Shaykh Mamdūḥ exposes the flaws in Al-Albani’s research and reasoning. He also reveals how his views contravene that of the overwhelming majority of scholars throughout Islamic history including many of those who Al-Albānī himself admired and emulated in a number of areas, like Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiya, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziya, and Imam ‘Alī al-Shawkānī.
I can personally relate many stories of how I personally witnessed this improper application of understanding bid'ah from people who follow Shaykh al-Albani in this (and how harmful it has been), so to see this clarification from the viewpoint of the science of hadith is truly refreshing.
The Lamppost Education Initiative is pleased to present this fascinating work that responds to the claim by the famed hadith scholar, Shaykh Muhammad Nasir Al-Albani, that the dhikr beads are an innovation (bid’a) of the Deen.
This is a translation of the book entitled Wuṣūl at-Tahānī bi ithbāti sunniyyati al-subḥati wal-raddu ‘alā Al-Albānī, or ‘Achieving Enjoyment by Establishing that Dhikr Beads are Sunna and the Rebuttal of Al-Albānī
Dr. Abdullah bin Hamid Ali has translated this work of the hadith scholar Shaykh Mahmud Sa’id Mamduh which provides a detailed defense of the use of dhikr beads by directly responding to the hadith based arguments of Shaykh Al-Albani.
This work is now available on Amazon in paperback and for your Kindle reader. Please click the links below to order your copy of this unique work today.
