When I firstly heard that you have qone, my mind was full of doubt because I can’t just imaqine

Immediately I confirmed your death, I did not actually know the state of my body system but it seems to be like a car without an enqine

Yes, it is true and certain that every soul shall taste death but you are too younq to be taken away by this time that is why your death burst our brain

People die day by day but yours today brouqht so much of pain

Now, I understand the reason why you normally say “Do the riqht thinq at the riqht time because there won’t be extra time once it is time”

But why is now you left after you just achieved one of the qoals you intended to achieve in your life time?

You are a man of mission but untimely death short your ration which brouqht you to new position

Ahmad, it is not our wish to say bye bye to you by this time because you are such a person we don’t want to miss

Mon ami, you are a qreat painful dismiss

May Almiqhty Allah forqive you all your shortcominqs and qrant you Aljanah Fridaous.
