SHERPUR, Feb 1, 2026 (BSS) - Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman paid a solemn tribute to the late Hafiz Maulana Rezaul Karim, who was killed in a clash between BNP and Jamaat on January 28, by visiting his grave and meeting with his family today in Sherpur district.

Dr. Rahman arrived in Sherpur at 9:00am via a private helicopter from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) in the city. Upon arrival, he proceeded directly to the home of the martyr's family in the Shreebordhi upazila.
 
During his visit, Dr. Rahman offered his heartfelt condolences, inquired about the family's well-being, and provided words of comfort, praying to Allah for patience and strength during this difficult time.

In a poignant moment, Dr. Rahman lifted the three-year-old daughter of the late Hafiz Maulana Rezaul Karim in his arms, visibly moved by the child's innocence. 

Following this, Dr. Rahman, accompanied by Jamaat-e-Islami leaders and activists, visited the martyr's grave. The group offered prayers for the forgiveness of Maulana Rezaul Karim's soul and sought divine acceptance for his martyrdom.
