Just something truly form my heart!

Heart felt condolences to Curtly bhai's family, foremost his mum my Faiji, his wife and 2 loving kids and all of his friends! Especially Mustafa!

The year he got married was the year I came to know I had so many cousins in Karachi.I helped out with his marriage preparations as much as I could and It was the first wedding ever, I had witnessed of a maternal cousin.He is a fun loving guy. At the center of lime light always. He is so full of compassion to help others around him. That's what his Alma matter consisted of.The driving desire to help people out in distress and earn their respect in return. And nothing else!
Huz bhai is the one I called Mamu to tease him. He is the example of the fact, that if you truly love someone and if they are meant for you no matter what, they'll be united. Whatever the circumstances. He'd also add that your love for them should be true and they should be meant for you. And if that doesn't happen he'd say "they were not meant for you." His logic was simple but so true in it's essence.
Little did I know, what fate had in store for him.Tamne bewe Maula (tus) ni shafa'at naseeb kare. Ameen.

Please feel free to add your comments and pictures to remember him below.

My friend Huzeifa "Curtly" was shot and killed in Karachi, Pakistan while taking his six year old daughter to buy a pet to share with her friends at an upcoming pet show at her school. Despite being shot mercilessly in the head with no chances for recovery, his heart continued to beat and he continued to breathe on his own for almost a day after being removed from the ventilator. I truly believe that even as he lay in that hospital yesterday he strove to give his friends and family hope in a time of despair. That was something he did his entire life... he helped us, let us know he was there, and always tried to give us hope. He always did more for me than I ever did for him. He made so many moments in my life more special because he would go that extra mile to make sure everything was in order. He was always there when you needed him. I never got to say thank you; I never got to say goodbye. He never asked to be rewarded nor did he ever expect anything in return. Perhaps he was a kindred spirit for all that knew him. I think everyone will agree and have their own similar experiences. Of course we will miss him and of course we will remember him, but we will never feel complete without him. Khuda tamne bewe Moula TUS ni shafaat naseeb karjo!

Huzefabhai was one person who can always make you smile! He has touched the hearts of many with his kind gestures and his smile! He was always been there for me when needed the most, he always made me smile when in sorrow. Will truly deeply miss him. May he recieve the shafaat of Panjataan Paak aimaat and Duat Mutlaqeen Khasaatan Bewe Moula TUS. And may everyone in his family get sabr.

No words can express the grief and sorrow caused by this tragedy to one of the most beloved, caring person I knew by his loving nick name "curtlybhai". I am not from Jamea but I knew him as a very supportive, helpful person for my son M.Shakir and daughter Tasneem. He was like a family member for us. Whenever I visited Karachi, Huzefa would take time and make an effort to meet me and would help me with anything I needed help for. My heart aches just to think he's no longer in this world. I can imagine the feelings of all from Jamea who knew him on this devastating news. We all have fond memories of him. It brings tears when I think of what his family, his wife and two little daughters, are going thru. May Allah Taala give them sabr e jameel and himmat. Huzefabhai ne Panjatan Pak (AS), Aimmat Taherin, Duatul Mutlaqeen, Hoodood Fozola and hamara pyara bewe Mola (TUS) ni shafaat ata karjo ane Jannat e Firdaus maa aala daraja ma wasawjo. Ameen.

And I also learnt this talent from him and used to do the same with him !!! He helped me in times when everybody turned their backs on me.. He was an idol !! Truly..an idol

He was a man who.was strong in hardest of times... N he helped them n expected nothing in return. My relation with him was close. He teased me whenever we met by which I felt bad.. But now when he is no longer there.. I am heart broken .. I remember all the moments spent with him n tears just fall from my eyes when someone talks about him.. Still can't believe he is no more .. I cant imagine the.pain his family is going through.. Will miss him alot n I request everyone to pray for him.. N ene bewe Moula tus ni shafaat naseeb kare (ameen) n ena family ne sabr ape.

Curtly Bhai.....truly the great guy and what an unexpected demise. I was his colleague in Jamea saifiyah. We used to sit in same office and now can't even believe that he won't come and sit on the chair. What a fun loving caring and jolly person he was. He went away with trembling memories in our hearts. Rest in peace.

