ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Shaykh ʿAbd al-Ghanī ibn Ismāʿīl al-Nābulsī (1641 - 1731), was an eminent scholar and poet of Ottoman Damascus. The Shaykh's family included many scholars and judges of the lands of Shaam and Egypt during both the Mamluk rulers and Ottoman eras, and included many eminent Shaykhs whose works are know down to the present day. He authored over 200 works on a wide range of subjects, and died in Damascus at 90 years of age. 

Habib "Sa'd" al-'Aydarus, born in 1932 in Tarim, hailed from a distinguished lineage tracing back to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Raised in a scholarly and pious environment, he studied under numerous eminent scholars, including Habib Abdullah bin Umar al-Shatiri. His life was marked by dedication to Islamic knowledge and spiritual guidance, even enduring three and a half years of severe torture in prison under a socialist regime. After his release in 1975, he revitalized religious practices and educational institutions, notably reopening the Abu Murayyam school for Qur'an memorization. He authored over one hundred concise and beneficial books on various Islamic topics. Known for his open hospitality and compassionate heart, he supported students of knowledge and emphasized respect for sacred texts. In his later years, he continued his devotions despite declining health, and he passed away on October 6, 2011, leaving behind a legacy of scholarship and spiritual leadership. His funeral was attended by thousands, and he was buried in the Zanbal graveyard in Tarim.
