“A good father will leave his imprint on his daughter for the rest of her life,” said American author James Dobson. On Sunday, an Egyptian father saved the life of his daughter in a heroic scene that must be engraved in his daughter’s mind for good. 

At Ismailia train station, a 12-year-old girl fell onto tracks of a train, while she was walking with her four-member family along the edge of the platform. 

The father saw his daughter falling and another train was coming. He took less than one second of time to throw himself onto his daughter’s weak body to protect her from being struck by the train.

This brave scene spread on social media platforms on Monday and thousands of people reacted with it; expressing their appreciation and full respect to that “brave dad” as many described him. 

A number of the incident’s eyewitnesses spoke to TV channels Monday evening and they all agree that the “brave father” saved his daughter’s life; risking his. 

Muhammad Ashraf, the cameraman of the Ismailia train incident, revealed the details of the matter of protecting a guerrilla father for his daughter from being run over under the wheels of a train in Ismailia.

“The girl was in a shock. She had minor injuries,” said one of the eyewitnesses.

All fathers love their daughters, but the love and family bonds in the Egyptian society is totally different. Not all the world’s parents are ready to scarify their lives for their children, but definitely all Egyptians parents are. 

The people of ancient Egypt valued family life highly, and this is the case even now. They treasured children and regarded them as a great blessing. If a couple had no children, they would pray to the gods and goddesses for help. The importance of family has not changed dramatically even though the structures are beginning to.
