Innaa lillaah wa innaa lillaahi raji'oon!

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Baarakatuh,

Innaa lillaah wa innaa lillaahi raji'oon!

Shaikh `Abdullah bin `Aqeel (rahimahUllaah) has passed away on September 6th, 2011 - 8 Shawwal 1432.

One of the greatest senior scholars of Sa'udi Arabia namely Shaikh `Abdullah bin `Aqeel (rahimahullah) has passed away. He was one of the last remaining students of Shaykh Abdur Rahmaan Ibn Nasir As-Sa'dee, who was the main teacher of Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (rahimahumullah).

The Shaykh would spend the 'white days' of every month in Makkah, making Umrah, fasting, teaching and entertaining his students and guests in his room. May Allah have mercy on him, he would be fasting in the mid-summer, in the Haram in the non-AC section, teaching students before and after the prayers, without complaining once. Despite of his old age and weakness, he would insist on praying standing.

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala have mercy and grant Jannatul Firdaus to all of the shuyukh that have left us, aameen.

Abdullah bin Amr bin Al Aas (radiAllaahu 'anhu) narrates: I heard Allah's Messenger sallalahu alayhi wa sallam saying, "Allah does not take away the knowledge, by taking it away from (the hearts of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the religious learned men till when none of the (religious learned men) remains, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their verdict without knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead the people astray." Bukhari [1/100].

Our beloved Sheikh 'Abdullah bin 'Abdul 'Azeez al 'Aqeel returned to his Lord today (Sept. 6). We ask Allah to have mercy on him and forgive him. The Sheikh will be prayed over on Wednesday after salat al 'Asr in Riyadh city.
