birth. So his mother (rahima-hallaah) brought him up. She supervised him and gave him the best of upbringings, teaching him praiseworthy manners of truth
and trustworthiness.When he reached the age of eight years, he joined the circles of knowledge in his village and learnt to read and write. And from those under whom he studied were

whom he studied were: Shaykh Naasir Khaloofah Tayaash Mubaarakee (rahima-hullaah), the well-renowned scholar from the major students of Shaykh al-
Qar'aawee. Under him, he studied Buloogh al-Maraam wa Nuzhatu an-Nadthar of al-Haafith Ibn Hajar (rahima-hullaah) then he joined the educational institute in
Saamitah and there studied under esteemed scholars, the most renowned of them was Shaykh Haafith Ibn Ahmad al-Hakamee (rahima-hullaah) and also his brother, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Ahmad al-Hakamee. He also studied under the Noble Shaykh and Scholar of hadeeth Ahmad Ibn Yahyaa an-Najmee (hafidha-hullaah), and also studied 'aqeedah under the Noble Shaykh Dr. Muhammad Amaan Ibn 'Alee al-Jaamee (rahima-hullaah). He also studied fiqh (Zaad al-
Mustaqni') under Shaykh Muhammad Sagheer Khamees and many others under whom he studied Arabic language and poetry. In 1380 A.H./1960 C.E. he
graduated from the educational institute in Saamitah and in 1381 A.H./1961 C.E. he joined the Faculty of Sharee'ah in Riyaadh and continued there for a period of

transferred to Madeenah and joined the Faculty of Sharee'ah and studied there for four years and graduated in the year 1384 A.H./1964 C.E. with excellence.
From those under whom he studied whilst at the Islaamic University of Madeenah were:

