    SRI lANKAN MUSLIMS HAVE LOST A GREAT PERSONALITY. HE WAS A BRIDGE TO TAKE VIEWS OF THE MUSLIMS TO H.E.The President MAHINDA RAJAPAKSE. HIS APPROACH TO THE NON-MUSLIMS WAS VERY DIPLOMATIC AND PASSED OUR HOLY BELOVED PROPHETS MUHAMMED'S MESSAGE TO THE NON-MUSLIMS EVEN IN A SMALL WAY. MAY HE ENTER JENNATHUL FIRDHOUSE. AMEEN

    "Niyas Moulavi" as we all knew him suddently have passed away from us and we all have to follow him. May The Almighty forgive him and accept him as a 'winner of the hereafter'. we should not utter anything bad about a dead person because he/she has been already rewarded for their deeds.

    GLORY TO THE ONE WHO CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH .

    THE REAL INHERITORS OF THE PROPHETS ARE HIS HONEST ULEMA .EVEN IN SAUDI ARABIA TRUE ULEMAS DO NOT PATRONIZE THE KINGS , PRINCESES AND DIRTY POLITICIANS.

    LIFE AND DEATH IS A COMMON THING CREATED BY ALLAH

    I AM REALLY SAD A ( ULEMA ) AS INHERITORS OF PROPHETS KNOWLEDGE HE SHOULD HAVE ENDED ON MUCH HIGHER CREDIBILITY .

    BUILDING OF BRIDGES NEED NOT NECESSARILY BE CARRIED OUT ONLY BY DRAMATIC POLITICAL ALIGNMENTS WE MAY END ON THE WORST SIDE YET AND THOUGH

    MAY ALLAH PARDON HIM, ELEVATE HIS STATUS ,REWARD FOR HIS CALLING PEOPLE TO THE TRUTH,GIVE STRENGTH TO HIS KITH AND KIN TO OVERCOME THIS LOSS , GRANT THEM A BETTER ALTERNATIVE AND GRANT HIM THE SUPREME BLISS OF ( JENNTHUL FIRDOUSE) PARADISE

    Alhaj Niyas mowlavi's passing away is immature at this time,when through his TV particiapation programmem the non muslime-got the opportunity of the goodness of ISLAM AND muslims. It cannot be denied that non-Muslims benefited out of this and they understood ISLAM than before. He could have continued and conveyed the total message of the PROPHET MUHAMMAD AND BROUGHT PEACE AND HARMONY TO ALL COMMUNITIES

    Sicillian Sunday, 04 July 2010 12:08 PM

    May Allah give him high place in heaven. At last we lost a person who spoke for the nation and stopped religious divide. I have not seen a single cleric who speaks so much to bring people together. In addition to this he is the only cleric who was there to welcome the president when he arrived.

    Abdul Sunday, 04 July 2010 07:22 AM

    This is insane...I think when a person dies you don't judge by his political stance. Although I don't agree with his political views, he was seen as a symbol for muslims.

    FAIROZE Sunday, 04 July 2010 07:53 AM

    Fairose Sunday, 04 July 2010 07:32 AM

    May Almighty God bless his soul. He is more of a politician than a cleric. Therefore, it is correct to identify him as a politician who always went to the "Petti Kade" for our great president. The clerics are people who live in accordance with the teachings of the faith and conscious.
