Qasim was very close to one of his Sunday school teachers. He had a lot of respect for her, and would sometimes even quote her! She was very influential in his life, especially the last two years. She was kind enough to share a few writings of Qasims that she had. Today I wanted to share an email he had sent her on Thursday, November 26,2009, his last Thanksgiving Day. You know, the funny thing about Q was that he would do or say things to others and wouldn't even tell us! That was Qasim...
ASA Fatima Bahji!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! I would like to take this time to thank you for everything that you have helped me with over the last year and a half or so. I greatly enjoy your advice and hope to continue getting it! Inshallah I will see you Saturday morning for Eid prayers. Have fun today and if you're traveling, please be safe!

What a generous, dear boy he was! So giving of his loving heart. Wonderful to have his words still giving to us now. xoxo
