We mourn again the departure of our great scholar, Dr Idriss Abdul-Aziz Dutsen Tanshi, Bauchi state Nigeria

Dr. Idriss popularly known as Dr. Tauhid died in Bauchi last Two weeks ago after battling an undisclosed illness for more than a month and he is already been buried according to Islamic law.

This is a big loss to Bauchi, Nigeria and Africa in entirety as the late Sheikh was a teacher, employer to many, philanthropist and to approximate it all, a serious defender of Tauhid.

I would like to extend my sincere condolence message first to Sheikh's family, then all students of Sunnah, supporters and the entire Islamic community. Indeed, this is a loss worth grieving for, but we ought to grieve within our own Islamic principles. Sheikh is dead, we are sad but we shall utter not a word to displease our Creator, Allah.

Unlike many who see Dr. Idriss as controversial, I consider him a serious Islamic scholar, reformer and mentor to the extent that my wife would say in a jest "malaminka" meaning "my scholar".

In the last Two years since I became his ardent listener, many I could come in contact with within my Islamic knowledge pursuit would criticise the late Sheikh, the least some could say was "Dr Idriss is highly controversial and lacks method of teaching" but hardly will they back it up with evidence.

Finally, I got fully engaged into Sheikh's weekly Khudbah from Dutsen Tanshi mosque via YouTube and all his other lessons. The manner in which he says the truth was second to none I could ever hear for my ears, may be that made him 'controversial'.

He exhibited abundant knowledge; he was fearless, accurate in translating, good at giving examples, deep in thought and contemplation and also had the will to defend the Prophet's teachings (sunnah) even with his blood.

Dr. Idriss built a secondary schools, School of Health and many developmental projects to his Community and the Bauchi state in General.

May his Soul rest in Jannatul firdaus.

Summary of the Jumu’ah Khutbah delivered by Sheikh Abdullah bin Awad Al Juhany in Masjid Al Haram (18 April 2025 | 20 Shawwal 1446)

The Reality of This World

This world has turned away and departed swiftly; nothing remains of it except the hardships it brings to those who dwell in it. This world is a place of trial and test — the believer cries in it due to prosperity and hardship, wealth and poverty, health and sickness, desires and doubts — and in the end, every living being meets death.

But Allah, the Most High, has promised those who are patient and content with a tremendous reward for enduring the trials and tribulations of this world. He says:
“And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient — those who, when disaster strikes them, say, ‘Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.’ Upon them are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:155-157)

You will soon depart from this fleeting world to the everlasting abode. So reflect — have you ever witnessed a day that passes without hearing of the death of fathers, sons, mothers, brothers, and neighbors?

Death is inevitable — destined for both the young and old, the rich and poor. No king or ruler can stop it; no wealth or companions can prevent it; no curtain can shield from it. No one is immune. If anyone were to be spared, it would have been the purified Prophets and Messengers of Allah. But they, too, passed away — and our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, despite being the noblest of creation.

A wise person should think of what lies ahead after death — and reflect on where he will be laid to rest. How will his soul be welcomed? Will his grave be a garden from the gardens of Paradise in which he finds comfort, or a pit from the pits of Hell in which he is tormented?

So, prepare yourselves with righteous

At an hour in which supplications are hoped to be answered, hands are raised in earnest prayer, and hearts beat with faith and hope — amidst moments of stillness and humility, and under the shade of mercy in the Masjid Al-Haram — forgiveness is sought and acceptance is hoped for.

‎“Helping the poor with food in the month of Ramadan is from the Sunnan (practice) of Islam.

‎Indeed the Prophet ﷺ said:

‘Whoever opens the fast of a person fasting then he gets the like of his reward.’”

Ibn Taymiyyah - ‎[Majmu Al-Fatawa, 25/29]

A person who is content with what the Almighty provides for him will enjoy tranquility, satisfaction & peace of mind. He does not long for what others have. If you’re content with what He has given you, you’ll be the richest person.
