he knew he was going to the UK to go and Die.......Life indeed is a Mystery.

I don't get. Did he travel to UK from a village or from the city side of Kwara? Since airport is in the City and not in the village, maybe we should blame city people. Mtchew undecided
