“Waseem was excellent at school and at memorizing the Quran; he had memorized 18 chapters. He would fast certain days every month,” his mother said. He was said to be obedient and kind, and helpful to his sister. He was a very smiley young man. He liked reading and was a good speaker. He spent most of his time in the mosque.

His ambition was to be an engineer, which is what his mother wished for him.
