He Taught Us the Qur'aan

Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem

His hometown is Offa
In 1996 he arrived in the hot-cold city of Kaduna
Just from Gusau with a beautiful art of recitation
Not of lyrics but the Book of Allaah
We were lucky to be his first set
He taught us the Qur'aan and we cherished it
The makhaarij and sifaat he put on our tongues
Making us articulate At-Tanzeel as if we were born with it
Some few weeks back some of us didn't know
Taa from Yaa

Allaah is indeed Merciful.

Mallam Abdulwaasi Kilaanee may Allaah grant your wish

May He by the love you have for
His Book and Sunnah of His Messenger
Alayhi afdalus-Salaat - correct your sight
So that you can read more of it
For looking at the letters of the Qur'aan is worship.

Yes he told me when we were parting:

'Never you learn under a person of Bid'ah'
That's been our watchword ever since
We remember all that
And his tenacity on Sunnah
He would pray
As the Prophet -salaLlaahu alayhi wa sallam-
Used to pray
Raising the hands between the Takbeeraat

And Jalsah Istiraa'ah


Al-Kilaanee Al-Offawee

We beseech Allaah for goodness for you
In this dunya and aakhira

May we be included in the barakah of our supplications
Allahumma Aamiyn.