He then returned to the Islaamic University as a teacher at the Faculty if Hadeeth. He taught hadeeth in all it's forms and sciences and became the head of the Department of the Sunnah at the Department for Higher Studies a number
of times at the rank of chairman.The Shaykh (hafitha-hullaah) excels in much humility with his brothers, students, and visitors. He is humble in his housing, dress and transportation; he does not
seek nor like luxury in any of these.He is also always cheerful and open, with boredom not striking any of his sittings.
His sittings are filled with readings of hadeeth and the Sunnah and warnings against innovations and their perpetrators, such that one who sees him and does not know him feels nothing more concerns him than this. The Shaykh loves the
students of knowledge and honours them and gives to them in charity and seeks to have their needs met to the best of his ability both physically and financially.
His house is always open to the students of knowledge such that no day passes whereby he tucks into his breakfast, lunch or evening meal by himself, and his
students call upon him.He is from the most enthusiastic of callers to the Qur.aan, the Sunnah and the understanding of the Pious Predecessors. He is full of a sense of honour and intensity over the Sunnah and the understanding of the Pious Predecessors.
There are very few comparable to him in this issue in our time and he is from the defenders in our time of the path of the Pious Predecessors day and night,
inwardly and outwardly.The Shaykh has written many books, and all praise is for Allaah, as he has frequently broached many subjects which required attention, particularly the
issue of refuting the perpetrators of innovations and desires in our time. Amongst his numerous books is that entitled: "The Methodology of the Prophets in calling
to Allaah - that is the way of wisdom and intelligence" which is available in the English language.
Amongst the many scholars who have praised the Shaykh are:Shaykh Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee (rahima-hullaah) who mentioned on the tape "Liqaa. Abee al-Hasan al-Ma.rabee ma'a al-Albaanee" about him and
Shaykh Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi'ee: "Without a doubt we praise Allaah the Almighty Who has, for this pure and upright da'wah to the Qur.aan and the
Sunnah upon the methodology of the Pious Predecessors, made use of numerous callers from different Islaamic lands who uphold the collective
obligation which very few do so in the Islaamic world today, notably the two Shaykhs (Rabee and Muqbil), the callers to the Qur.aan and the Sunnah and that
which the Pious Predecessors were upon and wagiing war against those who oppose this correct methodology…"
The Shaykh further adds: "So I wish to say, that which I have seen of the writings of the Shaykh Dr. Rabee, then it is beneficial and I do not recall having seen anything wrong or outside of the methodology which we have come together
upon with him, and him having come together upon with us…"He also mentions on the tape "al-Mawaazanaat Bid'atul-'Asr": "And in short, I say that the one who carries the banner of al-Jarh wat-Ta'deel in this present day and age in truth is our brother (Shaykh) Dr. Rabee, and those who refute him do not
refute him upon (sound) knowledge - never…"Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn 'Abdullaah Ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah) who mentioned
on the tape "Tawdeeh lil-Bayaan" about him: "So the explanation which has been issued by us, it's intention was the call of all, all the callers and the scholars to the constructive criticism…and the intention was not our brothers the people of
Madeenah from the students of knowledge and the teachers and the callers, and nor was the intention other than them in Makkah or Riyaadh or in Jeddah. Rather our general intention was our brothers the well-known Shaykhs in Madeenah of
whom there is no doubt, they are the people of sound 'aqeedah and from the Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah, such as: Shaykh Muhammad Amaan Ibn 'Alee, Shaykh Rabee' Ibn Haadee, Shaykh Saalih Ibn Sa'd as-Suhaymee, Shaykh
Faalih Ibn Naafi', Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Haadee - all of them are known to us in uprightness and knowledge and sound 'aqeedah…"
He also mentions on the tape: "al-As.ilah as-Suwaydiyah": "Indeed Shaykh Rabee' is from amongst the scholars of the Sunnah".
Shaykh Ibn Baaz also permitted Shaykh Rabee' to teach in his masjid (Masjid Ibn Baaz) in Makkah. His lessons still continue to this day, and this is evidence
enough that the Shaykh died and he was pleased with Shaykh Rabee' and that which he was upon in creed and methodology.
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen on the tape "al-As.ilah as-Suwaydiyah" said: "…as for Shaykh Rabee, then regarding him, I do not know
anything but good, and the man is an upholder of the Sunnah and an upholder of Hadeeth"
He was asked on the tape "Kasf al-Lathaam 'an Mukhaalif Ahmad Salaam": "What is your advice for the one who forbids (listening to) the tapes of Shaykh
Rabee' Ibn Haadee with the claim that they stir up fitnah and within them is
praise for the rulers in the Kingdom and that his praise, i.e. Shaykh Rabee's praise for the rule, is hypocrisy?" The Shaykh responded: "Our opinion is that this
is incorrect and is a major error, and Shaykh Rabee' is from amongst the scholars of the Sunnah and the people of good and his 'aqeedah is sound and
his manhaj is correct…"Shaykh Dr. Saalih Ibn Fowzaan Ibn 'Abdullaah Ibn Fowzaan on the tape "al-
As.ilah as-Suwaydiyah", after mentioning Shaykh Rabee' along with a number of other scholars he said: "…and they are from amongst the distinguished scholars who have much experience in da'wah and refutation against those who desire to take the path of the da'wah outside it's correct path, so it is obligatory to circulate
their tapes because indeed in them there is great benefit for the Muslims"Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Subayyal (General President of the Affairs of al-Masjid al-Haraam (Makkah) and al-Masjid an-Nabawee (Madeenah), and the Imaam and Khateeb of al-Masjid al-Haraam) was asked about his opinion regarding whoever forbids (listening to) the tapes of the well-known scholars of Ahlus-
Sunnah such as Shaykh Muhammad Amaan al-Jaamee (rahima-hullaah) and Shaykh Rabee' Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee (hafitha-hullaah), whereby he says that
tapes of the Shaykh stir up fitnah. So the Shaykh responded: "Look! These two scholars (their tapes) are amongst the best tapes, they call to the Sunnah and holding firm to the Sunnah, however, none speaks about them (in this manner) except one who follows his desires, and those who speak most about them are
the people of partisanship who associate themselves with a group from amongst the groups, they are the ones who forbid these things. As for these two scholars well-known for their holding form to the Sunnah and their sound 'aqeedah upon the methodology of the Pious Predecessors, then they are amongst the best of
people"(Biography location

