Said's hamartia/flaw is being unable to let go of the past. He holds grudges towards people which is proven through his hatred for Illish. Said is out there for revenge and his inability to let go of the bad things that have happened in his past are what make him a flawed character. His belief in getting back at people is what drives his character's journey throughout the story and eventually proves to doom him as he dies at the end.
Said has excessive pride through being overconfident in his beliefs of getting back at Illish and through his hatred for Illish and Nabawiyya. Said is very stuck up with what he is doing and he believes what he is doing is morally correct even though ideally he should be focusing on a new life rather than bursting back into his past for revenge. His excessive pride takes a big toll on him as he dies in the end primarily due to his ignorance of finding the solution to the problem he was having.
The biggest turning point in the story is when Said sees his daughter Sana but only to be rejected by her with Sana disapproving of what Said is doing. Said had waited for a long time to see Sana with her meaning almost everything to him but the rejection further stimulates Said's desire to strike back at Illish, which turns out to be the wrong thing to do. Losing Sana meant that Said truly lost a huge part of himself. His realizations do occur when he tries to murder Illish. He starts to realize the new identity and the bad things he has done when trying to murder Illish which cause Said to realize how far he has fallen in his life.
His decline was deserved and his demise was definitely bound to happen due to his ignorance. He knew that murder attempts can definitely go wrong and put him in more trouble in his life. He understood the consequences of his vengeful personality but he stuck to those negative characteristics which resulted in a death that was brought upon himself.
