@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.
i prayer god to give u &all family member to bear such type of incident ,recover as early as possible
Harry and Dee, might be you guys have fallen in pit of modernization, but you dont that deeds are always meant to be rewarded whether they are good or bad, i dint blame his son but the man who was taking care of him. don't think you he provided high grade bike to his 19 years old son just to maintain his pride in the society, i said the truth but Azhar cheated the country. did you think would it have gone in vain? Mr. harry honesty comes before family
@sumit: Sumit , I am shocked to see your comments !!! I am not a great fan of Azhar. So according to you death is because of the Match fixing ? I wish you speedy recovery and get into normal and balance mind of thinking. OMG - Feel sorry for your family who lives with you
its a bad news for us ..May Allah rest him peace AMEEN ..i request all to recite him in your dua"s
VERY SAD
Very sad on loss of a young life, but his father should be held responsible for his death. Who in his right mind would buy his teenage son 1000 CC sports motor bike. When my father bought me 100 CC Yamaha, one of father's friend told him, soon you will get call from hospital or from police station. Teenagers, all over the world are same..they believe they are invincible. One of my friend told me that when he got his motor bike license (in Canada) and wanted to buy a high end sports motor bike, the dealer refused to sell him due to his inexperience.
Azharuddin has paid the cost of doing match fixing, his son was innocent dint even know why he lost his life, and government should get strict on issuing the license for high grade bikes
A DEEPLY SAD NEWS WHICH BREAKSUPS EVERYONE HEART. WE HAVE COME FROM GOD AND DIES ACORDING TO HIS WISH.BUT I THINK THIS THE TEST TOWARDS THE AZHARUDDIN FAMILY.I JUST PRAY FOR Ayazuddin THAT HIS SOUL MAY REST IN PEACE.TAKE CARE

I pray to GOD to provide strength to Azharbhai and to his Family members to come out of this tragedy. It is indeed a very sad incidence.
India has lost Young Azhar, May his sole rest in piece . Very shocking and heart breaking. May GOD give strength to Mr Azharuddin and his family to come out of this most difficult times. I have grown by seeing Azhar battingfor India. God bless.
Very sad news about azhar's son. my condolences to him and may god give him the strength to pass this hard time of life.
This message is heart breaking to all Indians, I am so sad and pray god to provide his family the strength to control their emotions. Even I have experienced this feeling during my younger Brother i.e Yogendra Devdhekar's accidental death on 2nd October 2010.
I feel extremely sorry for Mr Azharuddin and Mrs Naureen for the irreparable loss. No words can really condole the grieving parents. Time for parents to rethink on the need to keep the children away from such high end Superfast bykes, which may not suit the Indian conditions. In any case, when the age for holding a driving license itself is 18, how wise would it be to give the youngsters these fast bykes at the age of 18-19 is a question to be pondered over.
shocking.Just not possible to accept the news.However thing has already happened.......nothing to do any more.May his soul rest in peace and may God give enough strength to rest of the family to bear such a huge loss.
My heart goes out to Azharuddin’s family for the irreplaceable loss. May his soul rest in peace.Ameen
