Adhkaar from after the ’Asr Salaah on Saturday, 26th September 2009 at al-Jaami''a Masjid in Stegman Road, Claremont, will recall the fortieth anniversary of the death of al-Shahid Imam Abdullah Haron. The dhikrullah will start from after the Maghrib Salaah, followed by the ''Isha Salaah, the reading from the Giyarwee Sharif by the ’Ibaad-u-Ragmaan Qadiri Jamaa’ah and a short lecture on Islam. Everyone is asked to take part.
The officiating Imam at al-Jaami''a Masjid at the time, Imam Abdullah Haron had read the closing du’aa at the Qadiriyyah gatherings. He had studied in Mecca and loved adhkaar. His Uwaisi spiritual connection was through Sheikh Yusuf bin ’Abdullah al-Taj al-Khalwati al-Makaasari.
Arrested by the apartheid security police just after he had led the al-Jaami''a Masjid Milad al-Nabi celebrations on 12 Rabi al-Auwal 1389AH (28 May 1969), he was held under Section 6(1) of the Terrorism Act of 1967 until his death on Saturday, 27th September 1969. He had been starved, interrogated and tortured (May Allah, The Eternal, Be Compassionate towards him).
More than thirty thousand people had crammed into City Park in Crawford for his funeral. Grief showed on the faces of mourners. Muslim anger seethed. Abduragman Galant called the faithful to prayer. Imam Saliem Davids led the prayer for the deceased. The burial procession was the largest in the history of Cape Town, after that of the famous Muslim saint Sayed ''Abd Al-Rahim ibn Muhammad al-Iraqi. It stretched for miles. Imam Abdullah Haron was buried at 4pm on Monday, 29th September 1969. His grave is close to the entrance of the Mowbray Cemetery and is fittingly, adjacent to that of al-Sayed ''Abd Al-Rahim ibn Muhammad al-Iraqi. Imam Abdullah Haron was forty-five years old at the time of his death.
