We are very saddened at the news of Allamah Delwar Hossain Sayidee’s passing. May Allah forgive him and grant him Jannatul Ferdous.

He was a towering figure in the field of Da’wah in Bangladesh and internationally. An orator of the highest calibre, he influenced millions of people through his Da’wah back to the practice of Islam as a complete way of life.

We were raised listening to his Waaz Mahfil’s on tape, and, also had the pleasure of attending his lectures in person on a number of occasions.

He had a magical power in his speeches to engage thousands of people for hours on end. His lectures were entertaining, at times funny, and at other times sad and tear jerking, but most importantly they were educational and spiritually uplifting.

He was truly one of the greats in the field of Da’wah and will be missed dearly by those who were blessed to be in his company.

It was sad that he had to live the last part of his life as a prisoner of the Bangladeshi Government.

May Allah raise his rank in the Akhira and raise him amongst His most beloved servants in Jannatul Ferdous.
