Featured Book Release: Who is Alahazrat?

First and foremost I would like to thank Allah azza wa jall for this opportunity to be associated with sidi Abu Hasan, and ask Allah ta`ala to protect him for our benefit and khayr, and may Allah ta`ala aid him in his endeavors. aameen.

This work, which is an introductory biography of our great imam was much needed. alHamdulillah it fills a gap in the availability of a decent english introduction to Alahazrat Imam Ahmed Rida Khan radiyallahu anhu, his life and works.

There is a beautiful list of works towards the end, with brief descriptions, which introduces a novice to Alahazrat's works, the names of his works alone puts one in awe of the great Imam and his ilm, may Allah ta`ala fill his blessed maqam with the nur from the nur of madinah. aameen

allahumma salli `ala muHammadin wa alihi wa `itratihi bi adadi kulli maalumillaka.

 

wa alaykum as salam sidi Wadood ! hope you are doing well, keep us in your du`as.

 

The blurb

“Praised be Allah ta’ala for the immense favour of giving us this man of knowledge, a practicing scholar, meritorious, righteous, praiseworthy, virtuous; a living example of the maxim: “How much our elders ceded for their successors [to complete]“, peerless in his time, unique in his era, Mawlana Shaykh Ahmed Rida – may Allah ta’ala vouchsafe him and keep him to crush the impuissant arguments of heretics by the force of Qur’an and Hadith.
And why not! The scholars of Makkah bear testimony [to his greatness] and if he were not so distinguished, they would not have accorded him such respect. Rather, I say, if we hail him as the Reviver of this century, it would be just and truth: Nay, it is not difficult for Allah ta’ala / To gather a world within an individual.May Allah ta’ala reward him, and give him an immense reward on behalf of this religion and its adherents; and may Allah ta’ala bestow upon him bounties and His pleasure by His Grace and Mercy.”

- Shaykh Sayyid Ismayil Khalil (Custodian of the Library of the Grand Mosque in Makkah, 1323AH)
