I hope everyone is in the best health and emaan during this blessed month.
Does anyone know who the old man is behind the Imam at the Haram, he has a white beard and quite frail and old, he is in a wheel chair this year, alhamdulillah may Allah grant him strength. He is always there who is he?
"Lo! the Hour is surely coming, there is no doubt thereof; yet most of mankind believe not." (Al-Ghafir:59)
lol interesting thread.
I could be mistaken but I think he used to lead Maghrib prayer, sometimes even Isha. He has a distinct voice im sure you would instantly recognise it. According to my father he was in an accident (which explains the wheelchair) and he also lost his son. Allahu A'lam.
It is Allah, except Whom there is no God; the King, the Pure, the Giver of Peace, the Bestower of Safety, the Protector, the Most Honourable, the Compeller, the Proud; Purity is to Allah from all what they ascribe as partners (to Him)! Al-Quran 59:23
It would be so kool if they never had no security though.. 'Umar (radhiAllaahu anhu) got stabbed in salaah.. but he was a shaheed insha'Allaah.
Yeah but I think you're supposed to tie up your camel and then trust in Allah, I think. I mean you shouldn't walk aimlessly in a mine field in the hope that you will be a shaheed, even if you were fighting the enemy.
We are here talking about him because we see him whenever we watch the Masjid prayers in Taraweeh. But he is in a different continent from most of us, and he doesn't even know there are foreign people discussing him
Scary, isn't it?
"It will be said to the pious believers in Islamic Monotheism: 'Oh you, the one in complete rest and satisfaction! Come back to your Lord well rested and well pleased!

Are you sure that wasn't Sheikh Subbayl? I don't know about him being involved in an accident however, but this son may Allah have mercy on him was and he passed away.
I don't think the man in the wheelchair is Sheikh Subayyal. Bro Abdullah Saood was asked about that man previously, and if it was Sheikh Subayyal, he would have said so. Its somebody else..
And yes, Sheikh Subayyal's son had a car accident from which he died shortly after. Allah knows best if Sheikh Subayyal also has been in an accident.. I think that would have made it to the news by now though..
We dont even know him but we love him for the sake of Allah.
True brother Ahmed.

Umar ibn Muhammad as-Subayyal
Shaykh 'Umar ibn Muhammad as-Subayyal passes away...
Shaykh 'Umar ibn Muhammad as-Subayyal, 43, who was an imaam and khateeb of al-Masjid al-Haraam in Makkah for the past 11 years, died at the Armed Forces Hospital in Hada near Taif yesterday after entering a coma two weeks ago following a traffic accident.
Funeral prayers for the imaam will be held at al-Masjid al-Haraam today after Salaat al-'Asr.
Shaykh 'Umar, who was the youngest of the imaams of al-Masjid al-Haraam, is survived by his wife and seven children - four sons and three daughters.
Shaykh Muhammad as-Subayyal, former Head of the Presidency for the Two Holy Mosques’ Affairs, has received messages of condolence from a large number of people within the Kingdom and abroad.
The accident that led to Shaykh 'Umar’s death took place while he was travelling on the Taif-Riyadh Expressway with his family.
Born in Bakhayriyah in the Qaseem region in 1958, Shaykh 'Umar received his religious education from prominent Islaamic scholars, including the late Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz. He received his doctorate from Umm al-Quraa in 1991.
In 1992 he was appointed a lecturer at Imaam Muhammad ibn Saud University in Riyadh. The following year he moved to Umm al-Quraa and was appointed imaam of al-Masjid al-Haraam and head of the Sharee'ah College.
In 1995, Shaykh 'Umar was named director of the Higher Islaamic Studies Center and undersecretary of the College of Sharee'ah and Islaamic Studies at Umm al-Quraa. Two years later, he was appointed principal of the college.
Did the Sheikh (Rahimahullah) used to recite like his father, Sheikh Subayyal?
***** قال ابن أبي مليكة : أدركت ثلاثين من أصحاب النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - كلهم يخاف النفاق على نفسه
Ibn Abī Mulaykah said: "I encountered thirty Companions of the Prophet, every one of them fearing hypocrisy for himself." [Muslim]

click on the archives page, last option on the right hand side and khutbahs year 1422. have some of him
Maybe he is of those whom Allah has placed love for in everyone's hearts. We dont even know him but we love him for the sake of Allah.
So true, he has this thing about him that you just wanna respect him
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
I have a video from Ramadhan 1994. There is an Imam who,leads Salaat-ul-Maghrib, sounds so similar to Sheikh Subayyal. I think that may be him

loq, I should have been more clear in the way I said that. I knew about Sheikh 'Umar as Subayyal passing away from a car accident, as I said. But I thought the sis was also saying that Sheikh Muhammad as Subayyal had been in an accident recently..
"...You are my Walî in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die as a Muslim, and join me with the righteous." [Surah Yusuf 101]
Shk. Umar Subbayl Had A Voice Kinda Like His Father...And Yup It Was A GREAT Voice...Check It Y'All...Eid Prayer Year 2000/2001 Masjid Al Haram...Sooo Nice MashaAllah...

I dont know sis, Allah knows best..
