It will be the UK's first shafi'i Darul uloom, although catering for individuals of all 4 schools of thought too InshaAllah!
We pray that the academy be a means of the blessed Muhammadan light shining through to all the males, females, children, youth and elders of our communities, and a means of guidance and light for the entire ummah!
Ameen! 💚

Eid mubarak to all! Hope you all have a blessed day.

Hope the lovely following poem written by my brother and sent this morning brings even little bit of comfort to those who are spending either their first Eid or 10th without their beloved parents/loved ones InshaAllah...

Oh you who... ...has lost a beloved

How does it feel ?
when your alarm buzzes on the day of Eid
which was once a buzz and a joyous feel.
but you soon realise that its now only a dream
reminiscing on the past makes you wanna scream.

How does it feel ?
as you go down looking like a bride or a groom
waiting for the smile that illuminates the room
and dip into the plates of food,
which didnt just appear there!
She stayed up the night to make you that...
whilst you slept like a bear!
Only....you dont see no smile, nor any light
The house is in darkness, and its got every right.

How does it feel ?
as you pay a visit to the dead, stand by their feet
your tongue recites Yaseen
but your mind is playing back scenes
of moments you wish you could relive
and for that, what you would give!
you kneel down as you would every other time
to tell her how your day or week went.
but this time, is like no other time
you try to speak but....
heart, soul, body....all silent.

How does it feel ?
When you know she's seeing you
hearing your footsteps, as you draw near
All you want is a reply to your call
for her to say: walaikum salaam, my Dear
But...

You turn back and drive away
phone in hand, waiting for her call
"How far away? Foods ready on the plate!"
But you realise she's not there
You thought you were returning home
but youd just left home!
and now driving back to what it once was - "home"

O you who....has lost a beloved
Let me remind you of The Beloved ﷺ
May my heart and soul be his
He knows us well.... he's been through this!

How did he feel?
when he opened his eyes to no father
then soon lost his dear mother
and then another...and another
Broken he was, lived a whole life of grief.
Yet smiled his way through
bringing joy and relief,

How do you feel ?
when you hear his ﷺ words
ringing in your ear
telling his companion and most dear
Do not grieve....do not fear

Mum... Gone but NEVER forgotten ❤😥💔

21st February 2021 will now forever be a date which brings me and many of you back to the woeful and grievous emotions of losing my beloved mother, my best friend - Marhoomah Fatima Limbada. The sadness of this calamity will forever remain somewhere in our hearts but neither will our memories fail to remind us constantly of all the good moments we shared with her Alhamdulillah ☺🥰

My beloved mothers services for the local as well as the wider communities for the last 36 years are unquestionable and testified by all her family, friends and customers...Customers who she would regard and treat as her own family. The outstanding reason of the huge amount of respect she holds in our hearts and her acceptance in the community, as we (her family) can without a doubt declare, is her immense hard work for the satisfaction of her customers and sincerity to earn and provide for her family, as well as her undoubted piety which manifested its self in multiple forms.

The truth is that words are not proving to be enough to do her and her works and favours justice. Our hearts are burning to see those rosy cheeks and the beaming smile of hers one more time and I'm sure everybody who had tasted her delicious dishes cooked with constant and abundant zikr of Allah and durood, will be yearning to taste her food one more time.

Mum's expertise in her field was, as many can testify, unparalleled and second to none. Her painstaking and untiring hard work to earn, cook and wholeheartedly feed people was her way of expressing her love to her beloved ones. She would literally work day and night for this, sacrificing her own commitments for this purpose.

She'd very rarely miss her tahajjud prayer, the sunnah and many other optional fasts, morning and evening recitation of the manzil, her regular tilaawah of the Quraan and the countless tasbeehs and durood shareef all day long. This "job" was her passion. Her life! Her joy and her expression and token of love!
In short... I can't find words to rightfully encompass her merits and favours, because some things are just ineffable and decide to remain in the heart.
