Moments to cherish with Shaykh Muḥammad Saleem Dhorat Ṣāḥib, مدظله العالی, at al-Masjid al-Aqsa Blackburn
It was 33 years ago, when our group of 9 graduates, formed an organisation by the name of ‘Unity‘, which was later renamed Muslim Welfare Institute (MWI).
Since our inception, we regularly met with our senior teachers and scholars, to update them on our activities and also to request their blessings and Du’ās. One of them is Shaikh Muḥammad Saleem Dhorat Ṣāḥib, مدظله العالی.
Shaikh Saleem had established the Islāmic Da’wah Academy (IDA) in Leicester. We spent many hours with Shaikh, discussing our projects, purchase of our office, etc. 33 years on, we were privileged & honoured when Shaikh arrived at our al-Masjid al-Aqsa here on Emerald Street, in Blackburn.
It was Thursday 10th April at 10:30pm when Shaikh graced us with his presence. As the word went out that Shaikh had arrived, our little Masjid started to fill up. The next hour was truly mesmerising.
Shaikh recited the short Ḥadīth on spreading Ṣalām and gave a beautiful commentary on it. It really was very inspiring, .مَا شَآءَ الله Almighty Allāh has blessed Shaikh Saleem with an ocean of knowledge and also blessed us here in the UK to have such a scholar amongst us.
The purpose of my message today is to encourage all the Muslims of the UK, especially Leicester and The Midlands, to benefit from all the programmes organised by IDA and to take as much blessings as possible from Shaikh Saleem.
May The Almighty preserve Shaikh Saleem, bless him with the best of health and allow us all to be with him in Jannat ul-Firdaus, Āmeen.
جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا
