I am speechless and thankful to Allah for the mountains of knowledge he has left us with. May Allaah the Almighy and Most Merciful have mercy on his soul. Ameen.

Here is a message sent out by Sheikh Muhammad al-Jibaly:

As-salaamu `alaykum wa-rahmat Ullaah.

Innaa lillaahi wi’innaa ilayhi raaji’oon. One of our brothers in the da’wah to the Sunnah, Dr. Saleh as-Saleh, just passed away today here in Madinah, right after zuhr prayer in al-Masjid an-Nabawi. I did not believe the news at first, but just called his phone, and his wife confirmed it to me, and said he was too exhausted, and this was the main cause of his death (at the young age of about 50). She said his body is now in al-Ansar hospital, and will be buried tomorrow morning in al-Baqee’. His passing on Jumu’ah, and in the Prophet’s Mosque while performing `ibaadah, are indeed very good indicators. May Allaah (T) forgive him, augment his good deeds tremendously, and admit him to Jannah in the company of the prophets and the most righteous. Saleh (Abu Rasheed) was with us on the board of QSS for a short time before he moved to Saudi Arabia (in the early 90’s). He went through a great and successful struggle to save his first two children from the bad influence of their non-Muslim mother. He wrote many beneficial books in various areas of Islamic knowledge, and he held regular paltalk halqas through his website: www.understand-islam.net. Indeed, to Allaah belongs what He took and what He gives, and everything is with Him to a determined duration.

Was-salaamu `alaykum
