Biography of ibn Usamymin

The future scientist was born in a religious family of average prosperity. His father was engaged in trade, often excommunicating in commercial affairs in Riyadh. Noticing his son’s outstanding abilities to study, his father decided to put him on the path of acquiring Sharia knowledge. She gave birth to eight children to him: five boys and three girls. Sheikh's offspring has more than twenty grandchildren.

Sheikh's religious education at that time in the Al-Kabir Cathedral Mosque G. Before attending classes as his students, students had to undergo an initial training course with one of the two best students of Sheikh, whom he appointed for this purpose. Studying in the scientific mug of Sheikh, the young man learned by heart the texts of Matn in the above sciences. In addition, Ibn al-Usimymin did not miss the opportunity to gain knowledge from other scientists who were considered large specialists in their field and lived in the Uneise.

He studied al-Bukhari in his mosque in the mosque of “sahih” and the works of Ibn Timiyi. In addition, from Ibn Base, he adopted knowledge of hadithing, the views of scientists of various Mazhabs and a comparative fikh. The funeral prayer for it was made by Sheikh Abdullah al-bassam. He also spent five prayers with people with people on Saturday. The proposal of the Sharia judge was supported by the Governor of the province of El Kasim and other senior faces of the city.

On the same day, he spent his first midday prayer as the Imam of the Al-Kabir mosque and began to combine the duties of Imam-Khatyba 8 with teaching at the National Library of the Uneise at the same mosque founded by Sheikh of As-Saadi in the year of Hijra G. it is noteworthy that Sheikh taught not only in his mosque. As a result, the library at the Al-Kabir mosque was no longer able to accommodate all students.

This circumstance forced Sheikh to transfer classes to the mosque itself. Students from other cities of Saudi Arabia, and from different parts of the world began to come to the Uneise to obtain fundamental knowledge about religion from Sheikh. Moreover, they came precisely as students for full -fledged learning, and not volunteers. Then the king ordered to build a building next to the mosque and transfer it to students as a WACF.

After the construction of the building, it became a student hostel, and a scientific library at the Uneise mosque moved into it. Sheikh Ibn al-Usymin possessed his own unique teaching methodology, which could be summarized at the following points: memorizing texts by heart. He paid increased attention to this. According to the learning program developed by Sheikh, all students should have learned the following texts by heart: the Holy Quran.

If the student did not know the Koran by heart, then he had to learn those verses whose tafsir was passed in the sheikh lesson. Hadis: “Bulug al-Maram” Ibn Hajar Hadisov. Foundations of Fikha: “Al-Varakat” al-Javeni Poem, “Manzum Umi al-Fikh” was compiled by Sheikh ibn al-Ussymin himself, poem, verse. This is the list of basic books that Sheikh demanded from his students to learn by heart.

If the student did not learn the given text, Sheikh showed his censure to him. As a result, the students of Sheikh learned under his leadership many texts in various Sharia disciplines. Repetition of the material covered. Sheikh asked students questions about the material of the last lesson to check how well they learned the text and clarified the commentary for it, as well as prepare for the perception of new information.

Explain your comments. Sheikh used various means so that all students understand his explanation, especially only the requirements of Sharia knowledge that had taken the path. He spoke in a simple language, gave examples, broke the whole into parts, drawn parallels from life. Discussion of the chapter or book. Having finished the comments of any section or the entire book, Sheikh checked her knowledge by the students, asked her questions, discussed obvious moments.

The use of instructive stories. In his lessons, Sheikh demanded from students constant attention and concentration. At the same time, if he saw that the student was tired, distracted or scattered, he immediately addressed him with a question that had just been passed, or told any instructive story on the topic. A detailed explanation of Ayat or Hadis. If necessary, Sheikh explained in all the details the ayat or hadith on the issue under consideration, since each of them was based on the appropriate Sharia argument.

Time for questions. Five minutes before the end of the lesson, any student could ask a question about the listed lesson that he could have. Increased attention to new students. Sheikh paid special attention to those students who had just begun to demand Sharia knowledge in order to instill in them a love of Islamic sciences. He gave them a task to prepare a report on any topic, knowing that they were not yet capable of this, but doing this with the goal that they were looking for scientific sources, “attached” to the works of Sharia, and received research skills.

Moral education.Sheikh assigned an important role to the morals of his students, and also developed in them the skills of calling people to Islam. Wherever he came, Sheikh gave people lectures on various topics. This happened annually up to the death of Sheikh. He participated in the work of the pilgrimage committee during the Hajj, he personally met the delegations of pilgrims at the airport, addressed them with sermons, answered their questions.

He gave instructions and fatwas during meetings with people and by phone, taking a certain time of the day for this. Sheikh's social activity carried out his noble activity day and night and bearing a huge responsibility on his shoulders, Sheikh always sought to benefit others, conveying knowledge of religion to them, publishing fatwas and satisfying their needs. Even when already seriously ill, he did not cease to conduct daily prayers as an imam, to handle on Friday sermons, to answer questions.

