    This man and his other 3 sons were in the same group as me in Hajj 2018. I couldn’t stop observing them through out our trip wondering what kind of personality or characteristics do a person have who have a heart that can forgive such a crime…. I want to be that kind a person. 22 days I observe them and compare them with others. They were different, even though they were the most simplest of all, minding their own business, didnt speak a lot, helped others without being asked or told, never complained. the st.louis group was group of teachers of his school they loved him for the sake of Allah. And I felt they love him because Allah loves him. They were just like us but soo much more that I can’t explain. It is soo good to hear this directly from him. It helped me understand soo much. JazakAllah khair. May Allah reunite him and his family with his son in jannat ul firdous al Alaa.

    Comment From his student: "You've been all over, Sheikh! I didn't know you were the principal in Massachusetts too. You were a good principal, I remember from my childhood, I was only age 6 when we met! You upped me a grade; because I kept getting in trouble, you said I was too smart, so bored in class. I ended up going to college at 16 🙂 جزاك الله خيرا"

    I saw the court footage & I remember being profoundly moved when he said "I forgive you, I blame the devil for misguiding you". And when he hugged his son's murderer, and the murderer broke down crying, I don't think there was a single dry eye in the court room.

    If the Muslims nowadays act with this mindset of forgiving others, our situation around the world would be much better than it is now. There's so much selfishness (me, me and me). May Allah make us amongst those who forgive so He can forgive us on the Day of Judgement. Ameen

    May Allah reunite him with his son and all loved ones in Jannatul Firdaus, (after a very long healthy life, and after many Muslims benefit from his teachings and Akhlaq).
    It makes me so happy to see so many amazing people in history and today, on my screen, and be able to call them all my brothers/sisters in Islam.
    Alhamdulillah.
