I had not the privilege to be blessed to meet Baraka in person but felt I knew her from the conversations over the years of her illness with her father, Iqbal Khan, who is a dear friend. Baraka was bright and had an engaging personality that touched the lives of those who came in contact with her and will be missed by all of them and more. One can pray that Allah Almighty will provide a special place for her and that the memories of the wonderful times her friends and family got to share with her will resonate forever.
