We asked for your responses - this is what you sent.
What is your response?Such a wonderful and cheerful young man. Always showed respect to all colleagues. Will be sorely missed by family friends and anyone he touched through his personality. May he rest in peace inshallah
What is your response?Junayd Harris a well known person of Bradford. I can't believe he died in such a terrible way. May you rest peacefully my friend.
What is your response?SubhaanAllah The most beautiful Janazah I have experienced, a testament to the amazing character of Junayd and how his love and charisma affected everyone that knew him. A truly beautiful genuine brother that has left us with exemplary actions and behaviour of how we can become better Muslims. May Allah swt place my little brother, Junayd, amongst those in the gardens of Jannatul Firdous. I will miss (to name a few) talking to him about Muhammad Ali, picking him up for football and praying together in the Masjid; as these were my regular interactions with him. He called me ‘Sadek bhai’ and always showed me immense LOVE and RESPECT, and this is NO DOUBT a CREDIT to his parents (Sassa & Sassi 💚) who have LOVED, NURTURED, EDUCATED, DISCIPLINED and raised Junayd & Fatima as righteous and prosperous Muslims. May Junayd continue to receive reward in the hereafter through the on going sadaqah jaria in his name. Ameen
What is your response?May Allah swt grant you the highest ranks in jannat brother Junayd. My dua's are with you and always will be and for you family. May Allah swt give Uncle Harris's family sabr and make this difficult time easy for all friends and family.
What is your response?It is sad and shocking to hear that he has left this world. I pray that Allah paak gives him the highest rank in Jannah Firdous, Ameen. He attended same school as me and will always be in my prayers. Gone but never forgotten :( condolences to the family. Junayd Haris, gone but never forgotten.
What is your response?Junayd you showed me what a brother in Islam is meant to do and my heart couldn’t be more grateful. The last time I seen you you walked me through town because it was dark and eventhough we hadn’t spoke in a long time.. you asked me how I was doing and that it was good I had a smile on my face. I will never forget your character your smile your face. I know every single person you touched will miss you. To our Lord we returnðŸ™ðŸ» May allah (swt) grant you the highest ranks of Jannah Ameen
What is your response?Amazing cousin to me, couldn't have asked for a more jolly person. Always lighting up the room, and making everyone smile. May Allah grant you a high rank in Jannah, and make the after-life easy for you. Ameen.
What is your response?I knew of Junayd and he knew a lot of people close to me, Inshallah Allah grants him the highest ranks of Jannah and grants his family sabr in this tough time. Prayers are always with him and the rest of the boys and the families, iA one day we will all meet again xxx
What is your response?RIP Bro. You are being missed. May Allah give you the highest rank in Jannah. â¤ï¸
What is your response?It was Heartbreaking to hear those reassuring words from Ridhwan (Rej); although l am sure he is needing comfort and prayers at this sad time. He held himself together to reassure family and friends. So brave and composed. There are so many positive things l have read about Junayd and his conduct with others that should bring pride to his parents. Some things are not in our hands and life and death are destined, so His time had come (too soon) and there's nothing anyone could have done to stop the inevitable. May God comfort Rej and his family and take care of Junayd and grant him a place in HeavenðŸ™

What is your response?Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihir-raji'un! You were a gem of a person my brother. I never had a younger brother until I met you.

What is your response?I didn't know you personally but I knew your father who was a close friend of my brother. After hearing about the crash on Wednesday night, I poured my heart out to Allah and prayed that you would get better. I guess it wasn't meant to be and on Sunday I learnt that you had passed away. I felt my heart break upon hearing this news and felt numb initially, but I know that Allah is the best of planners and He does things according to His will even though sometimes we may not understand this. Thousands of us may not have known you personally but because of this tragedy, many have been touched by you because of the tragic circumstances that surrounded your death in ways that cannot be imagined. I just feel grateful that Allah has caused me and thousands of others to remember you in name in every prayer and each and every du'a, and pray that this will be a means of your position and status being elevated in the next life. May Allah give your parents sabran jamila in this very difficult period of time and know that our du'as and prayers will always be with you and your family. May Allah have mercy on you.

What is your response?O Allah, protect him from the torment of the grave.(1)O Allah, make him a precursor, a forerunner and a treasure for his parents and an answered intercessor. O Allah, make him weigh heavily in their scales (of good) and magnify their reward. Make him join the righteous of the believers. Place him in the care of Ibrahim. Save him by Your mercy from the torment of Hell. Give him a home better than his home and a family better than his family. O Allah, forgive those who have gone before us, our children lost (by death), and those who have preceded us in FaithðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
What is your response?A kind hearted and pure soul. Everyone who knows him will say that he was always making people laugh, never ever causing anyone trouble. A unique and caring character that only comes around once in a lifetime. Never had a bad word to say about anyone, all he did was make others happy. A boisterous, larger than life young man. He will be truly missed forever by everyone in the community. May Allah rest his soul and give him eternal peace. In sha Allah he is granted the highest ranks in Jannat-al-Firdous. May Allah grant his family sabr and strength during his extremely hard time. He comes from a very good family, may Allah bless them always. May we all be reunited with our brother in the afterlife. Always praying for you.
