Let's pray as one for the victims and their families

I AM stunned by the tragic news of the Malaysian Airlines MH17 flight, which was shot down over Ukraine on Thursday.

As an imam with friends around the world, especially in Malaysia, I ask that we pray together that God, in this blessed month of Ramadan, may forgive their souls and admit them into His Paradise, as the Prophet Muhammad taught us, is what would happen to victims of such tragic accidents.
