19-year-old Imam who was killed in Haryana was praying for Hindu-Muslim unity; Video viral
Can be seen saying “Hindu-Muslim baith ke khaye thaali mei, Aisa Hindustan bana de ya Allah”
Gurgaon, Haryana: The heart-rending incident that unfolded in Gurgaon, where a mosque was set ablaze resulting in the death of a young deputy imam, Maulana Hafiz Saad, has taken a new turn as a video of him praying for Hindu-Muslim unity has emerged on social media. The video has been widely shared across various social media platforms, drawing attention to Saad's message of harmony for the country.
In the viral video, 19-year-old Maulana Saad is seen reciting a heartfelt prayer, calling for solidarity and amity between Hindus and Muslims in India. His words resonate with a poignant appeal:
“Hindu-Muslim baith ke khaye thaali mei/ Aisa Hindustan bana de ya Allah.” (Where Hindus and Muslims break bread on the same plate, Make such an India, O Allah.)
The touching video showcases Saad's commitment to promoting communal harmony, despite the tragic events that later unfolded. The young deputy imam served at the Anjuman Jama Masjid in Gurgaon's Sector 57, a thriving corporate hub housing multinational companies.
The video has captured the hearts of many, with netizens expressing grief and admiration for Saad's message in the wake of his untimely demise.
The incident took place amidst communal tensions in the region, with clashes breaking out in the Nuh district of Haryana just a day before the mosque attack. The clashes resulted in the death of six individuals, including two home guards, and left several others injured.
Haryana DGP P.K. Agrawal confirmed that 116 people have been arrested so far in the case while 90 others are detained for questioning. He also added that an SIT has been formed to investigate the violence that gripped the Muslim-dominated Nuh and later spread in other parts of the state.

Sri Lanka confers Mithra Vibhushana award on PM Modi for strengthening bilateral ties
Colombo, Apr 5 (PTI): Sri Lanka on Saturday conferred its highest civilian award, the Mithra Vibhushana, on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in recognition of his role in strengthening the ties between the two countries.
The award was bestowed on Modi by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake at a ceremony held at the presidential secretariat.
"It is a matter of great pride for me to be awarded the 'Sri Lanka Mitra Vibhushana' by President Dissanayake. This award does not only honour me, but also honours 140 crore Indians," Modi said.
"It is a tribute to the historic ties and deep friendship between the people of India and Sri Lanka," he said.
The award was instituted in February 2008 by then Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa and its previous recipients include former Maldivian president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom and late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
At a media briefing, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said the award is a recognition of the role of the prime minister in strengthening and transforming the India-Sri Lanka partnership, especially the unprecedented assistance that New Delhi rendered to Colombo during the economic crisis a few years ago.
The recipient of the honour is awarded a citation and a silver medal to be worn around the neck, studded and adorned with nine types of Sri Lankan gems and the symbols of a lotus, globe, sun, moon and sheaves of rice.
The Dharma Chakra on the medal reflects the shared Buddhist heritage that has shaped the cultural traditions of both nations.
The Pun Kalasa or ceremonial pot adorned with sheaves of rice symbolises prosperity and renewal, according to an official.
The Navarathna or nine precious gems are depicted within a globe encircled by lotus petals.
Modi landed in Colombo last evening after concluding his trip to Bangkok where he attended a summit of the BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation).
It is a matter of immense pride for me to be conferred the 'Sri Lanka Mitra Vibhushana' by President Dissanayake today. This honour is not mine alone - it is a tribute to the 1.4 billion people of India. It symbolises the deep-rooted friendship and historic ties between the… pic.twitter.com/UBQyTMoJ27
