I have tears in my eyes. I just saw a blog written by my cousin Latifa who lives in Nairobi and I couldnt stop these tears from falling . Especially when I reached this part Despite the sadness and misery that al-marhum Professor left us with, he left behind a great deal of lessons too. He was a man who had a joke ready to crack to light up the mood. He had an almost permanent smile that shone with a magnificent brilliance. He gave and gave like there was no tomorrow. He gave in every way he could: his stories, his jokes, his laughter, his words. He shared a part of him with everyone through his poetry. And one can sure conclude that his artistry surely brought justice to the Swahili language. He casually jokd about his death in a way that amazed people yet sustained his comfort; it now makes sense that he long gave up the life of this world. Nothing was ever too big a deal – lisojaaliwa nakuwa haliwi, shukuruni silie ndicho kilimwengu. Recalling what he shared about death, he always said|: siku yangu ikifika, ya kifo niloekewa, kufariki sina shaka, na siku hiyo ikiwa, hapatazidi dakika, wala haitopunguwa, kifo ni ndiya ya haki, hakuna wa kusaliya. Please allow me to share it with you. Click the link below to read it all, Juma Kareem - May Allah have mercy to all our loved ones who have departed us ummah.co.ke/insights/maktub