Shaykh 'Abdul-Muhsin Ibn Hamad al-'Abbaad
I am the one in need of Allaah, 'Abdul-Muhsin ibn Hamad ibn 'Abdul-Muhsin ibn 'Abdullaah ibn Hamad ibn 'Uthmaan Aal-Badar; and the family of Aal-Badar is
from Aal-Jalaas from the tribe of 'Unzah which is one of the tribes of al-'Adnaaniyyah and my great-grandfather 'Abdullaah added the name 'Abbaad and some of his children later became known by this name. My mother was the
daughter of my paternal uncle - Abu Sulaymaan ibn 'Abdullaah Aal Badar.I was born just after Salaat al-'Ishaa. on a Saturday night corresponding to the 3rd of Ramadhaan 1353 A.H. in the city of Az-Zulfah which is 300 kilometres
north of Riyadh.I learnt to read and write from the noble teachers 'Abdullaah ibn Ahmad al-
Munay' and then Zayd ibn Muhammed al-Munayfee and then 'Abdullaah ibn 'Abdur-Rahmaan al-Ghayth under whom I completed the Qur.aan and then
Faalih ar-Roomee.When the elementary school was established in az-Zulfah in 1368 A.H, I
transferred there to the second year (level). When I completed my elementary studies in 1371 A.H, I then transferred to the Ma'had al-'Ilmee in Riyadh the
following year. I then transferred to the faculty of Sharee'ah.During my final year at the faculty, I was appointed a teacher at the Ma'had
al-'Ilmee in Buraydah on 13th Jumaada al-Oolaa 1379 A.H. Then at the and of the academic year, I returned to Riyadh to sit my final exams at the faculty.
Allaah blessed me by my graduating (with the highest grades) and I came first from amongst all my fellow students who were 80 (in total) - and who were the
fourth set of graduates from the faculty of Sharee'ah. As such, I also came first in (all) the three previous years. When I recieved my certification from the Ma'had al-'Ilmee in Riyadh in 1380 A.H, I turned to teaching at the Ma'had al-'Ilmee in
Riyadh.When al-Jaami'ah al-Islaamiyyah (Islaamic University) in Madeenah was
established, Allaah blessed me by being amongst those who were selected to teach there by the noble Shaykh, Muhammed ibn Ibraaheem Aal ash-Shaykh.
The first faculty which was established was the faculty of Sharee'ah which began classes on Sunday 2nd Jumaada ath-Thaaniyah 1381 A.H. - and from the
favours of Allaah upon me was that I was the first to teach a lesson on that day. From that day until now I have taught at the University and there is no-one at the University who has taught there longer since it was established other than me.
On 30th Rajab 1393 A.H I was appointed a deputy to the president of al-Jaami'ah al-Islaamiyyah after being selected by King Faysal for this post. I was one of
three who was proposed by the noble Shaykh 'Abdul-Azeez ibn 'Abdullaah ibn Baaz who was then the president of the University.
I remained at this post until 26th Shawwaal 1399 A.H whereby I asked him to excuse me after I felt an urge within myself during the first two years of these six years when I was second-in-charge; and when the noble Shaykh 'Abdul-Azeez
ibn 'Abdullaah ibn Baaz transferred to the presidency of the Department of Knowledge-based Research and Legal Rulings, I became first in command. And
during those six years, I was only able to teach 2 lessons a week to the fourth year students at the faculty of Sharee'ah. During this time, I felt an enormous
responsibility and a heavy burden (due to my position as president of the University) that I exerted myself - such that I hope it counts much with Allaah -
and in those six years I was able to oversee the implementation of a new policy at the University whereby it changed from being a government entity to an
institution and then the establishment of the Department of Higher Studies for both Masters and Doctorate programmes and the establishment of the faculty of
the Noble Qur.aan and Islaamic Studies, the faculty of Hadeeth and Islaamic Studies and the faculty of Arabic Language.
During this time, the size of the land granted for the University increased many-fold.The University completed architectual plans for the new faculties, granting them the highest priority, increasing the number of students at the University to 20,000. These plans incorporated all the needs of this large number in terms of the (different) faculties, the departments and centres, student accomodation and services and other than these. During this time, the University printing press was
also established.My first trip outside the city of az-Zulfah was to Makkah to perform Hajj in 1370
A.H. and thereafter to Riyadh to seek knowledge at the Ma'had al-'Ilmee.I still possess my notebooks of the different years of my elementary studies
starting from the second year and they are the most beloved and precious of all that I possess.
The first book I ever had in my personal library was a copy of ((Buloogh al-Maraam)) of al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalaanee. I acquired it before I began my elementary studies, whereupon I have written in my own handwriting the date of
6th of Muharram 1368 A.H.And from the most beloved of all things to me is my immense love for the
companions of the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and radhi-yallaahu 'anhum, and my hatred for those who hate them. Allaah has
blessed me with sons and daughters, and I have named four of my sons the names of the rightly-guided Khulafaa. after having named one of them after the Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam). And I named some of my daughters the names of the Mothers of the Believers, after having named one of
them Faatimah, the leader of the believing women.And this is some of what I recall about myself, which I have penned just as a reminder of the blessings of Allaah, and how short I fall and what little I have done (in this life) for the Hereafter. I ask Allaah to grant me success in being
truthful in speech, and sincere in my actions and to attain beneficial knowledge and actions in accordance to it, indeed He is the All-Hearing and Responding.