I had met him briefly at my brother wedding and I remembered him as he was always joking. When I heard that a bhai had been shot in Karachi I was shocked but when I came across his picture the next day I was numb I immediately called up my brother and asked him if the bhai who had been shot was his friend and he said yes. Even though our meeting were for a few days he left a impact on me.I heard a lot of good thing about him from my brother. He definitely must have been a very good human seeing such outpour of sorrow from friends and strangers.

Always had a cheerful thing about him and always used to greet with a smile and respect. My heart goes out with the unimaginable loss of his family.

Curtly...maro dost, maro bhai...I am left with a million memories, but also a million more things that I want to say. Nothing feels like it would be appropriate though. Nothing feels like it would be enough. But thats just me. You're the kind of guy that nothing needs to be said at all, and you just get it. You just know. You understand. And then you would make me understand. How do you qualify that kind of connection…that kind of human being? But you certainly have it. And I am so grateful to you Curtly.
13 years ago when I left Jamea we promised each other we would meet at least once a year. It took more than 10 years for us to finally meet after that. But each time we talked, as few as those times seem now, it was as if we had never been apart. But hawe, aa firaqi ghani bhari che bhai. Even then, you will always and forever be with me curtly. You are the brother I never had, and I love you as such.
When we last spoke, I asked you about the halaat of karachi...of the targeting. Your words were "Halat nu su karwo che yaar its like this nd we can't stop living" - You werent afraid. You lived your life, and you were happy. You made everyone around you happy. You were taken from us much too early. Much too suddenly. Much too violently. But the one thing that I am certain of is that you will, even now, continue to bring smiles to everyone’s faces. You have left us with memories which will undoubtedly bring happiness. But those smiles will always be accompanied by tears of loss. You are loved so much by so many, and I can think of no better mark of how great a man you are.
To your family – Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your son, your husband, your father, your brother with us. We are infinitely better for knowing him. Khuda tamne sagla ne bewe Moula na wasila si sabar aape.
Huzeifa, Khuda tane har khair ni jaza aape. Har bhalai nu ajar aape. Tari be maasoom dikrio ma taari har ummid puri kare. Bewe Moula ni shafa’at naseeb kare, ane jannat ma aala darajah ma wasaawe…im gonna miss you man.

Rashida Hameed said...

Huzeifa- I keep asking myself "why you"??
You were so full of life and always had a smile on your face..and made everyone around you smile!
I was in sabea when you found out my mum was sick,you and Fareedah took me to pizza hut and brought me this huge bouquet of flowers!! You would go out of your way to cheer up someone! How did you do that? How did you care for soo many people at the same time??
If there was a time machine I would want to go back in time and Thank you for always being there!!! You will always be remembered!
We pray for your family and your sweet little girls...Moula na wasila si Khuda sagla ne sabar ape ane tamne bewe Moula ni shafa'at naseeb kare.

It is hard to know what to say
he was just such a "memory bank" for our family so i just tried to paint a picture of those
special times we shared that and want other people to know about.

i miss Huzaifa kaka sooo much..
he was always there for me in awl ma little little things..

like ma recent trip to India..
he was the one who helped me for the munabao route..
he came at ma place and explained each and every thing to me..
then we had to go to ahmedabad as well.. he gave his friends number there and told him to arrange each and every thingg for us..
den every single thing step by step he arranged for me,
and who knew it he wont be there with us..
I soo miss the way he used to call me "Kareena"
and now there is noone to call me from this name..
and whenever, whoever goes to his place he always used to welcome them with a great smile.. :)
i remeber his masti..
the fun n masti he had at haidermota's picnic..
I still remember the smile on his face..
He was full of life.
a happy go lucky person.
he was just amazing..

but u know Dying is like coming to the end of a long novel and you only regret it
if the ride was enjoyable and left you wanting more..

Huzaifa Kaka u'll be missed.. :(

A golden heart stopped beating..
but ur golden memories never leaving..
ur family and friends left cherishing..
what a full of life and personality being!..

Time comes for everyone to finally leave..
but with u it was a little soon I believe..
But Allah chose (U)one of the best alive..
and always plans the best, from my perspective..

May he grant the ultimate sabr..
to the wife, mother and sister..
father, brother, and his friends all-over..
and may his loveliest girls have the best ever..

We'll not see ur smile anymore, the thought hurts..
But wherever u r, I'm sure ur still winning hearts..

With bewe moulas aala wasila and doah..
May ur selfless khidmat grant u the gift of jannah..
