Assad Ahmed — Forever in Our Hearts
Assad had a heart of gold. His kindness knew no bounds, and his smile could light up any room. He made everyone feel welcome and deeply loved.
Manu was more than a friend — he was family. His laughter was infectious, and his loyalty was unmatched. We carry his memory in our hearts forever.
He had an incredible ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Assad's legacy is the love and joy he spread wherever he went.
A moment more and I'd tell you how much I love you dear son.
Assad a name for my lion, your virtues many and a warrior whose strength made my day.
A mother's heart was content, and you made life easier being man of the house.
No more do I see the light of the day; the night drags and droopy eyes beg for sleep.
A moment more and I'd hug you and tell you how much I love you dear brother.
I cry and lament your youthful life cut short, you a noble soul who silently bore the pain of life, and even torture of the last breath never appeared on your beautiful face.
Darling brother, I would pay a king's ransom to have you back and I'd not let you out of my sight.
Friends are many but you were a rough diamond which we discovered, a solitary figure, coolest gent in the neighbourhood.
A great travel companion on a two lions' journey (Assad and Humza the best there are.)
Suddenly time halts when you dear dost leave for another World. A sign reads no return!
Many weep, empty streets, no light in your window.
Finally, you rest and all is at peace though tears spill and grief takes hold.
We visit your final abode, and a beautiful wind touches my face as we pray that in Allah subhanatallah's realms you are in the highest heavens.
Cause you deserve a palace, eternal nectar that quenches and rivers that flow like the true love you shared and gave in abundance.
Until we meet again!!!
Every contribution, no matter how small, helps carry Assad's compassion forward. Together, we honour his memory through action.
