As I recited the supplications to end 1438H and welcome 1439H on 22 Sep 2017 as well as listened to the tadzkirah by Ustaz Ashraf, my mind instinctively wandered to time spent with my spiritual father. Subhana-Allah! The wonders of life, when one departs, another is welcomed into this dunya.
Ya Ustaz, I remembered how each year we celebrated your birthday (you preferred your Islamic birthday - a blessed month!). On 1 Muharram, with the birth of Baby Z (I'm so thankful she shares your birthdate - such barakah!), I pray that she will grow up to be Muslimah Solehah with that same compassion, fervour, honesty, and spirit (exemplary trademarks of yours) in Da'wah Islamiyyah that will please Allah Ta'ala, RasululLah SAW, his Ummah, including her parents and you, aamiin Ya Allah!
Till we meet again, yaa Ustaz... I miss you...
