ImageSweet Fruits from the Life of a Scholar

Translated by: Abu ‘Abdis Salaam Siddiq Al Juyaanee

The great teacher, scholar of Hadeeth, the leader of the people of the Sunnah of his time, Imaam Al Albaanee (may Allah have mercy upon him) said when speaking auto-biographically,

“I did not finish school.  This was due to my father (may Allah have mercy upon him) who perhaps by doing this struck a target that he was not necessarily aiming for.  (I say this) because from what I have witnessed, had I finished the “Academy School System” I don’t think I would have accomplished that which I have accomplished and become who I am today (and Allah knows best). 

This is because “the Western Styled School System” could never produce scholars.  This school system however, could (facilitate and in some aspects) make easy the way for the one who wishes to persist in the research of many different disciplines; however, (the attainment of this accomplishment) is extremely rare (when looking at) the graduates of this system. 

Thus, my father (may Allah have mercy upon him) did not agree with this “Western Styled School System” –which he had right not to agree with it- because it does not teach the Sharee’ah. 

After removing me from “school” my father decided that I should study with the Scholars...”[1]



[1] Translator’s note: It could be arguably stated that Shaikh Al Albaanee (may Allah have mercy upon him) was “homeschooled”.  Note, that this great Imaam went on to teach as a professor in the Islaamic University of Madinah, and was one of the leading Scholars of his time.  The great scholar of Hadeeth and former Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Imaam ‘Abdul ‘Azeez Bin Baaz (may Allah have mercy upon him) said, “I have no doubt that he (Shaikh Al Albaanee) is the reviver of Islaam (of this century).”

 

Insha Allah this will serve as an encouragement to all homeschoolers as well as another example that their children are in no way at a disadvantage.  If anything, it may be quite the opposite as Imaam Al Albaanee (may Allah have mercy upon him)  said,

 

“The Western Styled School System could never produce scholars.”
