In the name of Allaah, the most merciful, the bestower of mercy.
As-salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullaah.
Shaikh Abdullaah Ghudayaan (rahimahullaah) used to deliver regular classes with Salafi Publications completing many chapters in explanation of Kitaab at-Tawheed. He participated in several conferences with the brothers at al-Maktabah as-Salafiyyah and became close to them as a father would be towards his children – he would go out his way from his busy schedule to teach them. Likewise the brothers in Riyaadh mention how the Shaikh used to show much concern for the brothers who had moved to Riyaadh from the West and he would give them time specifically to teach them, so we feel the sadness at the loss of our kind, beloved Shaikh, may Allaah have mercy upon him.

Trying To Build Society based on Peace and Justice
The one who love Imam e zaman(a.t.f.s) must be prepared to struggle and
labour his self, his pen and his wealth in the way of Imam e
zaman(a.t.f.s)
I remember the words of Imam (a.s), that we are responsible for the
duty, and not for the result. A warm smile washes away the tension of
confusion, as I thank Allah for the presence of my friend, whom Allah
may protect, and guide
IMAM E ZAMANA (a.f.t.s) Bless you And All Your Family those help others
and learn islam.
