Part of being grateful is remembering to express gratitude towards other people. The Prophet of Islam Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, He who does not thank people, does not thank God” (Ahmad, Tirmidhi).

I travelled with my wife from Chennai to Colombo on 10^th September 2024, via FITS AIR – An Aircraft between Colombo / Chennai / Colombo and my Gas Stove (an important kitchen need) was returned back to my daughter’s house, based on the baggage policy of the airline.

I contacted FITS AIR Chennai Office in Nungambakkam on 8^th October 2024.through a letter expressing the plight of non-availability of this important kitchen need and requested to arrange to send it back on FREE OF CHARGE. I submitted all the relevant documents. I was in touch with three officials including a lady officer. Efforts continued and FITS AIR also tried to do their level bast for me.

In the meantime, I wrote a letter to Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Supreme Head (Fifth Khalifa – Caliph) of the World-wide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Islam (to which we belong to), requesting His Holiness to pray for this matter.

By the Grace of God, the Prestige Gas Stove reached into my hand on 14^th October 2024 at Bandaranayake International Airport, Colombo.

My special thanks go to Mr. Ashok Kumar Gangadharan, Asst. Airport Manager, Fits Air, Chennai, Mr. Manimaran M., Customer Service Executive, FITS AIR at International Airport (M.A.A.), Chennai, Mr. Nehal Ahmed, Station Manager, Tamil Nadu and a Lady Officer at Fits Air Office in Nungambakkam, Chennai. This collective team worked hard for this effort came into a success.  Moreover, my special thanks go to my daughter in Chennai as well.

I appreciate all of their efforts, I salute them all, and I say, Thank you Very much indeed. Jazakallah. May God Reward you all.
