Isn't it gorgeous, Farida? Thanks for your
comment. Imran has a beautiful photoset of the Alhambra . I used to go back and marvel at it quite a
bit, and now that he's gone, I've found
myself scrolling through it again and again.
He left behind an inspiring legacy, in his
actions, writings, and photography.

This has to be one of the, no, it IS the
most touching memorial I have ever read. My
heart goes out to you and those that could
call Imran a friend. He sounds like an
extrodinary person, one who has obeyed God
and has done truely good work. You have done
well with this, very well.

If I may, No one can say exactly what paths
one leaves on this earth. May your friends
path be one of heart.

Yasmine,When I read your last post about
sharing grief, I kept thinking about what
sorrow have I seen? Seriously, I do not
remember anything in particular and I wanted
to write a long comment about how my mind
fogets (mostly) the sadder parts. But what I
did not know that your next picture will be
about THIS. 28 really is not an age to die.
He commented few times on my pictures and I
went through his profile couple of times but
When I read this, I was numb, to be precise.
May Allah rest his soul in peace, forever.
Also, may Allah give us strength and the
insight to see the good in people when they
are around us.
You have said it way better on your
weblog.Bless you my friend.

Yaz, I've sat here for the last half hour
reading your tribute to Imran and I've had
tears rolling down my cheeks by your tribute
and I've been laughing out loud too... such a
beautiful way you have with words my friend,
you have this rare quality to ease someones
pains with your soothing words, I hope
everyone who was close to Imran gets to read
your piece for him because it's the most
beautiful tribute anyone can ever write and
that too for someone they never met. I never
met Imran, so many times I was meant to but
then you always end up thinking 'next
time...' who is to know though there never
will be a next time. I remember the first
time Imran and I started exchanging e-mails
and I was just blown away by this kind,
compassionate man and I thought this is the
sort of guy I'd like to marry haha, we used
to talk on MSN about all things random and
then the more serious topics of life too and
I still have his last MSN conversation saved,
and I NEVER save MSN conversations and now
when I read it back, I know the significance
and how important it was he say the words he
said to me, symbolic almost, words of a man
who will never know what impact those words
will have on my life. I've not been able to
cry for him, I find death really difficult to
deal with anyways but such a sudden and
tragic death for someone who was so special
is even more difficult to accept. Your
tribute has moved me and has opened the
barrier of tears which I think I needed to
shed for him. I guess what this teaches is
that people will come and go in your life and
you will not even necessarily meet them but
they will touch your heart, soul and life and
next time that happens and that person wants
to meet, I will not think 'there is always
tomorrow', I'll grasp that moment there and
then and not let it go.
Thank you so much Yaz. Fi amanillah.
