On the 4th of February 2016, a day still vivid in my memory, I checked my WhatsApp messages and was shocked to learn that Allamah Saʿīdī had passed away. My hands trembled, tears filled my eyes as I absorbed the news. The person whose books I had directly benefited from, along with thousands of other scholars, was no more. I had never met Allamah Saʿīdī, nor had I heard any of his talks. My only connection with him was through his writings. I faintly remember a radio interview in 2004 during my internship at the Bobbersmill Community Centre (Nottingham), where Allamah Saʿīdī discussed Fiqh issues with Imam Safiullah on Radio Dawn. It was only later, upon reading his books, that I truly understood who Allamah Saʿīdī was.
