Martin Lings passed away

Innalillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.

Abu Bakr Siraj ad Deen Martin Lings, the author of Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources, passed away recently. Al-fatihah.

I learned about this news a little late. I remember this particular book when I took Islamic studies in college. I believe his books are widely referred to in colleges and universities all over the world as well vital references for many people. May Allah reward his good deeds and grants him forgiveness.

Thanks Sunni Sister for the news.
