The following article is a transcribed interview conducted with
Umm ‘Abdillaah, wife of Sheikh ibn ‘Uthaymeen رحمه
الله.
Question 1: Was there any change in the motivation of the Sheikh regarding ‘ilm (knowledge), da’wah, and worship between his youth and his elder years?
Answer: I did not find any diminishing or weakness in his motivation in knowledge, da’wah, and worship despite his advancing age. On the contrary, his busy schedule continued to increase with time, as was the case with his worship and call, to the extent that during his intense illness, he was not negligent with one moment; he would spend every second in the remembrance of Allaah (سُبحانه وتعالى), worshiping Him, teaching, or directing.
Question
2: What
did you see that was amazing in the Sheikh’s life?
Answer: His life was an example to follow, especially his patience and motivation to seek the knowledge as well as teach and disseminate it. Also, his piety was something that those who were not close to him may not have known about.
