I wonder if those who attacked Junaid Jamshed with slippers at Islamabad airport feel sorry for their badtameezi now.

Unfortuantely, that azaan video is actually false
This video from YouTube user Schahzad Amin was uploaded on October 12, 2014. It is title “Beautiful Azaan by Junaid Jamshed during Hajj 2014” and it shows Junaid Jamshed doing the call to prayer with another famous religious figure, Tariq Jamil, sitting behind him.
We are not sure if there is an actual last azaan video, or if Junaid Jamshed gave a last call to prayer in Chitral but this one being shared on social media is definitely not it.
Here’s what people have said about Junaid Jamshed’s azaan, anyway
