Ustaz Syed Ahmad Semait might not leave a mark
giving wonderful speeches and lectures, but his
dakwah through writing has left a profound impact
in the literary world. Perhaps his most famous and
well received work is the book ‘Nasa-ih Ad-Diniyah
wal Wasaya Al-Imaniyah’ by Imam Abdullah bin
Alawi Al-Haddad, which he translated to Malay
and gave the title ‘ Nasihat Agama dan Wasiat Imam’.
He went to great length to ensure the accuracy and
integrity of his translation, reading the book cover
to cover several times with Sheikh Umar Al-Khatib
and trying to understand the true meaning of every
word and sentence. The book has two editions:
Malay Rumi, and Malay Jawi. The Rumi edition
was printed 8 times, the last one in 2001. The Jawi
edition was printed 7 times, the last one in 2004.He
did not teach many classes. But his famous was the
Ihya’ Ulumiddin class held every Friday after Isyak
prayers at Masjid Abdul Razak. There he would
explain what Imam Al-Ghazali wrote in that book,
and shared what he had gathered from his teacher
Sheikh Umar Al-Khatib in his Sunday morning’s
Ihya’ Ulumiddin class.
Ustaz Syed Ahmad’s last class was on Friday, 14
July 2006. As usual, after Isyak he taught Ihya’
Ulumiddin at Masjid Abdul Razak. After that class,
he took his wife and some of his relatives, to Kuala
Lumpur by car where he had his normal weekly
religious class at a mosque there. It was unsual since
he normally would take the bus.
About 1.10 am, Saturday morning, 15 July 06,
near the 190.1 km mark along the Yong Peng-Pagoh
stretch of the highway, a boar crossed the road. The
car hit it, flung up and overturned. Ustaz Syed
Ahmad and Madam Fatimah, the driver’s sister, were
thrown out of the car. Both were seated beside the
doors.
Ustaz Syed Ahmad passed away at the site of
the accident. He was buried at Batu Pahat, fulfilling
his wish to be buried at wherever he died. He left
behind 3 children.
May Allah bless his soul.
