Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab
Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab, was born in 1115 H. in the city of Uyainah, seventy kilometers northwest of Riyadh, the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He acquired his primary education from his esteemed father at his native place and was nurtured under his guidance. He was intelligent enough to memorize the Qur’an by heart at the very tender age of ten only. He read the books on Tafseer (exegesis), Hadith and Fiqh. From the very outset, he was greatly interested in studying the works of early scholars, particularly those of Sheikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taimiyah and his noble disciple Allamah Ibn Qaiyim. He went through all those books and well grasped the contents. On attaining the age of maturity, he set out to perform Hajj at Makkah and derived benefits from the scholars there. He then proceeded to Al-Madinah, met the learned ones there, and adopted the studentship of two renowned erudite, Sheikh Abdullah bin Ibrahim bin Sa’id Najdi and Sheikh Muhammad Hayat Sindhi for a long period. Out of the curiosity for higher education, he took also the journey to Iraq and Basrah and got himself benefited there.
Customer review:
A really great book for an equally important category, the ‘Aqeedah of Muslims. Reading might take some time due to the nature of the book with the footnotes containing substantial material as well with the reader flipping pages back and forth to remain on track. Or at least this was my case, however, this is not supposed to deter anybody for I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
The original text is presented with explanation provided in the footnotes, with the footnotes sometimes being 2 pages or more for one point. Even if you have read other commentaries before, I would still recommend you read this one.
