Selam alejkum The Muslim scholar Modern Era (20th century) Sheikh Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani
Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani, Arabic, محمد ناصر الدين الألباني (also al-Albani,
Albani and other variants) (1914 - 1999) was an important and influential Islamic scholar of the 20th Century; he specialised in the fields of hadith and fiqh and was a prodigious writer and speaker.
Life
Al-Albani was born into a poor family in the city of Shkodra, the then capital of Albania. His father, Haaj Nuh Najati al-Albani, had completed Sharia studies in Istanbul and returned to Albania as one of the major Hanafi scholars of the country. During the reign of secularist Ahmet Zogu, al-Albani's family disagreed with the Western-influenced views of the government and migrated to Damascus. In Damascus, he completed his early education, and was taught the Quran, tajwid, Arabic linguistic sciences, Hanafi fiqh and further branches of the religion by a number of Islamic scholars as well as friends of his father.
Al-Albani also learned clock and watch repair from his father, and became highly skilled in the trade. By the age of twenty, he began specializing in the field of Hadith (narrations of Muhammad) and its related sciences, becoming influenced by articles in Al-Manaar magazine. He began work in this field by transcribing Hafiz al-Iraqi's monumental Al-*!Mughnee 'an-hamlil-Asfar fil-Asfar fee takhrej maa fil-lhyaa minal-Akhbar'.
Al-Albani delved further into the Hadith sciences despite discourage*!ment from his father, who hoped he'd pursue easier fields of study. Unable to afford many of the required books, he often borrowed them from the famous Az-Zahiriyah library in Damascus. He became engrossed with his studies to the extent that he sometimes closed his shop and remained in the library for up to twelve hours - breaking only for prayer - not even leaving to eat, preferring to instead take light snacks with him. Eventually the library authorities granted him a special room for his studies, and his own key for access to the library before normal opening time. Often he would remain at work from early morning until after 'Isha prayers in the evening. During this time he produced many useful works - many of which have yet to be printed.
After some time he started giving two weekly classes attended by university students and professors, teaching various books of 'Aqidah, Fiqh, Usul and Hadith. He also began organizing monthly journeys for da'wah to various cities in Syria and Jordan.
Shaykh Muhammad Raaghib aAt-Tabbaakh, a historian and hadith scholar, authorized him with an Ijaazah (certification) to teach his collection of narrations on trustworthy reporters, called "Al-Anwaar Al-Jaliyyah fee Mukhtasar Al-Athbaat Al-Halabiyyah".
After a number of his works appeared in print the Al-Albani was chosen to teach Hadith at the Islamic University of Madinah, for three years (from 1381 to 1383H) where he was also a member of the University board. Later he would return to his studies and work in the Az-Zahiriyah library, leaving his shop in the hands of one of his brothers.
He visited various countries for preaching and lectures - amongst them Qatar, Egypt, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Spain and the United Kingdom. He was forced to emigrate a number of times moving from Syria to Jordan, then Syria again, then Beirut, then the UAE, then again to 'Ammaan, Jordan. His works - mainly in the field of Hadith and its sciences number over 100. His students were numerous and include many Sheikhs of the present day, including: Shaykh Rabee' Ibn Haadee 'Umayr al-Madkhalee, Sheikh Hamdi 'Abdul-Majed as-Salafi, Sheikh Muhammad 'Eed 'Abbasi, Dr. Umar Sulayman al-Ashqar, Sheikh Muhammad lbrahim Shaqrah, Sheikh Muqbil ibn Hadi al-Wadi'i, Sheikh 'Ali Khushan, Sheikh Muhammad Jamil Zaynu, Sheikh 'Abdur-Rahman Abdus-Samad, Sheikh 'Ali Hasan 'Abdul-Hamid al-Halabi, Sheikh Salim al-Hilali, Sheikh Mashhur Hasan Al-Salman, Sheikh Muhammad Musa Nasr, Sheikh Basim al-Jawabirah, Sheikh Mohamed Omran and Sheikh Abu Ishaq al-Huwayni[1] It is also well-know that he has memorized hundred thousand hadith.
Contemporary Evaluation
'Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz said:
“ I have not seen under the surface of the sky a person knowledgeable of the Hadith in our current time than the like of the great scholar, Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albani. ”
Further on he considered him the mujaddid of his period.
The scholar Zayd Ibn Fayad said about him:
“ Indeed, Sheikh Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albani is from the most prominent and distinguished personalities of this era. He had great concern for the Hadith - its paths of transmission, its reporters and its levels of authenticity or weakness. This is an honorable task from the best things in which hours can be spent and efforts can be made. And he was like any other of the scholars - those who are correct in some matters and err in other matters. However, his devotion to this great science is from that which requires that his prestige be acknowledged and his endeavors in it be appreciated. ”
Another scholar and teacher, Muhibb-ud-Deen Al-Khatib, said:
“ And from the callers to the Sunnah who devoted their lives to reviving it was our brother Muhammad Nasiruddin Nooh Najati Al-Albani. ”
Dr. Muied-uz-Zafar of Indian administrated Kashmir has recently been awarded PhD on the contributions of Shaykh Nasir al-Din al-Albani by the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) India. Zafar's research speaks about many novel aspects of al-Albani and gives a detailed refutation of the allegations charged against him. The dissertation deals with the life and contribution of the Shaikh to hadith literature at length. The last chapter of the work is exclusively based on the evaluation of the criticism written against Albani and attempts to deal with the issue in a balanced manner.
al Uthaymeen: (al-Albani was a man from Ahl as-Sunnah and defended it, an Imam in the Hadith, we don't know anyone can compared with him in our era).
Rabe'e al-Madkhali: (This man was Totally persecute by Arabs, they don't know what they just lost. a Man Allah transport him from the heart of Europe and put him in the Al-'Daheriah Library, the best library in the East and abide for 60 years, then offer this great effort)
Moqbel bin Hadi Al-Wada'ai: (we still increasing our education by shikh Al-Albani's books). says to (no one vilify in Al-Albani's knowledge except someone how is not from Ahl as-Sunnah)
Hafiz bin Abdu Al-Rhman Madani -the principal of Lahor's university- (the shikh had left an indispensable supplies).
Abdu Al-Aziz Aal Al-shikh -Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia-: (the shikh Al-Albani one of our closest brothers and a reliable source, was known for his knowledges, favors and taking care for the Hadith science).
