Imam Imam was my good friend. A humble man, despite the many great things God allowed him achieve at an early age. What a sad loss. Even at a time he and I were in opposing camps, he continued to help me. May his soul Rest In Peace and May God grant his family succour.

In the final analysis, the question is, what’s all the struggle, rat race, in-fighting, superiority complex all about?

As you read this, a very gentleman full of life is gone. What makes you special?

Good night Sir Imam Imam

This Life!!!

Allahu akbar. Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un. A man defined by uncommon humility & impeccable personal conduct is gone. I learnt so much from Imam Imam as he was indeed a worthy ambassador of Islam, his profession& menfolk in general. May Allah grant him Jannah. Big loss.
