Friends are shocked at this killing. They describe Abdul as a very good man. He had been robbed 5 or 6 times before. He always gave up the money. There was no reason to kill him.

Other friends stated that Abdul would always help people out. Many times he gave food to people who were destitute.

Abdul is survived by many loving friends and relatives. 

God save us from the thieves who steal away our money and then our lives. Amen.
