Assalamo-alaikum-warahmatullahi-wabrakatu
A belated Eid Mabrook to everyone. Allhumdolillah I got back from Umrah last week.
As time is short I just thought I would post about my meeting with Shaykh Salah Budair on the 24th ramadan after Fajr. I have met Shaykh many times before but this was the first real opportunity to sit with him and talk to him properly.
We prayed Fajr which was led by Shaykh Salah and straight after we were told by my friend who is a very close friend of Shaykh Salah and the other imams to meet at Babul Janaiz (the entrance door used by the Imams and also for funerals to go in and out of). Intially we were meant to meet the Shaykh before tahajjud and then after Tahajjud, but Shaykh wanted to meet after Fajr which was fine. (My friend later told me that the Shaykh does not meet people before Salah as he likes to be fully focused on leading salah and does not like any distraction – subhanallah!).
Anyway, we went in and waited on the side for a few minutes and then we ushered in by the security guards into the room on the side of babul janaiz. It’s a medium sized room (this is where the Shaykhs sit and relax) with gold coloured floor sofas, very simple room sunbhanallah. Shaykh stood up to meet us and shook our hands and we embraced and did the customary saudi kissing on the cheek. Mashallah Shaykh is so humble and an awesome personality.
Anyway we talked for 30 minutes about many things, Shaykh asked about the UK, how many traweeh rakats we pray, how many chapters of the quran are recited, about the darul ulooms etc. He made us recite quran and my friend who is muadhin recited the adhan Shaykh Mulla style. I then asked the Shaykh to give me some nasiyah (some advice) he mentioned 5 things subhnallah and he told me to convey this to the people of the UK:
1. Recite the quran, understand it and implement it in your life
2. Follow the sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and implement in your life
3. Have good character and morals, in the home, with colleagues, neighbours, friends and most importantly parents, he then recited the ayah of the Quran in Surah Bani Israeel which mentioned you cannot even say Uff! To your parents
4. Stay away from biddah
5. Dawat Illallah – invite towards allah
Shaykh mentioned he would love to come to the UK and inshallah he has plans to come very soon.
All in all was awesome. What struck me the most was how humble the Shaykh was and he I also noticed that he always kept his eyes down, when we walked out with him from the room he always kept his eyes down and when we got to the door there were hundreds of people waiting outside for him just to see him or shake his hand. I thanked Allah that he had given me opportunity to meet and sit with Shaykh.
My friend also told me that on Eid Day he rang him and told my friend to say Eid Mabrook to me – what an honour.
Inshallah will also post about meeting Shaykh Saleh Talib soon.

MashahAllah , May Allah reward u , JazakAllah khair for sharig , you are very blessed MashahAllah , very lucky indeed .
It is sad how many lies are spead around by some people against the saudi's n even the imams n scholars of saudi arabia , n how some really famous people dont pray behind them , i came across some one really famous whoprayed at his hotel claimimg salah behind these were not valid!!! , subhanAllah , what a loser!
I once said to Ibrahim al-Akhdar – the imam of the Haram in Makkah – “Why do you prevent your sweet voice from being heard by the Muslims who come from everywhere to hear it? How can you request to return to Madinah when some people say that hearing you recite the Qur’an is like hearing it descending fresh from the heavens?”
So, he replied: “My treasures in this world are my grandmother and mother, and I must fulfill my responsibilities to them and treat them well. Nobody can do this but me.”
I said: “Why don’t you bring your grandmother here?”
He said: “She refuses to leave Madinah out of fear that she might die outside of it, and her greatest wish is to be buried in the graveyard of al-Baqi’.”
And indeed, Ibrahim actually left the Haram in Makkah and went back to leading a small mosque in Madinah, sticking to the Paradise that is at the foot of his mother and grandmother…”
