The demise of the eminent scholar and Sheikhul Hadith, Allama Qamaruddin Gorakhpuri (RA), is undoubtedly a monumental loss for the Muslim Ummah. For many years, he disseminated the knowledge of Prophethood from the halls of Darul Uloom Deoband. He was among the last links of his generation, who dedicated their lives to guiding the Ummah and making unparalleled contributions to the field of Islamic scholarship. His thousands of students, serving Islam across the globe today, stand as a testament to his legacy and an ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah) for him.

Allama Qamaruddin Gorakhpuri was truly an embodiment of the saying, “The death of a scholar is like the death of the entire world.” A scholar safeguards the beliefs of the community and nurtures individuals who spread the message of humanity, love, and brotherhood across the world.

On this grievous occasion, Markazul Ma’arif Education and Research Centre (MMERC), Mumbai, organized a condolence program after the Asr prayer. The event was attended by MMERC Director, Maulana Muhammad Burhanuddin Qasmi, Maulana Atiqur Rahman Qasmi, other teachers, students, and local residents.

The meeting began with a recitation of the Glorious Qur’an, followed by collective supplications for the forgiveness and elevation of Allama’s ranks in the Hereafter. Furthermore, the teachers made special arrangements for individual prayers for the late scholar in their respective classes. The condolence gathering concluded with heartfelt tributes to Allama’s remarkable services and prayers for his forgiveness and eternal peace.
