New York: The Place to Be
To Mohammad Sallahuddin Chowdhury, 38, of Queens, New York was the place to succeed — especially if you were confident, smart and very good-looking.
He was supporting his pregnant wife and 6- year-old daughter by serving banquets at Windows on the World, but that was only temporary. He had a master's degree in physics from Bangladesh, where he grew up, and had studied real estate and computer science in this country. After a few doleful years in Baltimore, he was determined to stay in New York. He knew something good would come up.
Meanwhile, he had a new baby to look forward to. It was due in September.
"If it's a boy," he told Baraheen Ashrafi, his wife, "we'll have a perfect family." On Sept. 13, Farqad Chowdhury was born — 8 pounds 10 ounces, with deep black eyes like his father's. "Very expressive," said Mrs. Ashrafi. "Eyes, like he's trying to tell me something."

I read an obit on here every day and the ones that really hit hard are the ones like Mohammad who were so young, had young children (and even children on the way). I pray for comfort for his family and vow that we will never forget this sad day in American history. Much love from Texas,

I was in Manhattan in the 10th grade during first period of Geometry class when 9/11 took place. After the memorial was built I had to go visit and say a prayer for all of the victims and mentally relive that day. As I look up I see your name..."Mohammed Salahuddin Chowdhury." My immediate reaction was he has a Muslim name like me- I wonder what his story is (Only Allah knows best). Reading this article brought tears to my eyes upon learning your story of your wife being pregnant at the time,...

May your children be a connection to their father, and may they grow to become a beacon of who he was.

Death, be not proud
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost...
