Nasiruddin-al Albani was one of the great Muslim scholars of the 20th century. He was specialized on Hadith. About his dedication and knowledge on Hadith another Muslim scholar Abdul Azeez bin Baaz said: I have not seen under the surface of the sky a person knowledgeable of the Hadith in our current time than the like of the great scholar, Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albani.He was born in the city Ashkodera of Albania in 1914 into a poor family. His father was Al-Haaj Nooh Najjaatee al-Albani had completed Sharee’ah studies in Istambul and returned to Albania. That time, Albanian government was highly influenced by the western concept of Atheism. But Al-Haaj Nooh Najjaatee al-Albani was disagreeing with the government and he leaved for Damascus with his family. In Damascus, Nasiruddin-al Albani completed his early education, and was taught the Quran, Hadith, tajwid, Arabic linguistic sciences, Hanafi fiqh and further branches of the religion by a number of Islamic scholars as well as friends of his father. Nasiruddin-al Albani originally ascribed to the Hanafi Madh’hab as he stated in some of his early books.

He began to specialize in the field of Hadith and its related sciences at the age of 20, being influenced by articles in ‘Al-Manaar’ magazine. He began to work in this field by transcribing al-Haafiz al-Iraaqee’s monumental ‘Al¬ Mughnee an-hamlil-Asfaar fil-Asfaar fee takhreej maa fil-lhyaa minal-Akhbaar’ and adding notes to it. He delved further into the field of Hadeeth and its various sciences despite discouragement from his family. During his time books on Hadith were not available. Unable to afford many of the required books, he often borrowed them from the famous Az-Zahiriyah library in Damascus. Besides of study he had a shop but more times remained it closed and he stayed in library. He became absorbed into his Hadith studies even sometimes he forgot to take food. Eventually the library authorities granted him a special room for his studies, and his own key for access to the library before normal opening time. Often he would remain at work from early morning until after Isha prayers in the evening. During this time he produced many useful works.

His studies of Hadith had a great effect on him and resulted in his turning away from blind-following of his former madhab and instead to accept and act upon the Book and the Sunnah – with the understanding of the pious predecessors of the Ummah. This naturally meant that he was sometimes at difference with some of the local scholars who blindly followed their Madhab, and likewise with the local Sufi Imaams and innovators who began to oppose him and incite the common people against him by calling him a ‘Wahhaabi deviant’. He was, however, encouraged by some of the noble Sheikhs of Damascus who urged him to continue, amongst them Sheikh Bahjatul Baijaar, Sheikh Abdul-Fattah, and Tawfeeq al-Barzah.

Because of his opposition, he was restless trying to promote Tawhid and Hadith. After sometimes he started to delivered lecture in weekly session attended by universities students and teachers, teaching them various books on fiqh, usul and Hadith. After a number of his works appeared, Al-Albani was chosen to teach Hadith at the Islamic University of Madinah, for three years-from 1381 to 1383H where he was also a member of the University board. Later he would return to his studies and work in the Az-Zahiriyah library, leaving his shop in the hands of one of his brothers.

He also began organised monthly journeys for da’wah to the various cities of Syria and then Jordan. He visited various countries for preaching and lectures – amongst them Qatar, Egypt, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Spain and the United Kingdom. He was forced to emigrate a number of times moving from Syria to Jordan, then Syria again, then Beirut, then the UAE, then again to Amman, Jordan. It is also well-know that he has memorized hundred thousand hadith.

Nasiruddin-al-Albani has a lot of contribution in today’s Islamic knowledge. He dedicated his life to promote tawhid, though; mainly he was a scholar of Hadith. He has more publications on this sector: At-Targhib wa’t-Tarhib (Volumes 1–4), At-Tasfiyyah wa’t-Tarbiyya, At-Tawsulu: Anwau’hu wa Ahkamuhu (Tawassul: Its Types & Its Rulings), Irwa al-Ghalil (Volumes 1–9), Talkhis Ahkam al-Janaez, Sahih wa Da’if Sunan Abu Dawood (Volumes 1–4), Sahih wa Da’if Sunan at-Tirmidhi (Volumes 1–4), Sahih wa Da’if Sunan ibn Majah (Volumes 1–4), al-Aqidah at-Tahawiyyah Sharh wa T`aliq, Sifatu Salati An-Nabiyy, Silsalat al-Hadith ad-Da’ifa (Volumes 1–14), Silsalat al-Hadith as-Sahiha (Volumes 1–11), Salat ut-Tarawih (later an abridgement of this book was published by al-Albani – Qiyamu Ramadhan).

About Nasiruddin-al-Albani The scholar Zayd Ibn Fayad said: Indeed, Sheikh Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albani is from the most prominent and distinguished personalities of this era. He had great concern for the Hadith – its paths of transmission, its reporters and its levels of authenticity or weakness. This is an honorable task from the best things in 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 is from that which requires that his prestige be acknowledged and his endeavors in it be appreciated.

