PRESS RELEASE
It is with great sadness that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat confirms that earlier today, a well known and respected Ahmadi Muslim, Mr Maqsood Ahmad (58), was martyred in Nawab Shah, Sindh after a sectarian attack. This latest attack comes just days after another Ahmadi Muslim, Mr Chaudhury Muhammad Akram was also martyred in Nawab Shah.Just after 2pm local time Mr Maqsood Ahmad was stopped by unknown assailants in the Mohni shopping area and they started firing at him. Due to the severity of the attack, Mr Maqsood Ahmad died instantly. The deceased had been in the area on routine business in his capacity as a salesman for a private medicinal company.The deceased lived in Rabwah but regularly travelled to Nawab Shah for work purposes. Because of his regular visits he had become well known in the area where he was attacked. For some time he had been receiving various threats, whilst one of his clients had also been intimidated and told to stop dealing with Maqsood Ahmad because he was an Ahmadi Muslim.The spokesman for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat, Abid Khan said:“Hatred against the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat in Pakistan continues to spread and leads to such tragic incidents. Hatred and persecution of any organisation or group must be condemned by all those who believe in peace and tolerance. Such attacks serve only to destabilise society and to spread discord.”The International Community, Media and Human Rights organisations are all urged to take action to safeguard the basic human and civil rights of Ahmadi Muslims both in Pakistan and in other countries where they face discrimination. In an era where freedom of religion and belief is accepted as a basic human right throughout the world it is of disbelief that anti-Ahmadiyya legislation is still active and indeed still being enforced in Pakistan.End

Very sad the life of an Ahmadi Muslim in Pakistan is unsafe simply because he calls himself a Muslim, history repeats exactly the same treatment was meted out to companions of the Holy Prophet SAW by arabs to those who would declare that “God is one and mohammad (saw) is his true messenger” may God safe Pakistan from evil “adimussamaa” mullahs’ designs.
Inna lilla he wa inna alaehe rajeoon. We all are from Allah and to Him we all return.
The enemies of Ahmadiyyat should give up. They can never win. For each Ahmadi murdered in Pakistan hundreds of new members join the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat (if not thousands).
When General Zia ul Haq made the stay of our Khalifa (tul-Masih IV) impossible in Pakistan he travelled to London, where he started MTA – Muslim Television Ahmadiyya. Thus instead of ‘silencing’ the Jamaat General Zia ul Haq was an instrument in the spread of the message (unwillingly…).
That Jamaat will prevail which has Allah’s blessings. Looking at the new Mosques opened by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat in Europe and looking at the situation of Pakistan today it seems obvious to me where Allah’s blessings are…
very sad incident. INNALILLAHI WA INNA ALEHIRAJIOON
Inna Lillahw Wa inna ilahe rajeoon…
May Allah bless his family and all jama’t members with patience.amin
Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajeoon.
Allah hamari janon ke sadqey hamarey watan ko hamari izzaton ko bacha ley.
May Allah Almighty give patience to this family this is so sad news.Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajeoon.
Innaa lillhe wa innaa elaihe rajiuoon
We all belongs to Allah and eventually we all will go to him.

When blood of marter wasted, neither it will waste now. It will bring fruit
Inna Liallahi waa Inaa Ilaihi Rajioon
May Allah grant patience and comfort to his loved ones and be their provider. And may Allah exalt his status in heaven, and may he seeks the nearness of holy Prophet. Became eit is for him that he gave his life.Amen
One more try on behalf of the ignorant people to have the already many fold curses to multiply on them. how painfully ignorant they are. Alas and Alas!
Whereas they should know that Ahmadies by the Grace of Allah have a loving and living God. Who is always with them. It is they those have been deserted by Him.
The blood of innocent cannot be compared by that of a culprit. It brings devastating result on such heedless people. They should fear Allah’s Decree.
I am certain that if conducted a research the people who killed innocent Ahamdies, we will find their miserable condition thereafter. We are sure they cannot proposer. And yet they will be accounted for this brutality on the day of Judgement before God and his Messenger.
In the mean time we should, with sincere sympathy keep praying for these people to take heed and be saved from committing this grave sin. Amen. Amen and Amen again.
In fact they are destroying themselves. I really feel sorry because their acts only increase them in misery. They will never prosper by killing innocent people.
My Allah know how I grieve for them too.May Allah have Mercy now. Amen
It is indeed heartrending, but the departed soul got the nearness to Allah – by getting this Shahadat. The culprits, murderers will meet their own fate by the Creator – just and most Powerful God. We all have to go one day; ‘Kullo man elaiha Fan’. so, the deceased was luckey in this respect.
May Allah grant patience to all near and dear family members.
Kalimullah Khan.
God welcomes good Muslims into heaven:
… «Do you think that they are bigger sinners than you, because they have not known God as yet, because they have followed their religion and they will follow it until they are attracted by ours? You must not. I say that many a time they are better than you because, while they have a religion that is not holy, they know how to be just. There is no lack of just people in any country and religion. God observes the deeds of men, not their words. And if He sees that a Gentile, out of the justice of his heart, according to nature does what the Law of Sinai prescribes, why should He consider him contemptible?» …
