Another Ahmadi medical professional lost his life to violence and extremism in Pakistan, it was conveyed by the worldwide head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community.
During the Friday sermon he delivered at Baitul Futuh Mosque in London yesterday, February 3rd, His Holiness, Mirza Masroor Ahmad spoke about the latest martyrdom in Pakistan that recently came to light.
His Holiness said the news of the martyrdom arrived late because of the remoteness of the area where the crime of the brutal murder took place.
Hadhrat Ahmad said the victim Mohammad Amir worked as a medical despenser at a hospital in a remote area in Harnai district in the Balochistan province of Pakistan where he was shot to death on December 1, 2011 by unknown men who entered the clinic where he worked.
Known to his acquaintances and friends as Dr. Amir, he was known to be a 'pious-natured and sincere person,' His Holiness said.
Originally hailing from Muzaffargarh, Punjab area of Pakistan, Dr. Amir joined the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in 1994 at Qaidabad in Khushab district of Punjab.
Dr. Amir was the only Ahmadi Muslim in his family, it was learned.
Prior to his joining the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, it was learned, Dr Amir used to belonged to an extremist group and there are speculations that he may have been killed by the same group as a revenge for joining Ahmadiyyat and deserting the extremists group.
Dr Amir had gotten married in 1998 and the couple had two children.
His wife also worked at the Harnai hospital.
His Holiness led Dr. Amīr’s funeral prayers in absentia and prayed for the deceased and the family.
