Jamia Markaz: With heavy hearts and praying lips, hundreds
of thousands of believers thronged in the special spiritual conference organized
in memoriam of the great sayyid, guru, scholar and leader of our time; Tajul
Ulema Sayyid Abdurahman Al Bukhari, or the better known, Ullal Thangal, here in
Markaz. Jamia Chancellor Sheikh Abubaker
Ahmed delivered the commemorative speech at “A tribute to Tajul Ulema”, paying
lofty deference to the departed soul.
Remembering Tajul Ulema, he said that, Thangal was the unparalleled
scholar and brave leader of the Muslim community and his absence is a heavy
loss, which cannot be repaired or replaced. His profound knowledge in the Holy
Qur’an, Prophetic traditions and Islamic books really spell bounded many and he
dedicated himself for the cause of spreading the spiritual enlightenment and
heavenly knowledge. He was both bold and brawny in matters related to the
original faith and practice of Islam.
His disciple circle included great scholars who are committed to keep
the light of knowledge for the posterities.
His students could never go wrong or astray, for he had the spiritual
connection and guidance for all of them.
It is a false argument in Islam that those who have passed away should
not be commemorated. At the same time there are solid proofs that it is a good
practice for the entire Muslim community to remember the great Auliya and
scholars, and thereby enhance our lives, added Sheikh Abubaker.
The programme was enriched with spiritual agendas like Burda
recitation, Khatmul Qur’an, Tahleel and special prayers. The staff and students
offered thousands of Khatmul Quran and millions of Thahleel for Thajul Ulema. C.
Muhammad Faizee welcomed and Dr. Husain Saquafi delivered the introductory
speech.
Other than thousands of Sharia students and laymen, VIP
participants included Sayyid Ibrahim Khaleel Bukhari, Sayyid Zainul Abideen
Bafaqi, Sayyid Abdul Fathah Avelam, Sayyid Sharafuddin Jamalullaili, Sayyid
Suhail Saquafi, PKS Thangal Thalappara, Sayyid Thaha Saquafi, Husain Musliyar