studying for a period of time. In 1381AH, he studied at Dar al-Hadith in Medina, then he continued at the Maýhadul-ýIlmee (Center). He entered the Shariah college at the University. He graduated from there in the year 1392AH with
excellent grades. He came first in his group. of Medina of Knowledge
His Teachers
As for his teachers then all of them have grace after Allah in educating, cultivating and having the correct understanding of the religion of Allah. From
amongst his teachers at Darul-Hadith (in Medina, Saudi Arabia) are:
Shaikh Sayfur-Rahman ibn AhmadShaikh Ammar ibn Abdillah
His teachers at the Center of Knowledge in Medina, Saudi Arabia
Shaikh Abdullah ibn Abdul-Azeez al-KhudairShaikh Awdah ibn Talq al-Ahmad

Shaikh Muhammad ibn Abdillah al-Ajlýn
His teachers at the University of Medina
The Allamah Muhaddith Hammad ibn Muhammad al-AnsareeThe Allamah Muhaddith Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbad
Shaikh Abu Bakr al-Jazairi
His work
He used to be the Imam in Masjid Sabq in Medina from 1387AH till 1392AH.He was a teacher at an intermediate school in Jeddah called Umar ibn Abdul-
Azeez from 1392H till 1396H.He was a caller at the Dawah Center in Medina and would take charge when the

retired according to the retirement age in the law. During his stay there, he studied for and obtained a Masters degree in Tafsir.
His Character and love of Ahlus Sunnah
The Shaikh is very kind to his students, accepts people from all over the world to his house to ask questions and to benefit. He spends most of his time teaching
either at his local mosque, his house, over the phone to the students in the Prophet's Mosque, and over the internet. Last year, the Shaikh mentioned that he has about fifteen lessons a week. His care and concern for spreading knowledge
and teaching the books of the scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah is very apparent. The Shaikh travels inside and outside the kingdom for daýwah even though he cannot
see. I have never heard him complain once about his loss of sight. Rather, he has excelled in what Allaah has given him in terms of his knowledge, memory
and understanding of this religion.
The Shaikh also has a good sense of humour. He takes a lot of interest and care with his family, always providing for them and taking time and effort to please them. The Shaikh has a lot of love for children and plays with them and also
teaches them, mashaAllaah.
He loves Ahlus-Sunnah and particularly always asking about his brothers from the scholars around the Kingdom and elsewhere. Last year (1425AH), he met Shaikh Muhammad Abdul-Wahhab al-Banna in the Haram in Makkah and they
both hugged each other. Shaikh Muhammad al-Banna cried when he saw Shaikh Ubayd for the love he had for him and invited the Shaikh to his house for dinner.
The scholars continue to praise Shaikh Ubayd al-Jaabiree and recognize his knowledge and understanding mashaaAllah. Shaikh Salih ibn Fawzan was asked about Shaikh Ubayd al-Jabiri and he said take benefit from him as he is known to be from the scholars. Other elder scholars such as Shaikh Dr. Salih as-Suhaimi,
teacher in the Islamic University of Madýnah and likewise teacher in the Prophetic Mosque has much love for the Shaikh and praises his knowledge and understanding. Likewise, Shaikh Rabi ibn Hadi advises the students to benefit
from his knowledge and his understanding. He said recently, "benefit as much as you can, my son, for I am now 72 years old and I do not know when my time will
come"
As to those who have spoken ill of him from the hate mongers, he said, "You do not expect innovators to put out flowers in front of you, don't worry about what
they say, tread this path, the path of knowledge for the Prophet was not free from being insulted."
And he said, "knowledge without wisdom is destruction. It is upon the callers to have knowledge and wisdom and this comes from sitting with the scholars."
Recently he sent a letter to Shaikh Saalih bin Fawzaan thanking him for his efforts after reading an article of the shaikh on being upright.

