The death of he-who-shouldn't-be-named is one of the most early memory I had from my childhood. I was 5 yo then. No TV in most houses. And people used to get their news from radio most of which were broken and old, but regardless did their job.
That's how we got that news, and everyone was then talking of it. I have seen the environment then, and seen how people reacted.
And even earlier memory was of the famine of that time and starving people arriving at our home asking for water from washed rice [ভাতের মাড়], and never the rice itself.
Once you pass through real hardship, these petty things of our modern time don't matter much.
And God doesn't give power to people He loves. That's another law spoken by a companion during a historic hard time for Muslims. Remembering which will help us to make sense of all the things that's happening around the world, or are about to happen.
May Allah guide and protect us all in our lifetime.
