For five days, Aziela Shaharuddin and her family have waited without news of her husband, Malaysian fire official Mohd. Sani Harul, who remains missing after floods in Nepal.
Aziela said the family had gathered with hope, longing and fear as they awaited information about his location and condition. In a message posted on Threads, she prayed that Mohd. Sani was safe and protected from danger.
O God, You know how much we miss him. You know how much we want to see his face again. We want to embrace him again.
She asked for protection from flood currents, landslides, cold and injuries, and prayed that the teams searching for him would receive guidance to find his location. Mohd. Sani is among 49 Malaysians identified as unaccounted for by the travel agencies Leaf Holiday, Fishtail, Dream Tibet Travel and Tour, and Kailash Journeys.
You know where he is. You see him when our eyes cannot. You hear his voice when our ears cannot.
“Maybe there are words we have not had the chance to say to him,” Aziela wrote. “Maybe there are things we still hope to have the opportunity to do with him.” She said the family could only keep trying and praying while entrusting his safety to God.
“God, we do not ask for anything great,” she wrote. “We only ask for him to return to his family.”
God, we do not ask for anything great. We only ask for him to return to his family.