Shaykh Taariq as-Subay'eeAmongst his teachers are ash-Shaykh al-Imaam 'Abdul-'Azeez ibn 'Abdullaah ibn
Baaz and ash-Shaykh Muhammad Amaan al-Jaamee rahimahumullah. The Shaykh lived and studied in Makkah, close to ash-Shaykh Rabee' ibn Haadee al-
Madkhalee, for twenty years before returning to Kuwait at the request of his mother.
The shaykh is not known to do tele-link lectures and classes, but his classes are extremely beneficial for those who are present in Kuwait.
One of the noble students of Shaykh Taariq is ash-Shaykh Aboo 'Uthmaan Muhammad al-Anjaree, who also resides in Kuwait. Shaykh Muhammad al-
Anjaree is also the brother-in-law of ash-Shaykh Taariq as-Subay'ee. In addition, Shaykh Taariq's younger brother, ash-Shaykh Ahmed as-Subay'ee, is also one
of the noble scholars of Kuwait.
According to ash-Shaykh al-Anjaree, Shaykh Taariq as-Subay'ee is the most knowledgeable of the scholars of Kuwait. ash-Shaykh al-Anjaree has also
praised ash-Shaykh Taariq as-Subay'ee by saying that Kuwait has not seen the likes of Shaykh Taariq. From that which shows the status and position of ash-
Shaykh Taariq as-Subay'ee is that Shaykh al-Anjaree will not give a dars if Shaykh Taariq is giving a dars, in order to give preference to ash-Shaykh Taariq.
And ash-Shaykh Ahmed ibn 'Umar Baazmool, who is a teacher at Daar-ul-Hadeeth al-Khayriyyah in Makkah, and has studied with some of the scholars of Makkah such as Shaykh Muhammad 'Alee ibn Aadam at-Ityoobee and Shaykh
Muhammad as-Subayyal, has praised ash-Shaykh Taariq as-Subay'ee by calling him the Salafee 'Aalim in Kuwait and he also advised the students of knowledge
to gain knowledge from ash-Shaykh Taariq.
May Allaah preserve the shaykh and the other scholars of Kuwait, and make them a benefit for this Ummah and a guidance for it.

Forum=19&Topic=8453 )Shaykh Zayd bin Muhammad bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee
His Name and Lineage:He is the noble shaikh and the esteemed scholar, Zayd bin Muhammad bin
Haadee Al-Madkhalee.
His Birth and Upbringing:He was born in a town called Rukoobah in Saudi Arabia in 1357H. This is where he grew up and began his first studies. Afterward, he joined the Salafee School in Saamitah. In 1368H, he came in contact with Shaikh Haafidh Al-Hakamee in Beesh and studied under him along with the other students, who were studying
away from home. When the educational institute (maýahad) was opened in Saamitah, he enrolled in it and graduated from it in 1379H/1380H. After this, he
enrolled in the College of Shareeýah in Riyadh, where he graduated from in 1383/1384H.
Before graduating, he was appointed as a teacher in the educational institute of Saamitah, where he continued to teach until he retired in 1/7/1417H. He founded
the first charitable Salafee Library of Saamitah in 1416H, which contains more than four thousand books. He made it as a service for the students of knowledge
who seek shelter in it, coming from every region.
His Role in Da'wahHis gatherings are not devoid of students seeking knowledge from him or people seeking religious verdicts from him. He has an active role in the Daýwah (Call) to Allaah in the district of Jaazaan, as well as during the days of Hajj. His classes
are still ongoing ý all praise be to Allaah ý such that both abridged books as well as large works are studied under him.
He is considered the second man in the district of Jaazaan with regard to knowledge, fatwaa, and calling to Allaah (Daýwah) after Shaikh Ahmad bin
Yahyaa An-Najmee.[2] May Allaah lengthen both of them in lifespan.
Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmee was asked: ýO Shaikh! What do you say about one who says: ýI donýt recognize Shaikh Zayd Al-Madkhalee or Shaikh Rabeeý Al-
Madkhalee. I donýt recognize them to be from the scholars and I wonýt take any knowledge from them. I donýt acknowledge anyone except Shaikh ýAbdul-
ýAzeez bin Baaz.ý So how would you respond to this?ý
The Shaikh answered: ýWe ask Allaah to guide this person and to grant him direction, for indeed, Shaikh Rabeeý Al-Madkhalee and Shaikh Zayd Al-
Madkhalee ý both of them are from the sincere Salafee scholars. He must acknowledge and be aware of this. And he must not disparage them, because
disparaging them means disparaging the Sunnah of Allaahýs Messenger, which they are carrying. We are not saying that they are free from error. However, their methodology is Salafee. So the students of knowledge must read their books and
get to know the truth that is in themýý [3]Footnotes:

