Two Muslim men have moved the Internet by proving the true spirit of Ramadan with their kindness. These Indian Muslims are carrying out the funeral rites of Hindus who died of COVID-19.
Many families left their dead dejected and turned away from performing their final rites. With families being wary of coming in contact with the infected bodies, there was no one to carry out the last rites of the dead. That’s when Danish Siddiqui and Saddam Qurashi, started cremating the coronavirus victims.
Saddam Qurashi & Danish Siddiqui from Bhopal have cremated nearly 60 bodies of #Hindus who died of #Covid.
When kin refused to touch bodies, duo cremate it. "Dharm se uper insaniyay aur desh hai," they said.@vinodkapri @zoo_bear @digvijaya_28 @abhisar_sharma @sharmasupriya pic.twitter.com/bJ5UrhFv4f

The residents of Bhopal, India assert that humanity comes first with their kindness, as the new surge of cases hit the country.
So far, they have cremated around 60 Hindu coronavirus victims whose families missed the funerals in the fear of getting infected. Some families couldn’t perform the last rites due to COVID regulations on dead bodies and cremation ground.
Despite fasting during Ramadan, both men regularly visit hospitals and ferry dead bodies to the cremation ground.
Netizens from both countries have been lauding this incredible act of kindness.
