R.I.P Sleepless in Muscat

I was extremely shocked when I heard about the death of Ali Mehdi - also known as Sleepless in Muscat - from the Oman Community Blog. This is indeed sad news and I really don't know what to say...

I have worked with Sleepless in Muscat on both the Gonu Relief Blog and the Oman Community Blog. Moreover, I have had the chance to meet him in person a couple of times last summer. According to Muscati, Ali was lately admitted to hospital into the intensive care where he remained till his death. Ali passed away at a very early age (29 years old) and as far as I know, he's the only male among his siblings. My deepest condolences to Ali's family. May his soul rest in peace and may Allah grant him heaven...

Inna Lillah wa Inna ilayh Raji3oon... (To Allah we belong, and unto him we shall return).

Oh god, really? I am so sorry to hear this.
I never met the guy in person but have followed his Blog posts. He was a very bright and intelligent person.

Inna lillah wa inna ileyhi raje'un