Qaseem (Saudi Arabia), in the year 1360H. The Shaikh grew up in the city of Al-Bukairiyah and studied under its scholars. There, he memorized the Quraan and
studied the introductory levels.
The Shaikh was raised amidst a pious family. Later on, he traveled to the city of Riyadh and enrolled in the Imaam Muhammad bin Suood Islamic University,
joining the College of Shareeah in it. He graduated from there and then joined the College of Usool-ud-Deen under the Creed and Modern-Day Beliefs branch
for the purpose of teaching there. The Shaikh continues to serve as an associate professor of this branch.
The Shaikh served as a student under a number of teachers in Bukairiyah and a number of senior scholars in Riyadh. Amongst his teachers are:
1. Shaikh Abdul-Azeez bin Baaz ý He accompanied him (as a devoted student) from the time he came to Riyadh from Madeenah up until his death, may Allaah have mercy on him. He benefited immensely from him in his manner and way of
dealing with the texts, and his explanation of the books of the scholars.
2. Shaikh Abdullaah bin Humaid, the head of the Higher Judicial Council, may Allaah have mercy on him.
The Shaikh has an active participation in the field of knowledge and education. This is by way of his authoring books and his supervision of the academic
treatises that are submitted in order to gain the Masters and Doctors degree in the Creed and Modern-Day Beliefs branch. Amongst these, was his supervision
over the verification of the book of Shaikh-ul-Islaam Ibn Taimiyyah known as Bayaan Talbees al-Jahmiyyah. This book will be released soon, Allaah willing. This also includes his supervision of the verification of the didactic poem of Ibn
Al-Qayyim called Al-Kaafiyah As-Shaafiyah..
The Shaikh, may Allaah preserve him, holds various lessons in seven different times throughout the week, which are as follows:
1. Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays after the Fajr Prayer in the Al-Ameer Sultaan Mosque in Rabwah.
2. Sundays and Mondays after the Maghrib Prayer in the new Raajihee Masjid.

He also participates in educational seminars in the city of Riyadh, as well as outside from it during the summer. This is also in addition to the lessons he holds
in Al-Masjid Al-Haraam.
Several knowledge-based books and texts of treatises have been read and continue to be read in his presence (i.e. for the purpose of memorization,
precision in wording and studying). Amongst these books are:
On Hadeeth:Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree, Saheeh Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, Sunan At-
Tirmidhee,Sunan An-Nasaaýee, Sunan Ibn Maajah, the Muwattaý of Imaam Maalik, Saheeh Ibn Khuzaimah, Buloogh-ul-Maraam, and Riyadh-us-Saaliheen

On Hadeeth:Nukhbat-ul-Fikr

Additional Notes:One only need refer to Shaikh Rabee bin Haadee Al-Madkhalees introduction to
his monumental book: The Methodology of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaaýah on Criticizing Individuals, Books and groups [Published by Al-Ibaanah Book
Publishing, 2005] to see the high position and status the Shaikh held with the
scholars, such that when Shaikh Rabeeýpresented his book for Imaam Abdul-Azeez bin Baazs review, the latter passed it on to his student, Shaikh Abdul-
Azeez Ar-Raajihee to review and study it on his behalf and give him his opinion on it.
After the Shaikhs review of the book, Imaam Ibn Baaz replied to Shaikh Rabees request, stating: ýI am attaching here for you the letter I received in response
from Shaikh Abdul-Azeez bin Abdillaah Ar-Raajihee concerning your book The Methodology of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaah on Criticizing Individuals, Books and
Groups since I had forwarded it to him due to my inability to review it. So he responded with what he saw concerning the book and his response pleased me,
all praise be to Allaah. And I am pleased with the research you did in it.
Such an example shows the following:
1. Shaikh Ar-Raajihees close connection to the senior scholars2. Imaam Ibn Baazs trust and reliance in him
3. Shaikh Ar-Raajihees uprightness in Creed and Methodology, such that he was pleased and approved of the contents of the book presented to him
4. His love for knowledge and eagerness to review texts and treatises.
For more of an insight into the Shaikhs works and efforts, please visit his web site at www.shrajhi.com There you will be able to find some of his transcribed
lectures and lessons. One of his lessons on the explanation of Imaam Muhammad bin Abdil-Wahhaabs treatise The Nullifiers of Islaam was translated
and can be found here http://www.al-ibaanah.com/ebooks.php?EID=33.
At the time of this translation, the Shaikh has reached the age of 65, may Allaah preserve him.
