The Prophet’s Mosque has lost one of its most enduring and beloved teachers. Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah Haji, who taught Quran at the Masjid an-Nabawi for more than fifty years, passed away.
He began teaching at the Prophet’s Mosque in an era when the floors were still covered with gravel, long before the carpets and modern expansions.
His commitment to teaching was legendary. Colleagues and students recount that he never once missed his circle—not even on the day his sister passed away.
He buried her and immediately returned to his students to continue the lesson. Such dedication defined his life.
Generations of students learned at his feet, many of whom went on to become teachers themselves.
