On the passing of Shaykh Sufi Abdullah Khan al-Naqshabandi

I have received news of the passing of my Murshid (Spiritual Guide) from this realm of existence to the next… Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon (Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return).

May Allah grant our murshid Shaykh Sufi Muhammad Abdullah Khan al-Naqshabandi a blessed journey to the highest stations of Jannah, in the blessed company, and sheltered under the cloak of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, to a Heavenly abode well deserved after a life of service to his family, his mureeds (students), Islam​ and Muslims in general, the communities of Kohat, Pakistan and Birmingham, United Kingdom, and for his efforts towards opening and cultivating Divine Love in the hearts of everyone in our Human Family.

Please pray (dua) for Sufi Abdullah’s family, friends and the Central Jamia Masjid Ghamkol Sharif he founded in Birmingham, that Allah al Kareem’s Divine Love, Light and Heavenly Guidance continues to flow through, support and bless these channels until the End of Time. Al Fatihah.
