May Allah have mercy upon our scholars. Shaikh Bakri Tarabishi (RA) from Damascus has passed away in Dubai and the Jazanazah was led by Shaikh Habeeb Ali Jifri.
He was one of the most pious of the Ulama that I have had the honour of meeting and one of the greatest teachers of the Quran from the old generation. In the past few years we have lost great Qurra such as Shaikh al-Muqri Muhuddin Kurdi (RA) and Shaikh Mohammed Sukkar (RA). Shaikh (RA) was constantly dedicating his time to his students until he became bed-ridden and very ill around 2010. I last met Shaikh in 2010 in Muhajireen, Damascus and he was very ill and kindly apologized for not being able to have guests.
اللهم اغفر له وارحمه وعافه واعف عنه وأكرم نزله ووسع مدخله واغسله بالماء والثلج والبرد ونقه من الخطايا كما ينقى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس اللهم أبدله دارا خيرا من داره وأهلا خيرا من أهله اللهم أدخله الجنة وأعذه من عذاب القبر ومن عذاب النار
