Muslims were among the first to be on the scene as they rushed to the knock on the doors of unsuspecting residents and evacuate the building. Locals said that if it wasn&#8217;t for the Muslims who were awake for early Morning prayers, the death toll would have been much higher.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These Muslim Stories have been a true inspiration to all mankind through their acts of kindness.
