"I had the pleasure of meeting Sidi Abdul-Hayy at ISNA back in 2005. I had reached out to him to do an interview for my radio show on MeccaOne. We ended up hanging out that whole weekend! We kept in touch online through email and on iChat through the years. I introduced him to Youtube and helped him launch a channel showcasing his poetry and I’m so glad he did!

"A true gentle soul with a heart of gold. He will be missed. May Allah (swt) grant him the highest level of Jannah. Ameen."

Omair Ali
