Inna Lillah wa Inna Eliahey Rajeoun

My father wrote to me on 17th June 2006:

AOA.This is the 2nd worst thing happened to us after Taimoor's death. Today

(17th June) some unknown motor cyclists shot Amjad Ashfaq and one of their
Pharmacy employee while they were reaching their home in Defence Society.
The employee (Faisal) died at the spot while Amjad died in hospital. Inna
Lillah wa Inna Eliahey Rajeoun. I spoke to Ashfaq sahib and Amjad's Mom.
Please talk to them and condole this very untimely and very hearbreaking
death. He was no doubt a very noble soul. Allah bless his soul.
