The father of slain Muslim pizza delivery driver has made all Muslims proud across the globe as he forgives the man involved in his son’s death.
During the hearing on Tuesday, Abdul-Munim Sombat Jitmoud hugged the defendant, Trey Alexander Relford, who was sentenced to prison, for playing a part in the death of Salahuddin Jitmoud.
The father went on to embrace the killer, who cried as it happened. Jitmoud said he did it in the spirit of Islam.
“Islam teaches that God will not be able to forgive” someone until the person who was wronged forgives that person, said Jitmoud quoted CNN.
“The door of opportunity for God to forgive him is open. … So, reach out to Him. You have a new chapter of good life coming,” he told Relford in court.
Relford was sentenced to 31 years in prison after pleading guilty to complicity to murder, complicity to robbery, and attempted evidence tampering in the stabbing death of Jitmoud.
It is worth to inform, that in April 2015, Salahuddin Jitmoud was making his deliveries as a Pizza Hut delivery driver, when he was stabbed to death and robbed at an apartment complex in Lexington, Kentucky.
