Dear my great and brave father
"He kept me in the shadows and he kept burning himself
"He kept me in the shadows and he kept burning himself
I saw an angel in the shadow of the Father. "
There is a great blessing in the rewards given by God the Father. The father is the canopy of compassion and protection in whose shadow the children grow up. Whatever a man is, it is because of his father. As soon as the shadow of the father rises from the head of health, a heavy burden and responsibility fall on the head of the children.
My great father, Inamullah Khan Tarangzai, was the person who brought up all our brothers and sisters with great care and affection, fulfilled our every need and desire and never gave us harsh words or pain. He was like a good friend to us and we talked to him openly like friends. The nature of the father included tenderness of heart, love, and compassion. Love, affection, and compassion were so essential to human instincts, but if ever a chicken or a bird was reared, they would be so fond of Baba that they would come running to see Baba and sit on his shoulder.
Despite our economic turmoil, he taught us to read and write, endowed us with religious and secular education, and brought us every blessing of the world, even if we slept hungrily, but He would definitely feed us. We never let tears come to our eyes, we could not bear it. We were never angry or scolded, but we would joke like friends so that no one would be angry with us.
If you sometimes scolded and angered someone for a legitimate mistake, it would be a loving scolding. And after some time of scolding, he would immediately agree with him and no matter how big an opponent or a disliked person would come forward and say two or three sweet things, then Baba would treat him the same as his own. Yes, one of its attributes was that it never tolerated illegitimate talk and opposition and hypocrisy in matters of religion and the Qur'an.
My Baba Jan was also a great man and a practical example of bravery and courage. He was a great man because he spent almost forty years in the service of God's great book, the Holy Qur'an. We have had a Banat Madrasa in our house for 40 years in which our mother teaches the translation of the Holy Quran to the students and women of the area. This process was started by our mother as soon as she came to Peshawar, from which, thanks to Allah, thousands of female students have so far benefited from the benefit of view and translation of the Holy Qur'an. And now hundreds of mother's disciples have opened regular madrassas and are busy spreading the light of the Qur'an.
Praise be to Allah. The same process is still going on in our house. My respected father had fully supported his mother in the invitation and service of this Qur'an and both of them had dedicated themselves for this great work and purpose. We, the brothers and sisters, have read the Holy Qur'an from our mother in our own homes, and thanks to her training, today Allah has blessed us with the great blessing of knowledge of religion.
When we started teaching the Qur'an in the Afghan Colony in August 2008, my father was very supportive and every sacrifice was like a young man's chest. Later we bought a plot for Madrasa Ta'leem-ul-Quran to take care of all the services and needs of the institution and protect all the students like our sons and daughters, and until the students have a holiday They used to sit outside the madrassa for security. The whole area was proud of Babaji's service and every man and woman felt safe and satisfied in Babaji's presence.
He was a kind-hearted man with a burning and painful heart of humanity. Whenever he saw a stray traveler, he would straighten him out and take a few steps to guide him despite his weakness, and if he found a boy, he would guide him. Accompanied so that the passenger is left at the door of the host and no guest gets in trouble. If anyone needed water, they would take it out of the house and put it there. Whenever there was a problem in the neighborhood, Babaji would be seen standing in the front row for service. The whole area was inhabited by him. With his departure, the area became an orphan.
My Baba Jan was a very brave and courageous man, he never feared anyone except Allah Almighty. When we started teaching the Holy Qur'an, some people in the first ignorance started opposing someone's conspiracy out of jealousy and stubbornness. First of all, our Baba Jan stood holding a pistol in his hand. He gave a clear message that if anyone obstructs the way of the Book of Allah, then Allah will not make good decisions for him. Praise be to Allah. The people later came to know the truth and stood by Baba Jan in the service of religion and the Qur'an. Praise be to Allah. Baba Jan bravely served the Qur'an and its students from August 2008 to October 2021.
Baba Jan had been suffering from a chest ailment for almost twenty years, but thanks to the service of his word, Allah had endowed him with youthful vigor and activity. He was a very humble, selfish, gentle-hearted, outspoken, and divine servant. His routine was to get up at three o'clock in the morning, recite Tahajjud regularly, and also give the morning call regularly. And then they would be busy cleaning the mosque.
Most of the time I was working in the downstairs room when I heard the sound of a broom and when I came to the mosque I would find a broom in his hand and he would be cleaning the house of Allah. I would say that Dr. Baba Jan has forbidden you. This dust is not good for your chest. He was a man of strong faith in Allah. He used to say to me, "No, do not stop me from serving the house of Allah, for all sickness and health care in the hands of the person whose house I clean and guard." And this mosque will be a source of healing and salvation for me in the hereafter, God willing.
Two weeks before his death, when we took Baba Jan to the emergency room for the first time due to a chest infection, we came home after a full night of treatment. Only Allah knows, but we want to ask you for our consolation that if there is any negligence on your part in not knowing us or if you have shown your heart, then forgive us from the bottom of your heart. On this, dear father, we all started praying for our brothers and sisters and said that prayers come out of my heart for you and you have not done anything wrong in my favor.
It is my prayer that Allah Almighty protects you from the oppression of every oppressor and that you all remain strong and upright in the work of religion and the Qur'an. Then, three days later, he suddenly fell ill and we took him to the hospital. So the doctors suggested to enter because of a serious infection in the chest, so we were admitted. The treatment continued for two days but the appointed time in the destiny of Allah was to be fulfilled. On Tuesday morning, October 5, 2021, cold sweat started coming on the forehead of my father. And thus the journey to the Hereafter began. Praise be to Allah. Dear Father, Allaah has bestowed a beautiful end. Scholars say that there are a few signs of a beautiful end.
I am dying, the remembrance of the dead continues in the language of good people. Praise be to Allah. We saw all these signs in our father. The funeral was attended by Jim Ghafir of Ulema-e-Talaba and Salihin.
When the eminent scholars came to offer their condolences, everyone would pray to Babajan from the bottom of their hearts and everybody, young and old, men and women, scholars and the people would say that Babajan was a harmless human being and a great servant of the Holy Quran and the Day of Allah. ۔ This Baba Jan did not tell us in his life that when I die, people will say that Babaji of the madrassa has passed away. Because of these good endings, I am satisfied that Babaji must have been forgiven by God Almighty. And after his death, the students of the madrassa have done hundreds of Qur'an recitations for his reward and it is still going on. May Allah exalt their ranks. Amen
