The Scholars Praise For Imaam Al-Albaanee


Shaikh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez Al-Hada said:


“The Shaikh, the great scholar, the ocean (of knowledge), Muhammad Al-


Ameen Ash-Shanqeetee (rahimahullaah) – the one whom no knowledge of


the Science of Tafseer and the Arabic Language was comparable to during his


lifetime – used to respect Shaikh Al-Albaanee so remarkably to the point that


when he would see him passing by, and he was giving his class in the masjid


of Madeenah, he would stop his class to stand and give Salaam to him out of


respect for him.”


The great scholar, the teacher, Muhibb-ud-Deen Al-Khateeb


said:


“And from the callers to the Sunnah who devoted their lives to


reviving it was our brother Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Nooh


Najaatee Al-Albaanee “


The great scholar Muhammad Haamid Al-Fiqee


(rahimahullaah) said:


“…the brother, the Salafee, the Scholar, Shaikh Naasir-ud-


Deen.”


The former Muftee of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Shaikh


Muhammad Ibn Ibraheem Aali Shaikh (rahimahullaah) said:


“And he is the upholder of the Sunnah, a supporter of the truth


and an opposition to the people of falsehood.”


During his lifetime, the father, the Shaikh, ‘Abd-ul-’Azeez Ibn


Baaz (rahimahullaah) said:


“I have not seen anyone under the surface of the sky with


more knowledge of the Hadeeth in our current time than the


likes of the great scholar, Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-


Albaanee.”


And he ( rahimahullaah) was asked about the hadeeth of the


Prophet ( : (صلى الله عليه وسلم


“Indeed Allaah raises up from this ummah at the beginning of


every century someone who will revive it for them (i.e. a


mujaddid).” So he was asked who is the mujaddid of this


century? He replied: “Shaikh Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-


Albaanee. He is the mujaddid in my opinion and Allaah knows


best.”


Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-‘Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah)


said:


“From what I came to know of the Shaikh through my


gatherings with him – and they were few – was that he was


very serious about acting upon the Sunnah and fighting


against the innovations, whether in


matters of Belief or in matters of actions. As for through my


readings of his written works, then I have come to know that


about him, and also that he possesses a vast amount of


knowledge of Hadeeth, in


terms of reporting them and investigating them. And Allaah


has benefited many people through what he has written such


as about knowledge, aspects of the Manhaj, and concern for


the science of


Hadeeth. And this is an enormous result for the Muslims, all


praise be to Allaah.”


The great scholar, Shaikh Zaid Ibn Fayaad (rahimahullaah)


said about him:


“Indeed, Shaikh Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaanee is


from the most prominent and distinguished personalities of


this era. He had great concern for the Hadeeth – its paths of


transmission, its reporters and its level of authenticity or


weakness. This is an honorable task from the best things on


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 (i.e. of Hadeeth) is from that which


requires that his prestige be acknowledged and his endeavors


in it be appreciated.”


Shaikh Muqbil Ibn Haadee Al-Waadi’ee (rahimahullaah) said:


“Indeed, there cannot be found an equal in terms of the


knowledge of hadeeth like that of Shaikh Muhammad Naasirud-


Deen Al-Albaanee. Allaah has given benefit through his


knowledge and his books several times more than what has


been accomplished by those zealots for Islaam upon the


ignorance of those who organize reformation and


revolutionary movements. And that which I sincerely believe in


and which I owe my thanks to Allaah for is that the Shaikh


Muhammad Naasir-ud- Deen Al-Albaanee is from the


mujaddideen (reformers/revivers) whom the Prophet ( صلى الله


عليه وسلم ) spoke the truth of when he said: ’Indeed Allaah raises


up from this ummah at the beginning of every century


someone who will revive it for them (i.e. a mujaddid).’
