'To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.' (2:156) Shaik Malukar Sahib of Kottar, one of the respected members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam in Tamil Nadu passed away this week, Innaa Lillaahi Wa Innaa Ilayhi Raajioon.
In a communication to the Jamaat in India, Imam- Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam Hazrat Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius remembers this sincere and righteous disciple who lived a fruitful life in remembrance of God before that final journey to Allah (swt) destined for all living persons. Janaza Namaz Ghaib -funeral prayers in absentia- were performed by brothers and sisters of the Jamaat in India: may Allah (swt) forgive him, accept his good deeds, and welcome him to the happiness and fragrance of Paradise, Aameen.
Reproduced below are the extracts from the special message from Hazrat Saheb (aba):
'On 06
December 2021, one of my dear disciples in Tamil Nadu, Shaik Malukar Sahib died
due to a heart-attack at the age of 46 years old. He was the President of the
Kottar Branch of our Jamaat. On that day, he performed his Salat-ul-Tahajjud
& Fajr and participated in the Al-Azim Tafsir’ul Quran Dars, and it was
afterwards that he felt pain in his chest. He was then taken to the hospital
and according to the information received, on the way to the hospital he told
his wife to look after his two children and then he recited the Kalima. The
doctors tried to revive him but in vain. When they were still in the hospital,
I received the sad news of his demise from the Mukarram State Amir of Tamil
Nadu and I phoned his wife and son and talked to them in the hospital.
I am
saddened today, as a Spiritual Father, I lost one of my dear and sincere
disciples.
His physical death as a soldier of Islam, with true faith in Allah
is unlike the spiritual death of someone who once claimed affinity with this
humble self. While one of them succeeded in obtaining the high pleasure of
Allah, the other one fell prey to his own passions.
[Allah says in the Holy Quran: 'And not equal are the living and the dead. Indeed, Allah causes to hear whom He wills, but you cannot make hear those in the graves'. (35: 23)]
From this
verse in Surah Fatir, Allah wants to make known that the truly alive in His
eyes are those who die for His cause, who die with true faith, not those who
are physically living but who lose their faith and befriend Satan and follow him
in all his deviations from the right path.
Alhamdulillah,
Summa Alhamdulillah,
since his integration and Bai’at in the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam, Shaik
Malukar Sahib has devoted himself in the cause of Allah, day and night. And
Alhamdulillah, he died in the Divine Manifestation of this age and he has
recognised and stayed true to his Bai’at in the hands of the Khalifatullah of
this era - his demise came in such a moment when he is most devoted in Allah’s
Jamaat [Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam] and he underwent many trials with his own
family members, but he as well as his wife and children stayed spiritually
strong and made lots of tabligh/ dawa in African countries.
Within
two days, three persons, an Amir Jamaat in India, a Siraj Makin Branch
President and a dynamic Muntaqa have all dreamt of him in a very good
situation, and place Alhamdulillah. Indeed, Allah has cleared his way and enable
him to go through the phases of death in a dignified and praiseworthy way.
May
Allah bless Shaik Malukar Sahib with a lofty place in Jannat-ul-Firdaus and may
Allah guide and help his family members – his wife Sabeena Sahiba and two
children, Suleiman and Sajida – to bear this loss with patience – Fasbir Sabran Jamila, and may Allah enable
them to stay true and sincere to the cause of ISLAM, Sahih al Islam
until their last breath. Ameen.
