بسم اللہ الرحمٰن الرحیم
In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful.
رب ا شرح لی صدری و یسرلی امری واحلل عقدہ من لسانی یفقھو ا قولی
And ease for me my task and untie the knot from my tongue that they may understand my words.
Maulana Kaka Mohammed Sayeed Ahmed sahib, Chancellor of the Arabic Institution Jamia Darussalam, Oomerabad, who passed away on Saturday, 11th May, 2024 in Oomerabad (Inna lillahi wainna ilaihi rajiwoon) served in many organisations including The All India Muslim Personal Law Board as Vice President. Sayeed sahib did not aspire for any power or pelf. They came to him because of his scholarship and dedicated service to the humanity particularly orphans. He was the real Guardian of the students under his care at Jamia.
Jamia Darussalam was established by his great grandfather Maulana Kaka Mohammed Oomer sahib marhoom, a hides and skins merchant and a philanthropist of that time in the year 1924. It was Late Maulana Kaka Sayeed Ahmed sahib and his brother late Maulana Kaka Mohammed Oomer sahib who developed it as a modern University. I had the pleasant opportunity to see both brothers and their great attempts successfully making the Institution a great one in terms of education and modern facilities.
I remember that late Maulana Hafeezur Rahman sahib Umari Madani and many others got opportunities in Madina University for higher education and came up in life with flying colours because of their initial graduation at Jamia Darussalam. This tendency continues even now. I am happy to say that my cousin brothers' son who studied at Jamia is serving as an Imam and Mudarris at Qatar since many years.
Jamia has always attracted people because of its excellent Islamic syllabus which enables its students to understand Islam in a proper prospective and be strong and unshakeable in their beliefs.
Even Jamia's Summer education programme arranged every year for high school boys which imparts high quality Islamic education along with excellent lodging and boarding accommodations is appreciated by one and all. Jamia enables students to utilise their holidays in useful ways without wasting their time. Maulana Sayeed sahib was very particular in shaping the destiny of the students.
Sayeed Sahib was never a silent spectator, but his expressions were based on hikma and hasana. I am told that even in the Muslim personal law board meetings he voiced his views boldly in clear terms understandable to all.
Sayeed sahib had great concern for have-nots particularly orphans and he did a lot for their emancipation. He made big plans for the future of students in Jamia and successfully implemented them. I feel he was a man of strong beliefs and strong actions.
"They ask about orphans. Say working for their improvement is best - khair" (Quran Al-Baqara 220)
Who cares for the have-nots, orphans in the present highly materialistic world? I am sorry. The rich do not want to even talk with them. Perhaps this situation disturbed Maulana Kaka Mohammed Sayeed sahib. He went to their rescue and was successful in imparting them the education they required to lead a better life. We have seen orphans at Jamia attaining high positions in different organizations in various countries. It is Madrasas which destroy arrogance of rich arrogants and pave way for Islamic equality and fraternity. Maulana Kaka Sayeed sahib played a vital role in this regard being the Guardian of the orphans at Jamia Darussalam, Oomerabad.
We all pray for the maghfirath of the deceased Maulana and sabr-e-jameel to his near and dear ones.
