Faizel Patel, Radio Islam News – 18-10-2017
Renowned scholar Ml Yunus Patel (RA) was an Islamic luminary whose knowledge cast a light on all those that were fortunate to be in his company or took heed from his advices.
Ml Patel (RA) originally from Durban, passed away in the haram of Makkah on 12 July 2011.
His Janaza was performed by Shaykh Shuraim in the Haram in Makkah.
Ml Patel (RA) is buried in Jannatul Mu’alla amongst the great Sahaabah and Sahaabiyyaat (RA)
Days before he passed away Ml Patel (RA) reportedly sent a beautiful SMS to his children about the blessed city of Medina.
“Sweet Medina, Sweet Medina, very, very sweet. On the way to Masjid-e-Nabawi (SAW) on our feet, thousands of Muslims to greet and meet. At the Raudha Mubarak, Durood and Salaam to read. At Iftaar, Zam Zam to drink and dates to eat. Allah Ta’ala and Rasulullah (SAW) advices, we should heed. Take care of the widows, orphans and those in need; The poor and hungry, we must feed, Purify the hearts from jealousy, malice, pride and greed, To Allah we must plead…that from Hellfire, we be freed. Now take your time and read, longest SMS from me you have ever received; Do a good deed; Forward to Allah with speed -A dua for this servant of His, in need.”
In Urdu text Ml Patel (RA) writes: “Kaash Madina ab watan hota. Yaha jeeta, yaha marta Yaha goro kafan hota.”(How I wish Medina Sharief was my place of residence, that I live here, die here; my kaffan and burial take place here.)
Six years after the demise of Ml Patel (RA), Muslims have been encouraged to reflect on one his favourite quotes.
“Strange is the visa of life-It can be cancelled at any time. The duration of its validity unknown, and its extension too is impossible.”
May Allah enlighten his qabr and grant all those who have passed away the highest stages of Jannah.