When people saw what difficulties have to overcome Sheikh because of health problems, they felt sorry for him and said: “Sheikh, it’s also necessary to relax,” which he invariably answered: “Rest is to be in the service of the Muslim ummah.” He also took part in the work of numerous specialized scientific committees of the kingdom. He was a member of the Council of the Faculty of Sharia and the foundations of the religion of the Imam Muhammad Immad Islamic University of Islamic in Uneise, and also headed the Department for the Study of Islamic Roadings at the University.

He held regular meetings with the judges of the El-Kasim province, separate sheikhs from among the leaders, members of the Committee on the Adjusted to the approved and restraint from the condemned ureesis, the Imam-Khatybs of the city, with the teachers of the Department of the Islamic Relief of the Islamic University named after Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud El-Kasima, with members of the Board of Directors of the Association for the Study of the Holy Quran, with their best students, as well as with students living in dormitories.

In addition, Sheikh found time for personal meetings with relatives who came to the Uneise. He held various public meetings: weekly meetings in the walls of his house, monthly meetings in his mosque, as well as annual meetings during Hajj and Ramadan outside the ueresa. On the way from home to the mosque and vice versa, Sheikh was always surrounded by people who asked him for advice, asked questions, addressed help.

People were attracted to Sheikh that he could clearly and intelligibly explain to them the essence of Sharia laws regarding various types of worship and household relations. His scientific works and the Islamic call methodology were fully based on the principle of followed by righteous predecessors from the first generations of Muslims. The knowledge of Sheikh in the field of religion, Tafsira, hadith, fikha, the grammar of the Arabic language and rhetoric, rightfully attracted attention and brought great benefits to the Muslims in various corners of the world, whose hearts were united and co -evaluated in their love for Sheikh, recognition of his advantages and high places that he occupied in a scientific field.

Sheikh's lectures were not recorded immediately. When Sheikh began teaching, his lessons were not recorded. Firstly, in the Uneise there was no sound recorder of tape recorders then, and, secondly, sometimes people did not come to the lesson at all, or the sheikh waited one or two students. At first, the training went in a traditional way: the students sat down in a circle next to Sheikh and noted his words in a notebook.

However, at first, the Sheikh forbade this, fearing that instead of the abstract of lessons and memorizing them by heart, students would rely on audio recordings. Ten years later, Sheikh gradually began to take a ban, but not completely: after the audio recording of the lesson, the student could make the necessary additions to his abstract, but then he had to erase the record. Finally, the ban was completely lifted only in gg.

Some students opened sound recording studios to rewrite Sheikh lectures to cassettes. Over time, all Sheikh’s lessons and his comments on famous works began to be recorded, and some of the lectures lasted for years. After the death of Sheikh, these lectures were published in a book format, which has 15 volumes. The following is a list of the most numerous audiolections of the sheikh in sections: Verovision: Comments on the poems “Nunia” Ibn al-Qayima ”and“ AD-Durrat al-Mudya ”al-Saffarini.

As for the written heritage of Sheikh, he either made up small works on some topic in the genre of messages on religion, ablution, prayer, post, Zachat, Hadju, the rules for calling for Islam, etc.

During the life of Sheikh, more than fifty of his works were published. His knowledge found expression not only in lectures and classes with a large audience, but also in his modesty, meekness, God -fearing and well -being. Sheikh was distinguished by honesty, asceticism, unpretentiousness in everyday life, a strict attitude to the search for knowledge and their transfer, a reverent attitude to his time and commitment to the principle of calling for the approved and prohibition of the condemned.

He was far from the pretentiousness and pomp that is inherent in many famous people. Happiness and joy always attended his face during lectures, and communication with him left an indelible mark in the souls of people, inspiring joy and optimism in them. Sheikh with kindness treated the young generation of Muslims, listening to their requests, entering into discussion with them, delicately and convincingly giving them useful instructions and advice, he was full of determination to embody the Prophet's Sunnah in all his actions.

One of the signs of his piety was his prudence and leisurely when the fatwas made. Sheikh never endured his fatwas until he was clear the appropriate arguments from Sharia. Otherwise, he always said: “Give me time to think about this issue” and the like phrases that testified to his God -fearing and the desire to analyze this or that issue of Fikh in detail.

Sheikh tirelessly listened to the complaints and requests of people, as far as possible helping them in solving problems. For this purpose, he allocated a special watch in his busy daily routine. Not only during the day, but at night, the deep experiences of Muslims did not leave Sheikh. He also always supported charitable funds and associations on the study of the Qur'an.

Almighty Allah revealed to him all kinds of gates of righteousness, piety and the desire to assist Muslims.
