@Shahzad you are correct, good or bad has returned to Azhar only not to his son.

@Sumit: What ever good or bad deed someone is doing comes back to him only, If Azhar has done anything wrong, he is answerable for that before Allah. Allah will not take his son's life for his mistake. Anyway, Though Azhar has been convicted as guilty by the commission, it really doesn't mean he has really done match fixing, he was just a scapegoat. And, just think what would happen to people like you, who is increasing the pain of a Father who just lost his son. You are really sick and biased. I would thank all who prayed for Marhoom Ayaz, May Allah provide him a place in Jannat-ul-Firdaous, also give strength to his family... Ameen.
