Nation Builder

Some deaths surprise you and sadden you, but others truly shake you to the core.

To Allah we belong and to Him we return.

Today, Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef – founder of DiscoverU and AlMaghrib – suddenly passed away.

A righteous man has indeed left us. 😢

May Allah have mercy on you and accept every good you did in this world. Tons were guided through you and today tons make du’a for you.

This man was a giant in our Ummah, taught us the power of Dua, and to always rely on Allah. He raised a nation of Dua makers in all of us.

So today, we ask Allah to make us all a hujjah for him in the Akhirah, for everything he taught us to be counted in his scale of good deeds with him, and that Allah beautifies his reception, forgive him his sins, and enter him into Al-Firdaws.

Shaykh Muhammad was healthy with no illness, but life is not promised.

He was someone who took full advantage of his time spending it on what mattered most and what would lead to goodness in the Akhirah.

He has always said that the identity he aspires to be is that of a righteous man (as Najashi was described by the Prophet ﷺ – “today a righteous man has died”). We pray that with Allah, he is entered among the righteous. A true nation builder.

Muhammad Alshareef You not only inspired a nation, but generations across the world. You raised the level of Da’wah and the standards of Islamic organizations and work. You built, established, and then left the Sadaqa Jaariya of AlMaghrib Institute quietly, to leave your mark in other initiatives, yet your impact resonates so loudly.

Those who know you, know what was hidden from the public eye was better than what was apparent.

May Allah SWT accept you among the righteous, welcome you with His generosity and mercy, make you a neighbour to the Prophets and Messengers, and reward you for the best of what you used to do.

Indeed the eyes shed tears, the hearts mourn, but we only say that which pleases Allah SWT.

May all of his work continue to be a sadaqah jariyah for him until the Day of Judgment.

May Allah grant his family patience in this difficult time.

Please keep him, and his family, in your Duas.
