Mawlana Din-Mohammad’s guiding thought was service to the people; his children and students should continue his path

Shaikh-ul-Islam Mawlana Abdolhamid , speaking today, Monday (December 22nd, 2025), at the funeral of Mawlana Din-Mohammad Dorrakani (may Allah have mercy on him)—the director of the Ta‘lim al-Qur’an religious school in Shurshadi—described him as “an exemplary scholar and an ascetic,” and stated that “Mawlana Din-Mohammad’s (may Allah have mercy on him) thought and concern were service to the people.” He urged his children and students to carry on the same path.
According to the Information Portal of the Office of the Sunni Friday Prayer Leader of Zahedan, Mawlana Abdolhamid , addressing the ceremony—which was held with a large turnout of various segments of the public at the central cemetery of Sarjangal, a locality of the Kurin district in Zahedan County—began by offering condolences to all scholars, Friday prayer leaders, elders, educators, and the dear people who had come from across Sistan and Baluchestan Province, South Khorasan, and from near and far to bid farewell to Mawlana Din-Mohammad and participate in his funeral prayer. He said: “The entire region supported Mawlana Din-Mohammad. His thought, and that of other scholars and awakened people, has been service to the people. We must continue their objectives.”
He added: “In the final moments of his life, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) watched the Companions praying, and his blessed eyes were comforted by their prayer—people who had once been idol-worshippers and then became devout and close to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was pleased to see that the aims of the mission were advancing.”
The Friday Prayer Leader of Zahedan continued: “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not bequeath that people should take care of his children after him; rather, he said: hold firmly to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah. The Qur’an is the Book of Allah and the best guide that will remain until the Day of Resurrection. As long as you firmly adhere to the Qur’an and the teachings of the Messenger of Allah, you will not go astray.”
Mawlana Abdolhamid stated: “Mawlana Din-Mohammad (may Allah have mercy on him) devoted all his time to study, learning, teaching, and writing. Allah the Exalted had granted him a fluent pen. He was concerned about the fate of his school and his personal library after him, but toward the end of his life he was grateful and content that his children would be able to continue his path.”

🔹 Mawlana Din-Mohammad was devoted to knowledge and study; he lived a simple, ascetic life
Continuing his remarks and referring to Mawlana Din-Mohammad’s scholarly standing, the Director of Dar al-Ulum Zahedan emphasized: “Mawlana Din-Mohammad was devoted to knowledge and study, paid no attention to worldly matters, and lived a poor and ascetic life. He was a model of a dervish scholar who thought only of knowledge and its dissemination, and he trained outstanding students. Mawlana Mohammad-Hossein Gargij [Director of Dar al-Ulum Faruqiyya, Galikesh] is one of the finest examples among his students.”
He added: “The students of Mawlana Din-Mohammad are his enduring deeds, a source of good for the region, and the fruit of public support for religious schools and godly scholars.”
Mawlana Abdolhamid noted: “My advice to the biological and spiritual children of Mawlana Din-Mohammad (may Allah have mercy on him) is to continue his approach. This is the right of a father over his child and the right of Mawlana Din-Mohammad over you—that you support the school. Let the body of teachers and the children of Mawlana Din-Mohammad (may Allah have mercy on him) not feel alone; all the people and various segments of society support them and stand in the service of religion and knowledge.”

🔹 The large public turnout at the funeral ‘indicates Mawlana Din-Mohammad’s popularity on earth and in heaven’
In closing, referring to the broad presence of scholars and people from different walks of life at the funeral, the Friday Prayer Leader of Zahedan said: “This extensive presence indicates Mawlana Din-Mohammad’s popularity in heaven and on earth, and shows the rank he held among the people and in the presence of Allah the Exalted.”
