About the Author :
He is Tahir b. Muhammad Salih b. Ahmad b. Mawhub al-Samuni al-Jaza’iri al-Dimashqi (1852CE/1268AH – 1920 CE/1338AH). Al-Jaza'iri was a reformer and great scholar of
Tafsīr,
Hadīth,
Fiqh,
Uṣūl, history and the Arabic language. He was born and passed away in Damascus.
His father Muhammad Salih migrated from French-occupied Algeria to Damascus in 1846 CE (1263 AH) along with the great Algerian leader ʿAbd al-Qadir al-Jaza’iri. Muhammad Salih lived there until he passed away in 1868 CE (1285 AH). He was a scholar of the Quranic sciences. Imam Tahir al-Jaza'iri received his early education from his father; thereafter he studied with many other
ʿulama in Damascus, including Shaykh ʿAbd al-Ghani al-Maydani and Shaykh ʿAbd al-Rahmān al-Banushnaqi. Imam Tahir devoted all his time and energy towards studying. This also included studying the natural sciences, mathematics, and astronomy. His knowledge of history was superb, and, in addition, he was very well-acquainted with the biographies of the previous scholars and their books.
In 1878, at the age of twenty-six he was appointed as a general inspector for the primary schools. During the period he served this position, he wrote some books that were necessary at the time for pupils in various levels. Together with Shaykh ʿAla al-Dīn ʿAbidīn (d. 1888 CE), they agreed to establish
al-Jamʿīyyah al-Khayrīyyah al-Islāmiyyah that was very active in Damascus and responsible for establishing many schools and libraries including the 'Zahiriyyah Library' as well as the 'Khalidiyyah Library' in al-Quds.
He was accustomed to reading and researching the whole night right until
Fajr. This was particularly his practice in the last forty years of his life. He was in Cairo for about thirteen years and in 1920 after becoming seriously ill, he returned to Damascus. Soon after his return he was elected as a member of the Arabic Academy in Damascus and the Director of the Ẓahirīyyah Library. He passed away four months later in 1920 and is buried on the Qāsiyūn Mountain in Damascus, Syria.
Imam Tahir wrote many books over thirty-five in number on various subjects. These include ʿ
Aqidah, ʿ
Ulum al-Qur’an,
Tajwid, the science of
