The NYT is reporting that a fellow student who survived the massacre said that Waleed had saved his life.
salam… yes Baybers, we have changed our entry from Muslim brother to Muslim hero… he was indeed an example for all of us.
inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun
may Allah have mercy on his soul and grant him the highest level of jannah and grant his family patience in this time.
No one remembered or talked about how he was brave and saved some students life ..
May Allah rest him with peace. amen
Can you pls consider adding a tid-bit to your blog about this… we want to get as many ppl to pay their tribute as possible so this can be a memorial that the family can treasure inshallah…waslam
