A sad Day! Ya Allah!

[Salafi_Online]

A Righteous Man Has Died

Abu Awais Abdullaah Ahmad 'Alee

(Died 25th Ramadhaan 1425H, rahimahullaah)

 

 

All praise is due to Allaah, we seek His aid and His assistance and His forgiveness. We seek refuge from the evil of our souls and the evil of our actions. Whomsoever Allaah guides, there is none to misguide and whomsoever He misguides, there is none to guide. I bear witness that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allaah, alone and without any partners, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

 

To proceed:

 

The eyes shed tears, there is sadness and grief in the heart, but we only say things pleasing to our Lord. Indeed we are saddened by the passing away of our brother Abu Awais, rahimahullaah.

 

"Innaa lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji'oon."

"Indeed to Allaah we belong and to Him we shall return."

 

Allaah, the Most Perfect and the Most High, said,

 

"And give glad tidings to the patient - those who, when afflicted with a calamity, say 'Indeed to Allaah we belong and to Him we shall return.' It is those who will be rewarded with blessings and mercy from their Lord. And it is those who are the guided ones."

 

(Al-Baqarah 2:155-157)

 

Allaah's Messenger (salallaahu 'alayhi wassallam) said: "To Allaah belongs what He took, and to Him belongs what He gave. Everything is recorded with him for an appointed term.." (Ahkaamul-Janaa'iz of Al-Albaanee)

 

Muhammad bin 'Ubayd at-Tanaafisee said, "I was with Sufyaan ath-Thawree when a man came to him and said, 'I saw in a dream that a sweet smelling flower was raised up from the West.' Sufyaan said, 'If your dream is true, then Al-Awzaa'ee has died.' So they wrote that down, and later they found that he had indeed died upon that day." And Al-Awzaa'ee died in 157AH.

 

This day in Ramadaan 1425AH, another sweet smelling flower has been raised from the West, this time from the USA.

 

Sadaqah bin 'Abdullaah said, "I have not seen anyone wiser, more complete, nor better able to understand what he possessed than al-Awzaa'ee."

 

I can say I have not known anyone in the USA wiser, more complete, nor better able to understand what he possessed than Abu Awais Abdullaah.

 

Allaah's Messenger (salallaahu 'alayhi wassallam) said:

 

"Whoever loves meeting Allaah, Allaah loves to meet him. And whoever hates to meet Allaah, then Allaah hates to meet him."

 

(At-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah, hadeeth declared Hasan by Al-Albaanee)

 

I pray that Abu Awais is from those whom Allaah loves to meet. In all the time I have known him, I have never seen from him except truthfulness, bravery, honesty, love for the da'wah and its preservation, hatred of that which opposed the Sunnah, he despised liars and loved the people of Sunnah. He never spoke in front of people except that you sensed that he must have thought for many hours before hand. He was wise and trustworthy, never deceptive. There was no hypocrisy in his behaviour, he meant what he said and from what I knew of him, he acted in accordance to his knowledge. He loved his wife and family and those under his care from the children of his wife. Whenever a person was in his presence, he would make you feel comfortable to the extent that one would feel as if he was from his closest companions. He was never afraid to speak the truth and clarify the Salafi manhaj. He was my friend, my brother, my advisor and by Allaah, I will miss him and his company. And we do not glorify anyone beyond or more than Allaah.

 

I pray to my Lord, Allaah, the Most Merciful, Oft-Forgiving that He showers His Mercy upon my brother Abu Awais Abullaah Ahmad 'Alee and that He eases the pain and the grief of his family and children. Allaahumma Aameen.

 

And indeed all praise is due to Allaah, Lord of all creation. And may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon the Messenger Muhammad, his family and his Companions.

Allahumma Ameen,

 

 

Innalilahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un,

 

in a country founded on confusion, misguidance and extreme innovations, Abu Awais held the flag of kitab & sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf, He traverses upon this path until Allah Jala wa 'ala sought what belong to him! We pray for his soul, May Allah grant him Jannah fardows!Allahumma Ameen

 

 

Hammaad bin Zayd mentioned that Ayoob (as-Sakhtiyaanee) said, “ When I am informed of the death of a man from Ahl us-Sunnah it is as if I have lost some of my limbs.†(Sharh Usool-Laalakaaee 1/66) (al-Hilyah 3/9)

When i read such stories and events, my heart becomes saddened for we have lost such a great Muslim, yet i know i should be happy for him for he has left this world and inshallah for one which is better.

 

This reminds me of the day i found about the deaths of Shaykh Al-bani. It was about a year or so later, when i first had any sort of interest in Islam. I was shocked, not only because such a believer was no longer with us, but that i did not know of him while he was alive- this for me was the most shocking part of all for i did not know one of the greatest scholars of Islam yet i could name so many kuffaar stars.

 

May Allah have mercy on him and grant him janatul-firdows.

[Raxmah]

^^ amin

 

Innaa lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raajicoon

 

May allah grant him the highest level in pradise.

Another Sad day-I was just watching the 10 O'Clock news(BBC) my time..and it just confirmed that Mr. YASEER ARAFAT is indeed Dead. There was a brief news conference by the French confirming his death(some time 3am british time). Iam sure in the morning you will get the news in detail.

 

Inna lilaahi wa ina illahi rajicuun..Ya rabi-May you grant him paradise-Amin.
