In his last letter to his parents Mubariz wrote: 'Letter to my Father and mother

My Beloved mother and Father don't miss for me. Inshallah we'll meet in Paradise. Do a lot of dua for me. My heart can't stay quiet in hard day of my country. I have to do it for sake of Allah. May be by that my heart could get cool. INSHALLAH I WILL GO TO THE DISHONOURS UNTILL I WILL BECOME SHAHID. Don't cry if i will be shahid, be happy that i have rised to shahid level. Pray to Allah everytime and do these in time, do many charity.

I have to do that as seyyid grandboy. Allah is Great. Thanks to Homeland!

Your son Mubariz'
