Two Muslim Lads Helped Save an Elderly Couple from a House Fire – ilmfeed

Two young men have been praised after helping an elderly couple and another family member escape from a house fire in Leeds.

According to local reports, 22-year old Mohsin Qayyum, and 20-year-old Mohammed Yusuf Iqbal were driving past when they noticed the fire and immediately stopped to help.

The grandmother, who was trapped in the house, Sheila Robinson said: “We are the ones where the fire occurred. “My family and I will be forever grateful to these young men.”

Kayla, whose grandparents and brother were inside the property, thanked the men in a Facebook post:

“Just a little thank you to these guys and Ben Russell who saved my grandma, grandad and my brother from a fire this afternoon. Drove past the garden, seen it, and ran straight in and made sure everyone was okay without a second thought!

“Everyone is okay and the rest is just items that can be replaced. And a massive thank you to everyone on the street for ringing the fire brigade and for everyone’s concerns.”

Yusuf told the Telegraph & Argus, “We drove past it, and we’ve seen the bush on fire and it didn’t look very controlled so we stopped the car and walked around the fire, we saw people inside, called fire brigade who said they already knew about it. Our next action was getting people out the house.”

Yusuf’s mother, Saima said, “As a mother, I am incredibly proud of both Yusuf and Mohsin for their actions.

“They showed remarkable bravery and maturity in a frightening situation, putting the wellbeing of others before themselves.

“I have always taught Yusuf the importance of being hardworking, kind, and respectful to everyone, and to help others whenever possible.

“He has a very caring nature and is always willing to put others first.
