It is reported that for earning merit for the soul of Abdul Rashid, the murderer of Swami Shradhanand, in the next world, the students and professors of the famous theological college at Deoband finished five complete recitations of the Koran and had planned to finish daily a lakh and a quarter recitations of Koranic verses. Their prayer was ‘God Almighty may give the marhoom (martyr i.e. Rashid) a place in the “ala-e-illeeyeen” (the summit of the seventh heaven)’.
