A Tribute to Captain Bilal Zafar Shaheed


Cross-posted from an unknown source.

“Think not of those who are slain in Allah’s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord; They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah. And with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (martyr’s) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve.”
Al-Quran  (3: 169-170)

Captain Bilal Zafar Shaheed

Captain Bilal Zafar, a commando of the Pakistan army SSG (the world’s best elite force), embraced martyrdom on the 17th of May, 2009 – fighting terrorists and militants in the embattled valley of Swat.
He always used to say “Bullets can’t harm me”, and thus it proved true. He was hit on the arm by a bullet but he carried on until he was hit by an RPG (Rocket propelled grenade) where he embraced martyrdom on the spot.
His last message has been circulated widely on print and electronic media. This is what he had to say:
“In the volleys of fire, in the thunder of bombs, there are a few who just do not stop.knowing that they are surrounded by death, knowing that they could leave their wives widows and children orphans but they just keep on moving because something is pumping in their hearts and flowing through their veins known as honor, devotion and motivation. Death over surrender. That is why they say death before disgrace.Pakistan Army Zindabad”.
We Salute your courage, Sir! This sacrifice of your’s for this nation will never be forgotten. At least not by us: the people of Pakistan.
