RE ‘Blackburn Islamic leader killed in Medina hotel blaze’ (LT, February 10) – he will be very sadly missed by all that have known such a humble scholar.

He taught so many to memorise the Quran (Hifz), and we were blessed to have him as a teacher, as were the Muslims of Edinburgh for many years before he moved to Blackburn.

May he be rewarded with high abode in paradise, and our thoughts are with his whole family.
