The passing of Imam Hadrat Abu Bakr (Radiyallahu Anhu) رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ Ahmad ibn al-Husayn al-Bayhaqi, one of the most prolific hadith scholars in Islamic history. He authored the monumental Al-Sunan al-Kubra (10 volumes), Shu'ab al-Iman (branches of faith), and Dala'il al-Nubuwwah (proofs of Prophethood). Born in Bayhaq (Khorasan), he was a master of both hadith and Shafi'i jurisprudence.

The passing of Sultan al-Ulama (Sultan of Scholars) Izz al-Din ibn Abd al-Salam, one of the greatest Shafi'i scholars. Known for his fearless defence of Islamic principles against unjust rulers, he issued landmark rulings on the protection of the rights of enslaved people and public welfare. His Qawa'id al-Ahkam (Principles of Rulings) is a foundational text on Islamic legal theory and the objectives of Shariah (maqasid).
