When the Skies Wept: Death of a Scholar
At-Talib writes about the life and death of an eminent scholar who lived in his midst, whose qualifications and deep knowledge were not known to him until only after his death.
And yet this man lived amongst us in his old age, retired from teaching due to illness and weak health, and no one really knew who he was. When I read his books in Pakistan and became lost in his marvelous tafseer of the Qur’an, I was shocked that this was the very same Abu Jee that I knew lived in Chicago amongst us. Strange, I thought. This man is a giant. How come I have come to know of him and his scholarship only now?!
JazakAllah-khair to Hafsa for the tip.
