Shaykh Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albani

About the Author

Shaykh Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albani (1914-1999) was a renowned Albanian-born Islamic scholar, hadith expert, and influential figure in the Salafi movement, widely regarded as one of the foremost muhaddithun of the 20th century. Orphaned at a young age, he immersed himself in the study of hadith under the guidance of his father and later became a self-taught authority through meticulous research in libraries across the Arab world. Exiled from Syria and eventually settling in Jordan, Al-Albani dedicated his life to reviving authentic Sunnah practices, critiquing weak narrations, and authoring over a hundred books on Islamic jurisprudence, prayer, and creed. His rigorous methodology emphasized returning to the Quran and verified hadith, influencing generations of Muslims seeking unadulterated Islamic teachings. Notable among his works is 'The Prophet’s Prayer Described by Sheikh Al-Albani: An Abridgement How to Pray Salah A Step-by-Step Guide to Prayer in Islam,' a concise yet comprehensive manual on the Prophet's method of worship.
