Haji Ali Kantali ،a Turkish citizen had been praying all his life for late King Saud , the second king of Saudi Arabia may God have mercy on their souls . Haj Ali had passed away four days ago in his village in Turku ,near the city of Bursa at the age of 98 years old.
The first 10 years of his marriage were sterile . Doctors in his country said it is impossible for his wife getting pregnant due to the severe sterility. One of the scholars of his country instructed him to go to Mecca for a Umrah and pray forAllah “inside the Kaaba” if he could, to give him children . So he went to Makkah and after many unsuccessful attempts, to enter the Kaaba it was difficult for him to enter .so one of the people there ,instructed him that King Saud will enter the Kaaba the next day . When King Saud was entering Al-Kaaba ,Hajj Ali jumped on the stairs but the soldiers stopped him. King Saud asked the guards : “What does this man wants?” They said he wants to enter the Kaaba, so he ordered his entry.
King Saud allowed him to enter the Kaaba (which is rarely opened for visitors). After he returned home , God answered his prayers and his wife got pregnant as he prayed for . May God have mercy on the soul of King Saud for this mercy and benevolence, God loves the doers of good and the merciful. Al-Hajj Ali returned to his village and after four months of his return the first pregnancy happened, then he had five children (three boys and two girls).
One of them is called Muhammad, a graduate of Umm Al-Qura University and the head of preachers in Umm Al-Qura, and the second is Dr. Khalil, a graduate of Umm Al-Qura University, where he obtained a bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate in hadith. Among his teachers were Sheikh Abdullah bin Humaid and Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baz may God have mercy on them.
And now he gives a lecture every Saturday after the noon prayer in the Aya Sophia Mosque in Istanbul, and it is broadcasted live on some satellite channels. May God have mercy on King Saud and may God have mercy on Hajj Ali and may God reward him for his prayers for King Saud throughout his life, may God bless them.
