The demise of 54-year-old scholar, who was the principal of Jamia Islamia Educational Institutions and Khatheeb of Jamia Masjid for several years, came as a shock to the entire town of Bhatkal.

The end came at around 4:30p.m. and the mortal remains of the departed soul were brought back to Bhatkal at 9:30 p.m. Thousands of mourners including socio political leaders gathered in the vicinity of the house and waited late into the night to get a glimpse of the deceased.

As soon as the sad news began to spread, the people of Bhatkal voluntarily closed down their shops and businesses as a mark of respect. Bhatkalis in Middle Eastern countries too closed down their shops.

Meanwhile, Majlis-e-Islah-wa-Tanzeem, a prominent body of Bhatkal Muslims, declared holiday for all Muslim educational institutions in Bhatkal.

Well known for his Juma Khutbah (Friday sermons) for three decades and eloquent way of reciting Qur’an, Maulana had thousands of fans and followers in and around the town. He served as the imam of Jamia Masjid for over 32 years.

After completing his education in Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, a prestigious Islamic education institution based in Lucknow, he joined Jamia Islamia in 1983 as a teacher of theology and Islamic studies. As its principal for the last 15 years, he was instrumental in making it one of the best centres for religious education in south India.

Several socio-cultural and religious organizations of Bhatkal and groups of nonresident Bhatkal people from across the world have expressed deep grief over Maulana’s demise.

The janazah prayer will be held on Thursday at 10 am at Jamia Masjid and he will be laid to rest at the cemetery in Takiya street.
