INNA LILLA HAY WA INNA ILLEHEY RAJAYOON.
It is with immense grief and deep sadness that we have come to know about the passing away of Haji Abdul Razzaq Yaqoob, founder of ARY Group.
From Almighty God we come and to HIM we all have to return one day, sooner or later. Successful are only those in this mortal life and transient world who have spent their lives in-line with the teachings of the Holy Quran and the Great Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
May God Almighty accord the departed soul of Haji Abdul Razzaq Yaqoob peace and solace in the Jannatual Firdous and grant all of his bereaved family, friends, relatives, peers, pals, associates, classmates, colleagues, fans, community, tribe, neighborhood and clan members the courage and fortitude to bear this irreparable loss. Aameen, Tsum Aameen.

may God rest his soul in eternal peace.
i will give credit to this great Pakistani by saying that he had a great vision to bring his country on the map through a vibrant and successful media. ARY Group was indeed instrumental in projecting Pakistan in a positive light in the UK, ME, NA and India.
may his legacy bring even more success to the nation.

We pray for this great man and a great Pakistani. Knowing his character we had complete trust that what ever was aired on ARY was true and in Pakistan's interest. Cannot be said the same for the other channels.
