On Thursday night, 12 January 2017 (15 Rabiul Akhir 1438), Professor Jamaluddin Atiyyah passed away at the age of 89. He possessed the mind and intellect of a great servant of the Ummah and of the contemporary Muslim world. We deeply mourn the demise of this great leader. The passing of this great man evokes the Prophetic tradition: “God does not take away knowledge by taking it away from the hearts of the people, but He takes it away by the death of the religious learned man.”
