In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The horrific news of the roadway accident, that took the lives of our beloved youth on military service, struck me with deep sorrow. I would like to offer my condolences to the grief-stricken families, from the bottom of my heart, I ask God to shower them with His divine mercy on these blessed days and nights ( Lailat al Qadr). Military and non-Military officials should take all necessary efforts to prevent tragedies like this. The lives of our beloved youth should not be exposed to such dangers.
