Dr. Ali was providing his services at Rabwah's famous Tahir Heart Institute.
Qasim Rashid, national spokesperson of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community - USA, expressed regret and sorrow over the senseless killing through his Twitter posts. "From God we are and to God must we return," Rashid wrote.
"Dr Mahdi Ali's crime was healing the ill & lessening the pain of the suffering. For this "horrible" crime he paid with his life," Rashid added.
The victim, an Assistant Professor of Cardiology at Ohio University, is a younger brother of Imam Hadi Ali Chaudhary, missionary of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community serving at the Ahmadiyya Institute of Islamic Theology and Languages in Canada.
*Later reports clarified victim was shot before entering the graveyard.

This is indeed very sad but we will not stop here. If you (whoever did this) kill one we will put hundreds of thousands more in line to server Islam and Ahmadiyyat and our countries. Every Shahadat (getting killed for Islam and Ahmadiyyat) will unit us more strong and pay back with Allah's mercy on us.
ReplyDeleteAhmadiyyat Zinda bad.
Really sad incident but how can you say it was due to his faith at this early stage? Why are other lines of investigation being ruled out?
ReplyDeleteInna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un. He was martyred just because of his faith. It was target killing and we all know who is behind it. Just a few days ago our brother Khalil Ahmad sb was martyred when he was in police custody.
ReplyDeleteVery sad news. Inna Lilla he wa Inna Ilehe Rajeon. May God keep all Ahmadi's safe and away from evil eyes and intentions. Amen
ReplyDeleteA great person and a great doctor, whoever knew him found him very nice, quiet and gentleman. Met him several times. He was a great person and a great cardiologist as well.
ReplyDeleteits totally shamed on them who had done this bloody act. May God keep all Humans safe. Bc'z Humanity first.

Lo! these people cut their trees themselves
And start begging for a shelter
God has made three professions as three pillars of human society Teachers (philosophers, writers and annalists )Doctors (of body and soul)and Judges. When a divine destiny decides to remove a nation from the canvas of earth since that nation qualifies for that by a continuous persecution committed by one powerful group and by a continuous shameful silence of other powerful group. The sons of that nation start cutting above mentioned trees or pillars of the society. Being a nation let we think about to stop cutting trees which in other sense is the ending of a nation.
اناللہ وانا الیہ راجعون. اللہ ان بدبختوں کے ٹکڑے کر دے اور انکی خاک اڑا دے جنہوں نے یہ مکروہ فعل کیا هے اور کرتے جا رهے هیں. اللہ شہید کے درجات بلند فرمائے اور همیں بهی انکے نقش قدم پہ چلنے والا بنائے.

who advised him to come to Pakistan ? people asking humanitarian aid actually supporting these extreme elements - I don't care he is Ahmadi or whatever - I feel sorry that a brilliant , young human died.this is the time we should accept that religion is private issue. Hard to find word for condolence.
ReplyDeleteMay ALLAH souls him rest in peace and ALLAH may keep all Ahmadies safe in all over the world particularly in Pakistan. Aameen.

Allah bless his souls and give his family the strength to move past this
ReplyDeleteDr Mehdi Sahib, was foremost a MUSLIM; He was a father; a husband; a physician; an artist, a poet whose life was taken away from him because he believed in peaceful coexistence, in compassion; in respect towards the other no matter what their faith. This is the true Islam that he and all Ahmadi Muslims subscribe to and live by. Rest assured that we will continue to carry the true torch of Islam in the face of bigotry and tyranny. Amen!
ReplyDeleteShame on you people, living in Pakistan, you guys get out for slogans for party leaders can't you come put to stop such crimes ??? Regardless of anyone believes these people are your heroes whom you're losing everyday by staying SiLENT! Come out & safe your country men....
ReplyDeleteThis is really sorrowful act. A young man being slaughtered in front of his family just because of his belief. This is a point to think where we are going and what be our end. If we can't bear a man around us from different school of thoughts what else is left to say and show to the world that WE are the true followers of truce.... I do t know whether he was right or not cz i dont have any authority to stamp on but what i know only one thing that he has been killed in the way of proving his belief so he is not murdered he has been martyred.....May God rest his soul in peace.

ReplyDeleteNothing justifies killing! Who has the right to decide which sect shall live or die?? It saddens me when I see how many innocent people are killed because of hate, malice and ignorance. I fail to understand how others refuse to see Ahmadis as humans too! Apparently all is justified and no law is needed! It sickens me at which rate the human race is spiraling towards its own doom!
ReplyDeleteI pray that his soul is at peace and send my prayers to his family who had to witness such a horrendous crime!

ReplyDeleteThe country that professed Islam as the main religion and never actually practices Islam but only bring shame to Islam. Muhammad SAW had wanred his deciples but they choosed to ignored him SAW. Innalillahi rajioon.
ReplyDeleteإِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ
ReplyDeleteIt is really a very sad incident. We are in a very difficult situation in this country neither can all leave nor can live. May Almighty Allah keep all Ahmadies from Brutal and fanatic so called Muslims. Ameen
May Allah help his family get passed this heart breaking incident. What a shame that the Pakistani police have no interest in investigating further into this case. May Allah (swt) protect Ahmadi Muslims from these so-called Muslims. Crazy to think that these horrible things are going on but no one cares to take action but they just let it happen. What has happen to humanity? "Love for all hatred for none" - Hadrat Mizra Ghulam Ahmed
ReplyDeletedo these barbarians consider themselves the owners of this world that they can decide who can live here and who will not? it is not their job to decide!
ReplyDeletethose murderers, i am sure, would not have done a single act of kindness for any living creature, and still they thought that they should live on while the life of a person selflessly benefiting the suffering mankind should be put to an end!!!!!
i pray that whoever did this cruel act suffers hard from heart ailments before entering his grave and finds no Mahdi to treat him! (they should not get what they snatched from others) wouldn't it be justified? but Allah knows best how He will punish such people, and InshAllah these arrogant murderers will meet their punishment soon!
This incident is really a sad incident and Dr. Mahdi's demise is a huge loss not only for entire Ahmadiyya Community but also for the entire world. May his soul rest in peace....:(
ReplyDeleteThis is a very sorrowful news as Dr. Mahdi's death is not only a loss for Ahmaddiya community but also for the entire world, it is a huge loss to lose such a great doctor and a human being. May his soul rest in peace.....:(
