The well-known \u2018golden voice of da\u2019wah work\u2019, Moulana Muhammad Um\u00e2r Palanpuri (RA) passed away on Wednesday, 21 May 1997 at 1.30pm in Nizamuddin, Delhi. The previous day he had gone with other elders of the Markaz, for an Ijtima in Agra, a five-hour journey by car. He fell ill en-route and returned to Delhi where he was immediately admitted to hospital. He was discharged on Wednesday morning feeling much better. Later during the day he had a heart attack and passed away.
\nMoulana (RA) was orphaned at an early age and was left solely to the care of his pious mother. He showed signs of a brilliant mind front a young age. This prompted his uncle to help him pursue a secular education. The Moulana\u2019s mother however had other plans. She wanted her son to devote his energies to acquiring the knowledge of D\u00een. That is what happened.
\nThe Moulana (RA) studied at Darul Ul\u00fbm Deoband, from where he graduated with marks which impressed even his teachers.For the purpose of tazkia [purification of the soul], he approached Shaikhul Had\u00eeth Moulana Zakariyya Kandalvi (RA) who in time granted the Moulana khilafat.
\nHe visited the UK several times. On each occasion he accompanied the late Am\u00eer of the Tablighi Jamaat, Moulana Inamul Hasan (RA). His last visit was in 1994 when he attended the international gathering in Dewsbury. On this visit he related the following story. As a young man his mother would ask him to read to her. On one such occasion, overjoyed, she prayed, “May you see the day when you are speaking and thousands of people are listening, as opposed to now, when your mother is your sole listener.” Tears welled in his eyes when Moulana (RA) narrated this incident. The mother’s prayer, as the world witnessed, was answered to the letter.
\nMoulana (RA) was sixty-five years old. He had memorized the Qur\u2019\u00e2n during his old age – a remarkable achievement. Hundreds of thousands of people have benefited immensely from his discourses and pious company. He was erudite and a devoted saint of All\u00e2h, yet his humility cast a veil over his impressive \u2018god-fearing\u2019 qualities. His demise brings to three the number of great personalities the world of Tabligh has lost in the last two years – others being, Moulana Izhaar (RA) and Hazratjee Moulana Inamul Hasan (RA).
\nMay All\u00e2h grant them Jannah and replace them with noble personalities. Am\u00een.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
