Lessons from the Death of the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, His Eminence Shaykh Abdul Aziz ibn Abdullah Al Al-Shaykh

The news of the passing of one of the most prominent scholars of our time, the Grand Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has struck the Muslim world deeply. Until his death, he served as a guiding light of knowledge and a beacon of the Sunnah.

From his death, we can take several lessons, beautifully highlighted in Ashaykh Dr Sharoffuddeen Gbadebo Raji and Ashaykh Professor Abdrasaq Alaro’s tributes to him:


1. Death is inevitable. Just days ago, when we mentioned him, we would say “ḥafiẓahullāh” (may Allah preserve him). Now, we say “raḥimahullāh” (may Allah have mercy on him). Death changes everything in an instant. Indeed, it can strike any of us at any time. The question remains: are we preparing for it?

2. Attachment to the Qur’an. Shaykh Abdul Aziz used to complete the recitation of the entire Qur’an every three days. Subḥānallāh! How many of us have not even completed the Qur’an once in three years? His dedication should remind us of the endless blessings of reciting and reflecting upon Allah’s Book.


3. Accessibility and humility despite authority. Despite being blind, the Shaykh discharged his responsibilities with full dedication. He was humble, approachable, and hospitable. Dr. Sharafudeen Gbadebo Raji narrated how, when he and a friend visited him in his office around 2004, the Shaykh received them warmly, addressed them by their names in friendly manner, gave them several valuable books, and even took down their contact numbers. This is a powerful lesson for all in positions of authority: leadership is about service, humility, and accessibility not arrogance.

4. Respecting other scholars even with differences. For roughly thirty years, Shaykh Abdul Aziz was the one who delivered the khutbah on the Day of ‘Arafah, meaning he performed Hajj every year. On many occasions, he made the intention to perform Hajj or ‘Umrah on behalf of deceased scholars not only those he admired, but even those he differed with in opinion. This is a profound lesson: intellectual disagreement should never erase the bond of brotherhood. We remain one Ummah, tied by faith and mutual respect.


Shaykh Abdul Aziz is no more, and like all of us, he will be judged based on his deeds. What remains are the good works he left behind and the countless lives he touched.

Let us reflect: What will people say about us when our time comes? Will they remember us for goodness, humility, and service or something else?

May Allah forgive Shaykh Abdul Aziz ibn Abdullah Al Al-Shaykh, illuminate his grave, raise his rank among the righteous, and grant him Jannatul-Firdaws. And may Allah forgive all deceased Muslims and grant us the tawfīq to leave behind a legacy of righteousness.

PS: Don't forget to recite Suratul Khaf today. BaarakaLlah feekum!

Wetin kill am? Rest in peace to the dead. Nawa ooh this twenty character no be here ooh

Damn bro Jesus was actually treated like a thief now that I think of it🤔🤔

May Allah (SWT) forgive all his shortcomings and grant him Janattul Firdaus

Aamiin

May Allaah count us among those He is pleased with.

Thank you for sharing this piece.

If you are a true follower of Mohammed, you would not disrespect Jesus.

According to the Quran, Jesus is still alive till date after more than 2000 years, and He will come back. Prepare for his return.

Islam doesn't believe the man nailed to the cross was Jesus, so there's no disrespect here.

una don start. This is a Muslim thread why not leave them to do there things.

Jesus was alive, and indeed was nailed to the cross and was dead, but He rose up on the third day and he's alive forever more. Thy sins are forgiven thee

Rilwayne001:

😂😂😂😂 don’t mind him ahaaa

You have finished him totally .

Rilwayne001:

That is why we worship him bro.

The fact that he dropped his Godship and took the form of a man and fulfilled scriptures by such a deaath, means he is more than deserving of worship.

Now, tell us bout your con man.

doffman and the rest

Your Quran said

Ala-Maududi
(19:33) Peace be upon me the day I was born and the day I will die, and the day I will be raised up alive.

This speech in the cradle by Jesus was the sign to which the angel referred in (Surah Maryam, Ayat 21). As Allah intended to punish the children of Israel for their continuous wicked ways and evil deeds, He made a pious virgin girl of the family of Prophet Aaron, who had devoted herself to worship in the Temple under the patronage of Zachariah, bear a child and bring it before her people in order to concentrate the whole attention of the thousands of people assembled there on this extraordinary event. Then He made this new born child speak out even in the cradle that he had been appointed a Prophet. Though they had seen this wonderful sign of Allah, they rejected the Prophethood of Jesus and brought him to the court for crucifixion, and thus incurred the wrath of Allah.



If your Quran could testified to the fact that your Isa is alive, who are you to be doubting the death, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ

Christ is the way the truth and the light

I pray the holy spirit capture your heart one day, only then will you come to terms with the above statement.
His death on the cross was the game changer for humanity

Please next time, ignore him. He's an attention seeker

This statement is very insensitive. It does not reflect well on the recognized Christian personality.
We must understand the missing link that lies at the root of so much religious division in the world: "We are all human before any religion."
"Religion is circumstantial, while humanity is one." Irrespective of our faith.

Am a Christian , but u just typed a huge load of poo.

Emancipate yourself from the European ideology of Religion and Christianity.

Your deeds will judge you not Jesus.

But knowing Christ is the ultimate and the most important favour you can give a man