His students are many and include many prominent Sheikhs of the present day amongst them: Shaykh Hamdi Abdul-Majeed, Shaykh Muhammad ‘Eed Abbaasi, Dr. Umar Sulayman al-Ashqar, Shaykh Muhammad lbrahim Shaqrah, Shaykh Muqbil ibn Haadi al-Waadi’i, Shaykh Ali Khushshaan, Shaykh Muhammad Bin Jameel Zainoo, Shaykh Abdur-Rahmaan Abdus-Samad, Shaykh Ali Hassan Abdul-Hameed al-Halabi.

The Sheikh passed away on Saturday 2 October, 1999.

After the 15th century, the study of Islamic economics was absent for a long time. In the mid 20th century, some economists tried to expose the application of Islamic economics in both written and practical format.

He has participated in a number of meetings of international and regional organizations like the IMF, IBRD, OPEC, IDB, OIC, and GCC.
By clear away the misconception, Dr. Chapra presented the  fundamental differences between Islamic and modern economics, common characteristic of Islamic consumer, producer, Islamic application on  market, income distribution, poverty eradication, fiscal and monetary policy, zakat, bank, insurance, stock market and many other topics of economics.
He spent most of his professional life outside of his homeland in the U.S.A. (6 years) and 44 years in Saudi Arabia as a researcher, teacher research adviser. He was the teacher of economics at the University of Minnesota (1957-60), the University of Wisconsin, Platteville (1960/61), the University of Wisconsin, Platteville (1963/64), the University of Kentucky, Lexington, Ky. (1964/65) and Economic Advisor and then Senior Economic Adviser at the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency, July 1965- October 1999), Research Advisor at the Islamic Research and Training Institute of the Islamic Development Bank, Jeddah (November1999).

He has authored 16 books and monographs and more than 100 papers and book reviews. Some of his books, monographs and papers have been translated into a number of languages, including Arabic, Bangla, French, Indonesian, Japanese, Malay, Persian, Polish, Spanish, Turkish and Urdu.

Dr. Chapra has been awarded with gold medal from different universities (University of Sind, research and dawah institutions (Islamic Council of North America (ICNA), King Faisal International Award) and banks (Islamic Development Bank award) for his contributions to Islam and Islamic economics.
Dr.chapra is now living in Saudi Arabia with his wife Khairunnisa Jamal Mundia and four children Maryam, Anas, Sumayyah and Ayman.
He is also well-known in Bangladesh and visited it to participate in an international conference on economics arranged by Islamic economics Research Bureau (IERB). His books are also available both in Bangla and English in our country.
“Islamic economics has effective tools and can solve economic problem of human life successfully”Dr. Chapra proved it easily, which illustrates the superiority of Islam. We should study Islamic economics more carefully to present it as the best solution for humanity.

Iqbal Masih was a Pakistani boy, living life in a nightmare. At the age of four, his father sold him to a carpet store for twelve dollars. He was a slave, and worked on looms until the age of ten. He escaped, and was eventually saved by Ehsan Ulla Khan, founder of the Bondage Labor Liberation Front.
Iqbal suffered while working on the loom, and he refused to go back. He was both verbally and physically abused, and not well fed. Every night, he was chained to his carpet loom, on which he worked for over twelve hours a day. Because he had to bend over for so many hours, his back became curved, causing him to stop growing. His lungs were affected as well. Because he inhaled a lot of dust from the factory, he had a hard time breathing. After Iqbal was rescued, he became a member of the Bondage Labor Liberation Front, or BLLF. His speeches raised a lot of interest within Pakistan as to the labor conditions. Iqbal’s began speaking internationally, making him a hero at the age of twelve! He was awarded the Reebok Human Rights Youth Award.

Most people think that children are not mature enough to make a difference, but clearly, Iqbal’s actions prove that kids do matter.

Then, on April 16, 1995, Easter Sunday, Iqbal was murdered. News went flying around about the death of Iqbal Masih. The only thing that we can guess is that the Carpet Mafia murdered him, because Iqbals’ protests had decreased the profits of the carpet mills. They wanted his impact to end, so they shot him with a rifle. He was just a normal twelve-year-old boy with a dream to help others.

Iqbal’s speeches still live on today. Our world is still cruel and filled with hatred, but, because of people like Iqbal, we show that we can change it. Iqbal was truly an amazing person. He is definitely a great hero.

The most influential Muslim pundit in the modern world

Yusuf Al- Qaradawi was born on September 9, 1926 in an Egyptian Muslim family. He lost his father at two years old in 1928 and brought up by his uncle. Though his family pressured him to be sources of income, he had few concentrations about that, due to fulfill the thirst of knowledge. He concentrated in reading Quran and memorized it when he was 9 years old boy.

It should be noted that he was very pious from his childhood which made him a follower of Hasan Al Banna, the great Muslim scholar in that time. He gathered much knowledge from his teachers and leaders. Before moved to Qatar to his uncle, he attended in the Al Azhar university in 1928.

