of justice is one of the most wonderful ideals of Islam, because
as I read in the Qur'an I find those dynamic principles of
life, not mystic but practical ethics for the daily conduct
of life suited to the whole world." Lectures on "The

| PERSONALITY |
IMAM
AL-HAFIZ IBN HAJAR AL-ASQALANI
-----------------------------------------
His full name was, Imam AI-Hafiz Ibn Hajar Al-’Asqalani
is Abul-Fadi, Shihabuddin Ahmad bin All bin Muhammad bin
Muhammad bin Ahmad Ai-Kinani AshShafii. Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani
was born on 10th Shaban, 773 H. in Egypt where he grew up
also. He memorized the Qur’an at the age of nine years
and also memorized Al-Hawi, the book Muktasar of Ibn Al-Hajib,
and other books.
He
travelled to Makkah Mukarramah and listened to the teaching
of its ‘Ulama. While he admired the knowledge of Hadith
and began to acquire it from the great Sheikh in Hijaz,
Ash-Sham, Egypt and stayed with Azzam Al-’Iraqi for
ten years. He also studied under Al-Balqini, Ibn Al-Mulaqqin
and others. Many eminent Sheikh of his time approved his
knowledge and allowed him to give religious verdicts and
to teach.
He had learned the two sources (Qur’an and Hadith)
from Al-In bin Jama’a, the language from Al-Majd Al-Fairuzabadi,
the Arabic from Al-Amari, literature and poetry from Al-Badr
Al-Mushtaki and writing from a group of professors. He also
recited some parts ofthe Qur’an in all the seven styles
of recitation before At-Tanukhi.
He occupied himself with the promotion of the knowledge
of Hadith, so he dwelt in its study, teaching, writing and
giving Fatawa (religious verdicts). He also taught the Tafsir
(interpretation ofthe Qur’an), the Hadith, the Fiqh
(jurisprudence) and preached at many places like Al-Azhar,
Jami Amr and others. He also dictated to his students from
his memory. Many highly educated people and distinguished
scholars travelled to him to acquire from his vast knowledge.
Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani authored more than 150 books —most
of them being in the studies of Hadith—which flourished
during his lifetime, and the kings and princes exchanged
them as gifts. His book most worthy of mentioning is Fath
Al-Bari - the commentary of Sahih Al-Bukhani, which he had
started in the beginning of l7 H. After finishing its introductory
part in 813 H, he completed the whole commentary in Rajab
842 H. After the completion of the commentary, he held a
celebration attended by the Muslim dignitaries and spent
500 Dinar on it. Then some kings requested for it and paid
300 Dinar.
Ibn Hajar became the Qadi of Egypt then Al-Sham was also
added to his jurisdiction which he held for more than twenty-one
years. He was against holding the office of the Qadi at
first until the Sultan assigned to him a special case, then
he accepted to represent Al-Bakini when he begged him very
much to preside for him as Qadi. Then he presided for others
until he was assigned to hold the office of Chief Qadi on
12 Muharram, 827 H. He then left, but he had to take over
the office left of the Chief Qadi, for seven times until
he led it finally in 852 H. which is the year he passed
away.
As concerns his personality, Al-Asqalani was humble, tolerant,
patient and endurant. He was also described to be hilarious,
steadfast prudent ascetic, selfless, generous, spending
in charity and a person praying and fasting voluntarily.
He enjoyed light-hearted moments and the telling of humorous
anecdotes. He had also good manners of dealing with all
the Imams whether highly or lowly placed and with all those
who sat with him whether old or young.
Ibn
Hajar passed away after the Esha prayer on Saturday, 8th
Dhul-Hijja 852 H. May Allah reward him generously. AMEEN

While
offering Salaah, a person's eyes fell on a letter or a book.
He did not read it verbally but merely understood its meaning
with his heart - his Salaah will still be valid. However,
if he reads it verbally, his Salaah will break.

EXTRAVAGANCE
----------------
One day Ibrahim-b-Adham was served with a variety of dishes.
At that time, Sufyan Saori said to him: 0 father of Ishaq.
Don’t you fear that it is extravagance? Ibrahim said:
“There is no extravagance in food.”

MIND
----------------
When I stopped the bus to pick up little five year old Chris
for preschool, I noticed an older woman hugging him as he
left the house.
"Is that your grandmother?" I asked Chris when he
boarded.
"Yes," Chris said. "She's come to visit us."
"How nice," I said. "Where does she live?"
"At the airport," Chris replied.
"Whenever we want her we just go out there and get her." |
