Woman Worried About Missing Iftar, Rapido Driver's Surprise Act Wins The Internet
With devotion, patience and spirit of community, Ramadan, the holy month, comes with a rhythm to Muslims the world over. During the period of almost 30 days, the believers starve between the sunrise and sunset, starting with sehri in the morning and continuing the day with iftar evening meal with which the fast is broken. In addition to the fact that this month is based on fasting (abstinence of food and water), it is also about prayer, contemplation, charity, and returning to faith.
It is the most basic of gestures, but it comes at a very opportune time; here is a brief but very touching act of kindness which has captured the attention of the internet in the midst of these very spiritual days. A video of a caring act by a Rapido driver at the time of iftar has trended on the internet with many of the viewers often being moved.
The popular clip that is currently on Instagram was recorded when a woman passenger asked the driver to accelerate since it was at the verge of sunset. She may miss iftar, so one may hear her saying, Bhaia jaldi chala sakte ho, iftaari ka time ho gaya hai. Bhook bhi lagi hai bohot, which means that she was concerned about not being late to get to her destination to have a fast.
The driver did not just speed up; he/she took a considered option. One time when he was riding, he pulled over briefly and got out. A few minutes after, he came back with food and drink such that the traveler would have something to eat in case they got stuck in the road.
The woman was caught unawares by the sudden act and she smiled and told her she was not necessary. But the driver assured her that she could easily have her fast in the cab when she felt like.
The little gesture immediately resonated on the Internet. The audience applauded the driver because he was emphatic and humane and remarked that the incident was the essence of Ramadan, empathy and compassion towards others.
The comments section was overwhelmed by appreciations by the social media users. One of the viewers said, this man is a pure gem. The other one remarked, this is the India we love, more than politics, it is full of kindness. The gesture, as noted by many, was reminiscent of harmony and common humanity that cuts across religion.
To most people, the video was not a one-time good act. It turned into a representation of daily kindness - strangers watching out of each other in a significant point of belief.
Ramadan has great religious importance in the Islamic religion because it marks the revelation of the holy Quran to Prophet Muhammad. Daytime fasting is compulsory to healthy adult Muslims and it is done to promote discipline, gratitude, as well as empathy to less privileged people. Devotees also have a lot of praying, charity works and nightly Tarawih prayers in mosques along with fasting.
These acts of generosity may be particularly poignant as the holy month is going on. Ramadan promotes charity not just by acts of charity but also daily activities; by giving water, sharing meals or even assisting someone in need.
Ramadan is supposed to end this year with festival of Eid al-Fitr of around March 20 upon the sighting of the moon. The day is celebrated by concluding the observation of fasting and starting with a series of prayers in groups, feasts, and altruism.
And maybe that is why this video touched this chord. Amidst traffic movement and daily life, a stranger stopped to make sure that somebody could see their religion in peace, a lesson that some of the strongest narratives are created using minor, human details.