He came back from Qatar in 1940 and joined at Al Azhar to restart his study. Then he joined the Faculty of Theology and got the `Aliyya certificate (equivalent to BA degree at present) in 1952-53. He got also the ‘Ijaza of teaching from the Faculty of Arabic Language in 1954.

In 1960 he obtained the High Preliminary Study which is equivalent to MA degree from the department of the Sciences of Qur’an and Hadith at the Faculty of Theology. In 1973 he got the PhD. degree with his dissertation about Az-Zakah wa-Atharuha fi Hall al-Mushkilat al-Ijtima`iyya (Zakah and its Influence in the Solution of Social Problems.)

Actually in his life he tried to ease off the Shariah within the obligations in practical life. So in his early life, he delivered much speech and writings for Islam and against monarchy and was imprisoned  more than three times in 1949 when his book ‘Tyrant and the scholar’ was published.

Al Qaradawi is now one of the most eminent scholars of Islam. He has been trying to provide practical solution on current world problem which are in integral part of Muslim life. These problems cover suicide bombing, terrorism, alcohol, Homosexuality, conflict between Israel-Lebanon, Israel-Palestine and other basic Shariah rules and obligations such as Hijab, religious rights. For his contributions, he is known as moderate Muslim scholar on religious and social matters.

Moreover, he has been struggling to depose misconceptions and misinterpretations about Islam and to provide exact and superior solutions on various issues through his writings and speeches.

He has published over 100 books dealing with various aspects of Islamic life, literature and poetry. His best known books include: The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam (1960), Priorities of the Islamic Movement in the Coming Phase (1990). Approaching the Sunnah: Comprehension & Controversy , Islamic Awakening Between Rejection and Extremism and Priorities of Islamic Movement.

Qaradawi served as Dean of the Islamic Department at the Faculties of Shariah and Education in Qatar, and as a Chairman of the Islamic Scientific Councils of Algerian Universities and Institutions. He was also a faculty member at the Michigan-based Islamic American University (IAU), a subsidiary of the Muslim American Society. Until at least June 2003 he was Chairman of the IAU Board of Trustees.

Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi is the head of the European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR), and the president of the International Association of Muslim Scholars (IAMS).

He is popular for his ‘Al Jazeera’ program named ‘Ash-Shariah wal hayat (Shariah and life) and for website “Islam online” that he helped to found in 1997, where he offers opinion and religious verdicts (Fatwa) and provide possible solutions based on Quran, Hadith and strong logic. He delivered many speeches in his interviews given in different media.

He worked as a khatib, teacher, and writer at Al-Awqaf and Al-Azhar. Many scholars consider him to be a mujtahid of the Modern Age. He has been active in the field of da`wah and the Islamic Movement for more than half a century.

Dr. Yusuf is also well-known in Bangladesh as a moderate Muslim scholar. Many of his books are available in Bangla language. We should study those books to clarify the concept of Islam. Finally, it can be said that, we have lots of things to learn from this great scholar’s life and works.

The first time he became aware of the various struggles of living in a third world country was when Cyclone Aila caught his attention and he started reading about it in newspapers. His relatives in Bangladesh informed him of the devastating effects the cyclone has had on the nearby villages. Naim learnt that the biggest threat the villagers faced was the lack of pure drinking water. Further research into the matter revealed that arsenic runs beneath the soils of Gopalgonj and contaminates the wells and aquifers. Cyclones like Aila further worsen the situation. He realized that a feasible solution to the problem would be drilling as many tube wells as possible in arsenic free areas before further poison seeps into the ground water. He laid down the ground works of a tube well drilling project and decided to bear part of the cost of the project himself. He used all the money he had earned by working as an intern in a law firm called Denton Wilde Sapte in Kuwait for the construction of one tube well. However one tube well was not enough for bringing about a significant change in the lives of the villagers. Thus Naim decided to raise money to build more tube wells by asking for donations. He drafted brochures to reel in funds from sympathetic organizations. He was extremely surprised at the overwhelming response of many engineering consultant firms. PSC, Khaled Khorafi, GEC Dar (all engineering consultants) contributed to the project with absolutely no insurance of return. They only looked forward to Naim bringing back good news. Immediately after reaching Bangladesh; Naim got to work. Using his father’s contacts he hired contractors and installed five tube wells. Now, the villagers have access to safe drinking water. While working in this project; Naim also served as an intern at BRAC where he learned more deeply about the structural problems of Bangladesh. The entire trip has motivated him to carry out many more such endeavors. He is currently planning to work on the education sector of the village. Naim has a rough sketch of a project whose objective would be to develop the IT sector of the village by increasing the availability of computers and internet.

“Inspiration wasn’t really inspiration at all. What I felt was more like an obligation, and not just because I would be helping a country where my parents happened to be born. It was because I’d be helping people.” – Naim said when I asked him what had inspired him to help out the villagers in Gopalgonj. Naim, despite being just a teenager understands his civil duties towards humanity. Surely his honest efforts will make him successful in helping out many other underprivileged communities.
