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.
