Ramadan Islamic Quotes

Citation islamique pour le ramadan

Muhammad Nasir-ud-Dīn al-Albani (1914 – October 2, 1999) (In Arabic محمد ناصر الدين الألباني) was an Albanian Islamic scholar who specialised in the fields of hadith and fiqh. He established his reputation in Syria, where his family had moved when he was a child and where he was educated.

Albani is considered to be a major figure of the purist Salafi movement which developed in the 20th century. Al-Albani did not advocate violence, preferring quietism and obedience to established governments, while also being aware that these authorities do not represent the people of their country nor Muslims but the crusader powers.

A watchmaker by trade, al-Albani was active as a writer, publishing chiefly on hadith and its sciences. He also lectured widely in the Mideast, Spain and the United Kingdom on the Salafist movement.
