Muhammad Shahjahan

Muhammad Shahjahan, originally uploaded by rdpaul.

This is my very good friend and brother, Muhammad Shahjahan, who passed away on September 11, 2001. He worked in No. 1 World Trade Center on the 95th floor. That floor was hit first in the terrorist attacks. This picture was taken on March 11, 2001, exactly six months before he left this world. In the original picture, he was sitting next to his brother, Farooqi Salimullah. People returning from the Hajj were being welcomed with a small dinner get-together in the mosque in Chestnut Ridge.
