[abu nibras]

“Praised be Allah ta’ala for the immense favour of giving us this man of knowledge, a practicing scholar, meritorious, righteous, praiseworthy, virtuous; a living example of the maxim: “How much our elders ceded for their successors [to complete]“, peerless in his time, unique in his era, Mawlana Shaykh Ahmed Rida – may Allah ta’ala vouchsafe him and keep him to crush the impuissant arguments of heretics by the force of Qur’an and Hadith.
And why not! The scholars of Makkah bear testimony [to his greatness] and if he were not so distinguished, they would not have accorded him such respect. Rather, I say, if we hail him as the Reviver of this century, it would be just and truth: Nay, it is not difficult for Allah ta’ala / To gather a world within an individual.May Allah ta’ala reward him, and give him an immense reward on behalf of this religion and its adherents; and may Allah ta’ala bestow upon him bounties and His pleasure by His Grace and Mercy.”

- Shaykh Sayyid Ismayil Khalil (Custodian of the Library of the Grand Mosque in Makkah, 1323AH)

First and foremost I would like to thank Allah azza wa jall for this opportunity to be associated with sidi Abu Hasan, and ask Allah ta`ala to protect him for our benefit and khayr, and may Allah ta`ala aid him in his endeavors. aameen.

This work, which is an introductory biography of our great imam was much needed. alHamdulillah it fills a gap in the availability of a decent english introduction to Alahazrat Imam Ahmed Rida Khan radiyallahu anhu, his life and works.

There is a beautiful list of works towards the end, with brief descriptions, which introduces a novice to Alahazrat's works, the names of his works alone puts one in awe of the great Imam and his ilm, may Allah ta`ala fill his blessed maqam with the nur from the nur of madinah. aameen

allahumma salli `ala muHammadin wa alihi wa `itratihi bi adadi kulli maalumillaka.

[AbdalQadir]

may Allah reward brother abu Hasan greatly for this.

MashaAllah (azzawajal)!

Jazakallah to all who were involved in compiling this book.


a humble request:

will it be possible to release an epubs version of the book? even if it's a text-only version. converted the pdf* to epubs using calibre and it displays fine in android but pages that have both images and texts appear a bit garbled.

jazakallah. wassalaam.

* devices with small displays are not ideal for reading pdfs because zooming necessitates repeated scrolling

me too and aameen!

an excellent introduction to Alahazrat with the right content. there were many parts of it that bought tears to the eyes, alHamdulillah. what a man Alahazrat was!

---
the translations of the book names are brilliant.

to write a review for a book, one must read it and aH has reviewed 68 of them...

68 is an odd choice, btw...

---
once again, aH sets the benchmark for ahlu's sunnah. just last night, i was in a gathering of ulama and they were praising aH's works and how brilliant they are. they asked us to pass on their messages of support.

i implore everyone to tell everyone about this noteworthy book. aH has had to work day and night in order to get this to us before 25th safar so please everyone, make use of it and forward the link before urs e Alahazrat.

just superlative!

[The Emir]

Well done brother Abu Hasan (and all those who have helped him) for the work that you have done.

[harun]

MashaAllah excellent and much needed in the english language.

Allahumma Zid Fazid!
