Celebrating Sheikh Abduljabbar @53: A Life Committed to Tolerance, and Challenging Extremism.
Aliyu Samba
On this momentous occasion of Sheikh Abduljabbar Kabara's 53rd birthday, we celebrate his remarkable life achievements and his tireless efforts in curbing religious intolerance and extremism. Sheikh Abduljabbar has dedicated himself to scrutinizing the Hadith attributed to Prophet Muhammad ï·º, promoting ethical values, and guiding youth on a spiritual journey through the Qadiriyyah path.
His mission to curb religious intolerance and extremism extends beyond the realm of spirituality. His meticulous scrutiny of Hadith attributed to Prophet Muhammad aims to ensure that they align with the ethical values and teachings of the beloved Prophet ï·º and his progeny. By critically examining these texts, Sheikh Abduljabbar helps dispel misinterpretations and prevent the distortion of Islamic teachings for extremist agendas.
The establishment of the Islamic center, Mujamma'u Ashabil Kahfi warraqeem, stands as a testament to Sheikh Abduljabbar's commitment to nurturing spirituality and providing a platform for youth to embark on a scholarly and spiritual journey. Through the Qadiriyyah Riyadul Jannah path, Sheikh Abduljabbar encourages individuals to purify their souls and deepen their connection with Allah. Introducing Riyadul Jannah, a circle of remembrance of Allah, reflects his dedication to fostering a spiritual awakening and creating an environment of love, peace, and divine closeness.
Sheikh Abduljabbar's written works have played a crucial role in challenging extremist ideologies and refuting false allegations against Sufi adherents and the Shiite community. His book, "Muqaddimatul Azifa," sheds light on the teachings of the Wahabi sect and exposes the roots of extremism and intolerance within their doctrine. Additionally, "Al-ababeel ala jamajamil ma'ajil" serves as a powerful rebuttal against baseless accusations levied against Sufi adherents, while "Jauful Fara" offers a comprehensive Quranic commentary that encompasses various fields of knowledge, bridging the gap between theology, jurisprudence, logic, history, philosophy, and science.
His unwavering dedication has not gone unnoticed by those threatened by his teachings. False accusations of blasphemy and the subsequent death sentence he faced during Governor Ganduje's administration were clear attempts to silence his influential voice. These accusations were politicized, denying Sheikh Abduljabbar his fundamental rights and obstructing the pursuit of justice. Furthermore, his collision with scholars who perceive his teachings as a challenge to their views has added to the obstacles he confronts in his mission to promote tolerance and understanding.
As we celebrate Sheikh Abduljabbar Kabara's 53rd birthday, we recognize his immense contributions to curbing religious intolerance and extremism. His scholarly pursuits, the establishment of the Mujamma'u Ashabil Kahfi warraqeem Islamic Center, and the extensive literary works, he has tirelessly championed stands as a testament to his commitment to promoting dialogue and understanding. While false accusations and the politicization of his case have posed significant challenges, Sheikh Abduljabbar's resilience remains unwavering. It is our collective responsibility to champion justice, protect fundamental rights, and support those who strive for a more inclusive and tolerant society.
Happy Birthday Sheikh Abduljabbar Kabara.
