Suffering from a rare disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) for the past twenty six years, doctors had told he would live for few years but death gave him time. Laying on the bed with only one finger moving he typed on his Phone with just the little strength in writing books. Hafiz wrote three books– Silent Struggle and Moments Of Merriment (Stories of children ) and another – his third book Silent Thoughts. This sounds interesting, unbelievable yet inspiring .isn’t it… This amazing young man, who was God-conscious, persevering, and who never gave up amidst life’s hard struggles. The story certainly lifted many distressed hearts, raised eyebrows and provided many motivational lessons and healing touch of renewed faith particularly to thousands if not millions, of youth both in Sri Lanka and even beyond, who may be losing hope in a gloomy world with depleting opportunities for them to forge ahead. Irfan sadly lost his long battle with the disease and passed away very peacefully at the age of 37, having answered the Call from His Creator, leaving his fast-expanding fan and admirer network in deep grief and extreme sadness. To God we belong; to him shall we Return. Irfan, who has left an indelible mark in the annals of time, by surmounting many obstacles to reach an enviable pinnacle of achievement in the area of authorship and writing, of Himalayan proportions.
