The author, Esaam Moosaa Haadi writes: Allaah blessed me with the companionship of one of the flag-bearers of the Sunnah of this time, our Shaikh, the Allaamah, the scholar of hadith, Muhammad Naasirud-Deen al-Albaani, may Allaah, the Most High, have mercy upon him.
From the rights of this Imaam upon me is that I make him, his call and something from his struggle and patience known, along with the fruits the Muslims have reaped from what he sowed, yet I found that many of the Shaikh’s students had already beaten me to it, so may Allaah reward them with good.
So that I would not miss out on the reward that they will recieve, if Allaah so wills, I wanted to follow in their footsteps and drink from the same well they took from, as it were, by writing a biography of our Shaikh but something which would be far from repetitive.
So I sought Allaah’s Aid, and got ready to buckle down to it, and it occurred to me that the book that I write should be from the Shaikh’s words himself, since autobiographies are the best form of biography. I began to collect what I could where the Shaikh, may Allaah have mercy upon him, spoke about himself in his widely dispersed books. When he spoke [about himself as such] it was by way of speaking about Allaah’s blessings upon him.
Then I put what I collected into an order I saw suitable, and I ask Allaah to make this action purely and solely for His Face, the Most High, and that He have Mercy on our Shaikh and raises his place of abode and that He have Mercy on us when we leave this life as he did, He is the All-Hearing, the One who answers the supplications.
And may Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon Muhammad and his Companions.
