Arifa Karim was a hero. She earned Microsoft certification at age 9 and became the youngest IT professional. She was a brilliant young teenager. She was honored by the government and President conferred Pride of Performance award.

She traveled far and wide to address conferences.She had a great future ahead of her, but she was plucked by the hand of death at a very young age. Our heart felt condolences to her family. May Allah rest her soul in peace and eternal tranquility.
