On January 12, 2011 a bright and beautiful spark left us. Kirran Shoaib passed away after battling colon cancer for the past 3 years. In the end, it overcame her but her strength still prevails in the hearts of her family, friends and community. Her father, Shoaib Alam, had passed away only two weeks earlier.
I haven't ever met this girl, but truths of her warm heart and beautiful character spread like wildfire across the Muslim Community in the GTA in the final weeks of her struggle. I wish I had gotten to know her better, seen her suceed in school and excel in extracurricular activities. Had experienced first hand the promise that she held in her heart for a bright future.
So I, like so many others, was broken hearted when I listened to her story. How she has left behind 5 siblings and a mother left to care for them on her own. Their strength through such a difficult tight is a tough test from Allah, and mashAllah- we all can learn a valuable lesson in patience and strength from the Shoaib family.
May Allah wrap Kirran and her father in an endless mercy and give them the highest place in heaven and give them the best company in the afterlife. Ameen.
Please remember her and her family in your du'as. They really need it at this time. If you can do anything to contribute financially to Kirrans mother and five siblings, please go to
