On 17 May Tariq Ahmad sahib was martyred in Layyah, Pakistan. He was 41 years old.
Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih V (atba) mentioned in his Friday sermon on 25th May 2012,
“On 17 May Tariq Ahmad sahib was martyred in Layyah, Pakistan. He was 41 years old. He had gone out to buy grocery. On his way home he was kidnapped by unknown persons. He was brutally beaten up and later shot at in the head. His body was put in a drum and thrown in a canal. According to the report by the local Ameer sahib it was not a case of animosity to the Jama’at but Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih thinks it was precisely that. May God elevate the status of the shaheed and may He make the enemies a cautionary sign while manifesting clear signs in favour of Ahmadiyyat. It should always be remembered that unless prayers are made and signs are sought from God in such situations, the signs that God has promised do not appear. Shaheed leaves behind a widow, six sons and two daughters.”
