today would've been shamim's 30th birthday. unfortunately he passed away about a year and a half ago, after an epileptic seizure. he was a wonderful guy, that always made sure everyone was well and happy. you never had a dull time with him, a joke here, some seriousness there... it was always great.
I remember him specifically from one of our youth conferences here in sweden, in the summer of 2003, when he was literally helping out with anything and everything, even though he wasn't one of the organizers. and he did it cheerfully, without even saying a single word about it. he was always there to help.
we have made it a tradition to meet up on the day of his birthday and say a few prayers for the progress of his soul. we know he's happy and well up there, and hope that he's thinking of us too :)
here's a picture taken almost three years ago:
"... the soul, after its separation from the body, will continue to progress until it attaineth the presence of God..."
