I met Imam Irshad Ali several times, and each time he imparted some uplifting advice. I had the honour of his company during Hajj nearly 20 years ago, and he was a source of of inspiration to the group. He was conscious of hardships faced by others, and strived to alleviate them. He constantly encouraged us to see everything in a positive light. I thank God for the upliftment to people's hearts He provided through Imam Irshad and through the Imam's family. I pray that He grants him Paradise, and grants strength and comfort to his family.
