Description :
Foundational Principles Regarding the Science of Hadith - [Ilm al-Hadith]
" These are elementary and foundational principles regarding the terminology (Mustalah) of the noble Hadıth which is necessary for every novice in this subject, authored in an easy to understand fashion. I authored it for the beginners amongst my brethren from the seekers of sacred knowledge.
I implore Allah Most High to make it beneficial and to make it from amongst our righteous actions which are solely for His sake, and that he grant us a profound opening akin to that of the gnostics. Salutations and blessings be upon our Master Muhammad, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, his family and companions. " ----Al-Sayyid Muhammad bin Al-Sayyid ’Alawi al-Maliki al-Hasani.
Shaykh Sayyad ibn Alawi al-Maliki, alayhi ar-Rahman :
Born in Makkah in 1946 - Sayyid Muhammad ibn Alawi al-Maliki al-Hasani, may Allah have mercy upon his soul, also passed away there in 2004 [1425 After Hijri] leaving a rich legacy of wide ranging Islamic literature and students who are now teaching the traditional Islamic sciences worldwide. His immense learning and charismatic persona established him as a pivotal figure throughout the Muslim world, having travelling far and wide - attracting large audiences wherever he went.
A gifted polymath he was an expert on many Islamic disciplines having written extensively on many of the traditional Islamic sciences including tenets of faith (aqidah), jurisprudence (fiqh), hadith studies, biography (sirah), tasawwuf, and commentaries (tafsir).
One of Sayyid Alawis’ most celebrated works is Muhammad: Al-Insan Al-Kamil in which he contends that the Message of Islam can only be perfect if the Messenger himself is blessed with perfection. Here the Sayyid’s extensive learning can be glimpsed as he begins to outline the Perfections of the Prophet using his vast knowledge of the Qur'an and Prophetic Sunna. The book is essential reading and will increase the love of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, which is an obligation for all.
