Raja Kecil Sulung Perak, Raja Ashman Shah Sultan Azlan Muhibbudin Shah mangkat pagi tadi di kediamannya di Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur.
Berita kemangkatan Raja Ashman juga menarik perhatian pengikut-pengikut tariqat Naqshabandi seluruh dunia selepas blog peribadi pemimpin tariqat tersebut, Sheikh Hashim Kabbani antara yang paling awal menyiarkan berita tersebut.
Menurut kenyataan di dalam blog tersebut, Shaikh Hashim Kabbani merakamkan takziah atas pemergian Raja Ashman, dan meminta semua pengikut tariqat tersebut mengadakan bacaan tahlil, yassin dan solat jenazah ghaib.
"Lidah tidak dapat mengungkap simpati dan kasih sayang kami kepada Raja Asman, ia merupakan satu kehilangan besar kepada Maulana Sheikh Nazim Haqqani dan semua murid," kata kenyataan tersebut.
Jelas kenyataan itu lagi, Raja Ashman mangkat sejurus majlis zikir malam tadi.
Raja Ashman dikenali sebagai penaung tariqat Naqshabandi yang amat dihormati di seluruh dunia. Beliau mengadakan majlis zikir di kediaman Bukit Damansara setiap malam Jumaat.
"Kami memohon kepada Allah SWT memberikan ketabahan kepada keluarganya, isteri dan anak-anak," kata kenyataan tersebut.-30/3/2012

Bismillahi’ r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem
إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji`oon. To Allah we belong and unto Him do we return.
On behalf of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani and his family: Hajjah Naziha, Shaykh Muhammad, Hajj Baheddin, Hajjah Ruqiyya, Shaykh Hisham and Feridun and all grandchildren of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and on behalf of all Naqshbandis around the world we express our deepest condolences for the passing of His Royal Highness Raja Ashman bin Azlan Shah.
The tongue cannot express the warm sympathy and love that we all had for Raja Ashman. It is an extraordinary tragedy and a great loss to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim and all his mureeds and everyone of us feels it intensely.
He left this life immediately after doing dhikr tonight. We request all mureeds to make salat al-janaza al-ghaib for him in their mosques or homes, asking Allah that his soul be with the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wassallam and with Grandshaykh `Abdullah al-Fa’iz ad-Daghestani Alayhi Rahma. We ask everyone to do tahlil by reciting Surah Yasin and dhikr and dedicating it to his soul.
We express the deep condolences of all the mureeds of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim around the world and especially in Malaysia.
We ask Allah swt to give patience and perseverance to his family, his wife, his children, his father Sultan of Perak and his mother the Queen of Perak and all his sisters and his brother Raja Muda.
Sincerely,
Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
