 * You need to show a reliable source that testifies that Sabri's first name has been officially changed. BTW, you know perfectly well that "shaheed" here is not a name but a honorific, so your repeated changes to the article are disruptive. — kashmiri  TALK  09:16, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Shaheed Amjad Farid (Fareed) Sabri (23 December 1976 – 22 June 2016) was a Pakistani Qawwal Sufi. Son of Ghulam Farid Sabri of the Sabri Brothers, Amjad started his music carrer at the age of 12, performing alongside with his father. During his carrer, Sabri emerged as one of South Asia's most prominent qawwal's, often reciting qawwalis written by his father and uncle. Amjad was shot dead in a targeted killing claimed by a splinter group of the Pakistani Taliban who accused Sabri of blasphemy.

Career
Born on 23 December 1970, Amjad began learning qawwali music from his father at age nine and joined his father on stage to perform in 1988 at age 12. He from then on remained one of the most acclaimed qawwals on the Indian subcontinent and performed around the world.

Death
On 22 June 2016, Amjad Sabri was attacked by two armed motorcyclists when he was traveling in Liaquatabad Town. The motorcyclists opened fire at his car critically injuring Sabri, an associate and his driver. Sabri was shot twice in the head and once on the ear. The three men including Sabri were taken to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital. Sabri died shortly after.

Reaction
Many people reacted to his targeted killing through television and social media. Imran Khan tweeted: "Shocked at the murder of famous qawwal Amjad Sabri & his companions in Karachi. A complete failure of law & order & writ of the govt." Dr. Tahir ul-Qadri said: "I strongly condemn terrorist attack on Amjad Sabri. My heart goes out to the bereaved family." Fakhar-e-Alam said: "We played cricket together last Friday, he was always smiling ... a kind and gentle soul. I can't believe Amjad Sabri has been taken away from us". He also said that Amjad Sabri had submitted an application for protection as per his family but Home department did Nothing. News anchor Sana Bucha tweeted: "Deeply saddened by the gruesome murder of #AmjadSabri He was a great human being. U will be greatly missed Amjad Sb!"

According to Samaa TV, tens of thousands of people attended Sabri's funeral.

It was recently, that the legendary singer was in a controversy in India over copyright of their, 'Bhar doh Jholi' qawwali, in 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' sung by Adnan Sami, which was originally composed in 1975 by Maqbool Ahmed Sabri and performed together with his elder brother, Ghulam Farid Sabri of the Sabri Brothers.

Out line for students
A physicist discusses with physicist in a few words but he gives a comprehensive lecture to his students for their knowledge. Here EN-WP also serves as a virtual teacher. A number of local and foreign language students attempt to trace out material for their dissertations from Wikipedia, so page should be as much comprehensive to provide a good outline. Thus page needs comprehensive development for personal life of Amjad Sabri and his Sufi Kalam (poetry)singing. Nannadeem (talk) 06:08, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Feel free to add more information based on sources but paying attention to what Wikipedia is not. In particular, it is not a newspaper, an obituary or a student textbook and students should NEVER be encouraged to prepare their assignments based on Wikipedia. Students should always be instructed that a public Wiki cannot serve as source for academic work. — kashmiri  TALK  14:39, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Sabri before his murder
, I'm not sure why you would remove my edit—especially the first half, "after finishing a morning TV show". This half details what he was doing just before his murder, while the second half, "where his last song included the words “When I shudder in my dark tomb, dear Prophet, look after me”", notes a unique coincidence that he was singing about what he wants when he dies just befored he actually died. I don't think calling it trivia is correct. That is your own unfounded personal opinion. I think you would need the opinions of other editors before you remove content based upon your own unfounded, subjective opinion. --Mawlidman (talk) 10:23, 11 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Dear, what he sung that morning (and perhaps on many preceding days, while preparing for the recording) is utterly irrelevant to his murder. Same as what colour shirt he wore or what he had for breakfast. Even if it happened to be the same as his murderers. Please. Wikipedia is not a celebrity's diary. I also pointed you to WP:BRD several times, why don't you read it? — kashmiri  TALK  11:35, 11 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I understand that Wikipedia is not a celebrity's diary; my edit doesn't promote this. You think that mentioning what he sang is trivia; i think that what he sang is a notable coincidence and of value to the article. But i do agree that "what colour shirt he wore or what he had for breakfast" is irrelevant. --Mawlidman (talk) 02:30, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
