The 2025 Shuhada Roll carries the name of Major Hamza Israr Shaheed, an officer of the Pakistan Army who embraced shahadat in the line of duty. His name now stands among the martyrs the nation honored at the close of the year — a roll call of courage that this tribute records with pride and sorrow.
A Brave Son of Pakistan
Shahadat is the highest honor a soldier can attain, and on 29 January 2025 Major Hamza Israr attained it, embracing shahadat in the line of duty as an officer of the Pakistan Army. His name was recorded in the 2025 Shuhada Roll — the year-end honor roll that preserves the memory of every officer and soldier who fell during the year. The roll ensures his sacrifice is remembered not as a passing headline, but as part of the Army’s enduring legacy.
Remembering the Sacrifice
The first anniversary of Major Hamza Israr’s shahadat will be observed on 29 January, the same calendar date on which he fell. Each year his family, his comrades, and the nation will mark this day — visiting his resting place, reciting prayers for him, and remembering the officer who did not come home. In the Army’s tradition, a shahadat anniversary is not only mourning; it is a renewal of the promise that the sacrifice was not in vain.
The 2025 Shuhada Roll is more than a list of names; it is a covenant between the nation and its fallen. By reading Hamza Israr’s name and remembering his shahadat, Pakistan keeps that covenant alive for another year.
We salute Major Hamza Israr Shaheed, and through him every officer and soldier named in the 2025 Shuhada Roll. His sacrifice will be remembered each year on his shahadat anniversary, and the nation prays his family draws strength from the honor Pakistan accords its son. Pakistan will never forget.
