The death of an Outstanding Blogger

I would like to pay my respects to one of Oman's best Blogger, Sleepless In Muscat and also known as Ali Al-Mehdi, who has passed on a few days back. and was only 29 years old.
Sleepless In Muscat was the owner of his Blog, sleeplessinmuscat.blogspot.com. Personally, I didn't know the guy and never met him. I used to read his posts on OmanCommunityBlog from time to time and that was the farthest I've ever known him. But he has been on the Omani Blogging scene for some time and based on the little posts which I read of his, he seemed like an amazing and intelligent person.
Indeed this is a lose to Oman and to the Blogging world. I wish him the highest of mercy from god and wish his family all the best.

Here are a few Blogs that spoke about Sleepless In Muscat's death. You may get a better idea of the kind of person that he was by going through them. Link, Link, Link and Link.

Bobby: So true. It gives me the chills.

Abdullah: He will. I just wish I had the chance to get to know him better.

I still can't get over the shock. He's already missed...

Indeed he'll always be remembered.

May Allah forgive his sins and grant him heaven.
