It’s the morning after Convention 2007. Those of us involved with it are exhausted but inspired. Looking forward to NEDians working together. We will be putting photos, videos, and updates here.
But Batch ‘87-88, particularly Computer Systems Engineering, is reeling from the loss of one of our own. The following email came in around 11:19 am, California time. I knew Irfan, from our class had been struggling with a chronic illness for years, but it was only after a phone from Raghib Hussain, a class mate of ours that I realized the email was about our classmate.
انّا للہ و انّا الیہی رجیعون
Asalamu Alykum dear brothers and sistes,
Irfan Ahmed (used to work at Cisco) has passed away last night.
Inna Lillahe wa inna Ilaihe Rajiun. May Allah Subhana wa Ta’la have mercy on him and give him Maghfirah and give patience to his relatives and friends.
Funeral prayer would be offered at Masjid Noor(Santa Clara) after Zuhur prayer today and will be taken to Livermore graveyard for burial afterwards.
Please make Dua for him and try to attend the funeral prayer and burial.
Wassalam,
