Doctor Abdus Salam

Doctor Abdus Salam was a theoretical physicist and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979 for his contributions to the electroweak interaction theory. Doctor Abdus Salam was the first Pakistani and the first Muslim to win a Nobel Prize.
Doctor Abdus Salam played a major role in the development of Project 706. Doctor Abdus Salam believed in the importance of nuclear technology in Pakistan for peaceful purposes. In 1972 Abdus Salam has travelled to the United States and had returned to Pakistan with scientific information about the Manhattan Project and calculations involving the atomic bombs.
1926 - 1996 (aged: 70)

More on Abdus Salam's electroweak interaction theory:
According to modern physics, four fundamental forces exist in nature. Electromagnetic interaction is one of these. The weak interaction - responsible, for example, for the beta decay of nuclei - is another. Thanks to contributions made by Abdus Salam, Sheldon Glashow,and Steven Weinberg in 1968, these two interactions were unified to one single, called electroweak. The theory predicted, for example, that weak interaction manifests itself in "neutral weak currents" when certain elementary particles interact. This was later confirmed.​

Fauj only knows two religions and sects. Shaheed and Ghazi.

What my friend @Sher Shah Awan is pointing out is that despite being discrimination on religion belives in the country, for example Sunni, Shia, Christian, Hindu, Jewish are all allowed to be the next PM of Pakistan however Ahmadi Muslims are not allowed to be PM, President or even vote for this matter however the army does not discriminate no matter what religion, creed or cast.

Thought I'll add my cousin here.
I was 4 when he passed away. But my mother tell me how he used to say he wants me in Air Force and tells me stuff like never compromise on two things; your family and your country.
Meet Sq. Ldr. Abdurrab. He martyred in Muhsaf Ali Mir crash in 2003. He was supposed to be married a week after his crash. He crashed near his own village in Kohat, where his fiancée lived too.

A picture would be nice alongside a little background story, when did he pass Long Course, where he was born, what aircraft was he flying.
I'm sorry for your loss and I thank your cousin for his service.
