As always I am in complete agreement with u in that I would be thrilled to know that the Sheikh will re-commence his Tafsir and carry on illuminating our humble little town with the radiance of the Qur'an. However, I also have another suggestion... Those who sat in those lectures delivered by Moulana will know with what passion he spoke about the Sahaba (Companions) of the Prophet (PBUH). One could not help but feel awed at the way he painted their lives - making them seem the amazing human beings that they were and not mere characters contained within the pages of books. That is why I would be also put forward that he starts a similar 'Tafsir' of the seminal work of the late Sheikh Yusuf Khandlavi (RA), 'Hayatus Sahaba' (Lives of the Companions). Our great Prophet (PBUH) once said, 'My Sahaba are like guiding stars - whichever one you follow, you will reach your destination' - Just think how much we could all benefit if we were treated to an in-depth, pragmatic and easy-to-understand explanation of the lives of these great men and women... So that's my suggestion, insha-Allah I hope to request Moulana saheb and see what his thoughts on the matter are. Ma'as-salaam Wa-alaykum salaam Mr Elyas – how good of you to finally grace our blog with your ever eloquent presence!

So that’s my suggestion, insha-Allah I hope to request Moulana saheb and see what his thoughts on the matter are.

May allah be pleased with the learned scholar. Verily only Allah Almighty can truly reward someone who has spent his entire life spreading and teaching the blessed word of allah as set out in the Holy Quran and practically illustrated by his beloved Prophet Mohammed SAW. So it is Allah we beseech when we give thanks & pray for those like Sheikh Yakub who have devoted themselves for this noble cause. I know Sid has had in recent times the ear of the blessed Sheikh. Does he know something we dont! The Course of Tafseer may have been completed but surely the 14 year cycle can and should resume again from the beginning. I do not think that the end of the tafseer cycle should be marked as some sort of obituary. Like the recitation of the quran tafseer of the quran should never end or cease. No sooner we reach the last page we are instructed to start again from the first page. So I for 1 will pray to Allah Almighty that his mercy and protection continually enshroud the learned sheikh, that he may enjoy continuous good health and well being so that he can serve the needy ummah for another 14 years and more, inshallah and AMEEN. Here's to Tafseer starting again ASAP Allahafez Elyas. Salams and Duas to 1 and all and to Sid ofcourse too.
