O mankind! We created you from male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. Truly, the most honoured of you in God's sight is the greatest of you in piety. God is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Qur'an, 49:13)

The great Ethiopian Muslim Scholar, Shaykh Muhammad Wolie, died on Sept. 10, 2005. Inna Lillahi We'Inna Ilehi Raji'oun (We belong to Allah and to Him is our return). Ethiopian Muslims around the world are shocked and grieved by his unexpected departure. It is a great loss for Ethiopians in general and Ethiopian Muslims in particular.

Muslims all over the word are expressing their condolences, asking Allah (swt) to admit our father to Jenat-el-firdous, wishing patience and strength for the family, relatives and the Muslims Umma. The following are those that NEME has received through the online form it has prepared.

Every new message received is placed at the top.

Badr International Ethiopian Muslims Federation Conveys its Condolences to the family of late Sheikh Mohamed Wolie

In the Name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

All praises due to Allah (SWT) the Almighty who gives lives and cause death whose provision is so great and vast that His bounties never decrease, He who controls the affairs of all things in the universe without His knowledge and His authority so single creation cannot move or pause. To Him belongs everything that is in between the havens and the earth, living or non-living and last all things return to Him.

Families, Relatives and Friends of Sheikh Mohammed Wolie

Assalamu Alaikm Wa rahmatullih Wa barakatuh

On behalf of BADR Board Members, we would like to express our heartfelt sorrow and grief on the loss of this great Sheikh and we beseech Allah (SWT) to shower him with his mercy, grant him Jannatl Al-Firdaws and patience to his family, relatives, and loved ones

Our Sheikh was our religious leader and a father for all of us especially for the Ethiopian Muslims. He was our teacher, scholar who lived a life of dignity and honor by pursuing his passion of propagating this Deen unabated by the challenges or barriers.

He will be remembered by his generation, and generations to come. He had the wherewithal to persevere in his endeavours to educate Muslims in general and Ethiopian Muslims in particular. He humbled himself in front of another believer, and for this Allah raised his status here in this life and granted him to be rested at His Holly Mosque (Makkah-Mukarramah)

Indeed our beloved Haji Mohammed is not only a great loss for Ethiopia, but also a great loss for the Muslim Ummah. We ask Allah (S.W.) to endow Ethiopian Muslims with Al-D’ai’ (propagator) of his caliber.

Badr Board Members.

Words are not enough to express the shock and grief we felt by the news of the demise of our teacher and leader Shaykh Mohammed Ahmed Wolie.

We bereft of this great learned personality. By the death of our Shaykh, a vacuum is created which seems difficult to fill.He thought us the welfare and progress of the ummah depends on co-operation and unity. We ask Allah (SW) to comfort his family and give us will to follow his advice.

May Allah (SW) accept his services and grant him the highest place in His Jannat-Ul-Firdous.

Family and Relatives of our loved Sheikh Mohamed Wolie

Assalamu-Alaikum WorahmatuLLah

On behalf of the Ethiopian Canadian Muslim Community and Board Members of Badr International Ethiopian Muslims Federation, I would like to convey my deepest sorrow and grief of losing a gifted Mufti and scholar that Ethiopia ever had (Sheikh Mohamed Wolie)

Many of our community members who were sincerely following his on line lectures and recorded programs would miss him for ever.

His courageous and talented spiritual leadership and focusing his life in teaching true Islam to Muslims in general and Ethiopian Muslims particular made him a great figure of his kind in our country.

I believe that in order for him to be honored and rewarded more by Allah; we should exercise what he has thought us.

Finally, I ask Subhanuhu WataAl’ to comfort his family and relatives with his bounty and patience and also, I pray that Allah grant him Jannah. A’miin
