There is a lot of talk about a film in the whole world and especially in the Arab world. The name of this movie is Goat Life which in Arabic
It is called “Hayyah Al-Ma’iz”. Although this film is available on Netflix, but it is not being watched here in Saudi Arabia, perhaps the reason is that the true incident based on which India made this film had another positive aspect of the incident which was not filmed. went I haven’t seen the movie but have heard some clips and comments about it and its story. Today I tell you this completely true story.
This incident was narrated by a Saudi man sitting on a channel three years ago. The film is now made on it. It happened that in 1991, this incident happened in the city of Hafar al-Batin in Saudi Arabia. Hafar al-Batan is a city in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia, whose nearest international airport is Dammam.
It so happened that an Indian man named Najeeb came on a company visa. At that time this person was later named Hindutha Najeeb. He did not become a Muslim at that time. In those days, there were no mobile phones, the language was not understood by the first time visitors. Sometimes a friend, sponsor or company could not reach the airport, or forgot, etc. Najib’s company did not come to the airport to pick up Najib. He did not know which city the company was in. Meanwhile, a Saudi citizen tried to talk to him. Apparently, no one understood what each other was saying.The Saudi national may have mistaken him for his worker and signaled him to go with him or deliberately tried to take him along, God knows, Najib went with him.
The man took Najib to his vet. Generally, people who keep sheep, goats and camels in Saudi Arabia build tents far away from the population in the desert and make long wooden poles for the animals. From there the road or population is far away. Najib was taken there and made to graze the animals. Nothing was happening because of the language barrier. In short, Najib spent five years grazing animals in the desert away from his home without pay. There was little food and that was all.Five years later, Najib took the opportunity to hit his sponsor on the head with an iron rod and somehow managed to escape.
It was later learned that his sponsor had died from the stabbing of the rod. Meanwhile, Najib reached the road, where a good man picked him up and took him to the city or a town. Someone informed the police there and they arrested him and took him away. The case went to court. Najeeb was ordered to give 170,000 Rahal to the deceased’s son as dowry. In default of payment of the fine, he was to serve five years in prison and face the death penalty. However, Najeeb went to jail for five years because of where he would get the money. This case and Najib’s incident gradually spread among the local people. It took a lot of time in the collective effort to release Najib.
When the local Saudis first heard this whole incident and read the court’s decision, they became active for Najib’s release from prison. Collected. There was no social media at that time. People had to go and ask. It was a big amount which was difficult to complete with ten twenty, one hundred riyals. Finally, after a few years of effort, the money was finally paid. People went to the son of Najib’s sponsor and took him to jail and started the process of presenting the dowry money to the criminal. Najib’s sponsor’s son had also softened after such a long time and realized his father’s abuse of Najib.He said though you have killed my father but you have also been raped so I am returning this money as a penalty for the rape done to you by father and hope you forgive my father. will take When Najib came out of jail, he was given some more money by the Saudi people who tried to release him, on which Najib asked, Are you Muslims?He said Alhamdulillah! Why are you asking like this?Najib asked, “Was my sponsor also a Muslim?” They understood why he was asking this.He said that we Muslims also have bad and good people. It is said that Najib converted to Islam and returned to India after being inspired by the behavior of the sponsor’s son to help these people.So this was the full story told by a Saudi three years ago. It will be found on YouTube in Arabic language. India has filmed a half-finished story. The point is that many such incidents have happened and may be happening, but it would be very wrong to consider the entire Saudi society as such.A few years ago, you may have seen a video that a Saudi citizen was freeing a Pakistani driver who was in jail by paying a ransom of three lacs. This driver killed 3 people in the accident.
The movie is a must watch now as the acting, music and cinematography of this movie are being appreciated a lot.
