In New Zealand we have Maulana Bashir Ahmed Diwan (DB) who 's in his 80's. He started his studies at Madressa Jamiah Islamiah Talimuddin Dabhel and for his final year, he went for Daura Hadith at Darul-Uloom Deoband in the 1940's and has Ijazah in Hadith from Shaykhul-Ul-Islam Hadhrat Maulana Sayyed Husain Ahmed Madani Rahmatullahi Alaihi. He was a sathi of the great Muballigh and golden voice of Tabligh, Hadhrat Maulana Muhammad Umar Palanpuri Rahmatullahi Alaihi.

He was in Fiji and served the muslim community there from the 1940's to 2000, around 55 years and has been in New Zealand for the last 12 years and Masha-Allah, is still serving the muslim community.

He was Pesh Imam of Jame Masjid Suva, Fiji since it opened in 1965 till 2000 (35 years) when he came to New Zealand.

Through his hikmah, a lot of the bid'ah that was prevalent in the muslim community in Fiji was wiped out. An interesting incident, the day Maulana Bashir Ahmed Diwan (DB) arrived in Fiji, the local muslims invited him for a Milad programme. He says that if on that day he spoke out against milad, bid'ah, Barelvi etc, he would have been on the next ship back to India.

He has students that are now in Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada.

Another hidden gem is in moulana tariq jameel's madarassa. He is know as Moulana Ubaidullah who is khalifa of khwaja khan sahib (ra). Even I did not know until some of the students studying in that madarassa informed me.

He is really old, just like Moulana nazarul Rahman (db).

It is with great sorrow that we received the news of the passing of Maulana Ahmad Garda ra of South Africa from South Africa on Eid day

The thought crossed my mind that had we came to know of him prior to his passing away, we would have tried to get as much benefit from him as possible, as we know that there are no students of Allamah Uthmani (ra) who are still alive.

The purpose of this thread is to attempt to gather details of our Akaabir/Buzurgs/Shuyookh who are still alive and around us so that we may know about them and take benefit from them, maybe even gaizning ijaazah in Qur'an/Hadith from them..
