The 16-year-old student was described as a \u201cwell mannered\u201d with \u201cpotential\u201d and was laid to rest exactly a week after he was fatally stabbed in Sara Park, Herbert Road.<\/p>\n

Abdullah\u2019s friends, family and the community attended the solemn ceremony at Green Lane Mosque, in Small Heath, just before 1pm<\/p>\n

Kamran Hussain from the mosque- which has been supporting his family- said around 700 – 800 mourners had attended his funeral.<\/p>\n

Earlier, he said: \u201cAbdullah Muhammad was a student at Green Lane Mosque and Community Centre (GLMCC) where he had registered in January 2019 with his younger brother and father to attend evening classes in Green Lane’s educational Institute.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had only recently started attending classes for the new term where he was studying the memorisation of the Holy Qur\u2019an (Hifz).<\/p>\n

\u201cGLMCC has been truly saddened by the news and the needless loss of yet another young life on the streets of Birmingham.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers from the mosque and community centre including the Head of Education visited the family to pay their condolences on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe teachers commented on Abdullah being a very well-mannered young man with ambition and potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an immense loss for the family and we pray that Allah (God) grants them patience.\u201d<\/p>\n

A 15-year-old boy, who was assaulted, suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene.<\/p>\n

Deputy Chief Constable Louisa Rolfe said: \u201cWe\u2019ll be leaving no stone unturned to find those responsible and bring them to justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll see a very robust policing response that\u2018s sensitive to the fears and concerns of our local communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur thoughts remain with Abdullah\u2019s family, friends and the local community in Small Heath.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
