Shining Stars of the Muslim Ummah: Salafi

[the_wrong_guy]

Bismillah.

This, and other similar threads are being created with the intention of fostering brotherhood and cultivating/facilitating healthier relations between various sects and approaches to Islam among Sunni Muslims. I also intend to promote a greater appreciation of Islamic scholarship through these threads, and Allah is the One who grants success.

I hope to post biographies (or anecdotes from the lives) of at least five scholars in each thread: two classical, two contemporary, and one from the scholars I know personally, have met, or studied under.

This thread will InshaAllah include the biographies of:

Classical Scholars:

Imam Taqiuddin Ahmed Ibn Taymiyah(r)
Imam Ibn Qayyem al-Jawziyah(r)

Contemporary Scholars:

Shaykh Muhammad al-Amin ash-Shanqiti(r)
Shaykh Muhammad bin Saleh al-Uthaymin(r)

Scholars I've met:

Shaykh Ghazi Ozair Mubarakpuri(h) or Shaykh Sa'd ibn Nasir ash-Sheshri(h)

PS: I may post reviews of their works instead of their biographies. Others are free to contribute.

Shaykh Ghazi Ozair Mubarakpuri(h)

Asalamu Alaikum,

Is he related to Shaykh Saifur-Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri? I met his daughters here, at Jaama't tul Riyaadh.

Fi AmanAllah
