The Mahbūbi Family

Seeing as Tāj al-Sharīʿah (d. ca. 673 AH)’s Nihāyah al-Kifāyah has been printed and will be available soon, here’s a lovely chart of the Maḥbūbī family tree taken from my forthcoming publication insha’Allah “An Introduction to the Ḥanafī Madhhab Volume 1”.

I request your du’ās for its completion and publication with ease!

This poster is perfect for printing out and placing in the third year class or whichever year class that is studying Sharḥ al-Wiqāyah or Al-Nuqāyah

The Blessed Burhānī Family

The Burhānī family was blessed with many great scholars, most notably Burhān al-Dīn al-Kabīr raḥimahullah (d.495 AH), his son Al-Ṣadr al-Shahīd raḥimahullah (d.536 AH) and his grandson Burhān al-Dīn al-Bukhārī raḥimahullah (d.616 AH).

This poster is perfect for printing and placing in the Iftā class! Made using Nāzūrah al-Haqq of Al-Marjānī and other books.

Quiz time:

Which hadith scholar lost his eyesight whilst writing a hadith book, unallowing him to complete it?

Note: there may be more than the one answer I have in my hadith book in which case I'm excited to learn more!

Answer:

Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Kathīr raḥimahullah (d.744 AH) - who lost his eyesight while writing Jāmiʿ al-Masānīd in the dark.

Meeting the Mashāyikh of Your City/Country

As we come to the end of the academic year, I remember sitting in 2016 right close to Mufti Ebrahim Desai raḥimahullah's desk after - I believe - Maghrib Salah (الشك من الراوي) around the end of the academic year, and him telling me that after he completed his Iftaa studies in India, he did not want to come home.

Eventually his teacher and Shaykh, Muftī Maḥmood Ḥasan Gangohi raḥimahullah convinced him to come home. But before that, Mufti Sahib told me that he travelled a decent part around India and went to meet all the senior scholars to get their Du'as that Allah Ta'ala accepts him for the service of His Deen and keeps him steadfast.

This is an ideal practice after graduation; after graduating, spend one or two days touring your country - as per your capability of course - and go and meet every senior scholar and get their Du'as. Their company alone can change lives, not to mention their Du'as.

Muadh Chati

For students going into their final year (Bukhari) next year, I highly recommend our course studying the Sunan books, snippet of the course available in the link:

Ulama-e-Salaf Ka Shawq-e-Ilm by Maulana Mihammad Nu'man

Coincidences are incredible. I was reading the book below in preparation for some lectures in the USA next week. As I read the introduction, it was written by Maulana Ayyub Surti Sb who first came across this book - written by Maulana Muhammad Nu'man - in Chicago in the immense library of Mufti Abdus Sattar Sb.

Mufti Abdus Sattar Sb from Chicago then told Ml Ayyub the background behind this book. He told Ml Ayyub that when he presented this book to Maulana Abdullah Kapodrawi, he - despite his age & health - read 150 pages from it in one night. He then said that every student and teacher should read it.

Ml Kapodrawi wanted to make a special effort to get it into every Madrasah. Fast forward many years later in a library in Chicago, Mufti Abdus Sattar asked Ml Ayyub if he could assist in printing this book as per the wish of Ml Abdullah Kapodrawi...and so...Ml Ayyub Surti printed the book and so...

As I prepare for a trip to Chicago insha'Allah next week, with the hope of meeting Mufti Abdus Sattar Sb, I find myself reading the very book that he played a role in printing!

Urdu books get some bad rep for lacking references, this book is fully referenced Masha'Allah!
