A panel discussion on the life and impact of the monumental scholar and our teacher, Mufti, Mln Taha Karaan RA (1969 - 2021). Ml Taha Karaan was a Shafi’i scholar born in Cape Town, South Africa to a family renowned in both its maternal and paternal lineage for Islamic scholarship.

Ml Taha is the founder of Darul Ulum al-Arabiyyah al-Islamiyyah as well as the mufti of the MJC. He is an internationally acclaimed scholar that has mastered a number of sciences.

His students have described him as divinely-gifted with encyclopedic knowledge; possessed of a near-photographic memory; an insatiable bibliophile within the Islamic sciences and without; a teacher that never ceases to inspire; endowed with an elegant calligraphic hand and a penchant for poetry; thoroughly unassuming, pleasant, brilliant and tender-hearted.

His loss has been sorely felt throughout the world and tributes have flowed in from all over the world.

May Allah bless him with the highest station in Paradise and continue his legacy in this world.
