Al-Fatihah for Datuk Ishak Baharom who passed away this afternoon.May Allah's blessings on his soul and accept him in His Jannah.May I record my personal thank to him for coming over to our surau a few years ago and I am deeply grateful to be one of the listeners of his kuliyyah.
PS:Let us ponder on the Hadith below from Sahih Muslim:
‘Abdullah b. ‘Amr b. al-’As reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
Verily, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people but He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars, so that when He leaves no learned person, people turn to ignorant as their leaders; then they are asked to deliver religious verdicts and they deliver them without knowledge, they go astray, and lead others astray.
Below is the news from Utusan.Here is a link to a video where he delivered his kuliyyah relating to tsunami flood.

MHI,
As more of our learned ulama passed away and not being replaced enogh,the collective knowledge on Islam within our muslim community is taken away...
Go take opportunity to learn from our ulama as much as possible while they are still alive.

One more person beloved of Allah (I presume so) passed away. It is said that Kiamat will come when Allah takes away all alims to Him and the Earth are left with the mungkars..
