May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is for Allah, the Most High, the Most Great, the Possessor of

الْفَضْلِ الْوَاسِعِ وَالْمَنِّ التَّوَابِعِ وَالنِّعَمِ السَّوَابِغِ وَالْحُجَجِ الْبَوَالِغِ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ

vast bounty, continuous favor, abundant blessings, and reaching proofs. And I bear witness that there is no god

إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، الْعَدْلُ فِي قَضَائِهِ، الْحَكِيمُ فِي أَفْعَالِهِ، يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيَخْتَارُ،

except Allah alone, who has no partner, the Just in His decree, the Wise in His actions, who creates what He wills and chooses.

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُهُ الْمُصْطَفَى وَنَبِيُّهُ الْمُرْتَضَى، اخْتَارَهُ اللهُ لِرِسَالَتِهِ وَمُسْتَوْدَعِ

And I bear witness that Muhammad is His chosen messenger and His pleasing prophet, Allah chose him for His message and the depository of

أَمَانَتِهِ، فَجَعَلَ جَعَلَهُ خَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَخَيْرَ خَلْقِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ، صَلَّى اللهُ وَسَلَّمَ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْهِ أَفْضَلَ

His trust, so He made him He made him the seal of the prophets and the best of all His creation. May Allah send blessings, peace, and grace upon him, the best

صَلَاةٍ وَأَنْمَاهَا، وَعَلَى إِخْوَانِهِ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ، وَعَلَى آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ، وَعَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ

blessing and the most increasing, and upon his brothers among the prophets, and upon his good and pure family, and upon his companions,

الْغُرِّ الْمَيَامِينِ، وَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمًا مَزِيدًا، حَيَّاكُمُ اللهُ إِخْوَانِي وَأَخَوَاتِي إِلَى أُولَى مَجَالِسِ هَذَا

the noble and blessed ones, and send abundant peace. Welcome, my brothers and sisters, to the first session of this

الْبَرْنَامَجِ سِيرَةِ إِمَامٍ، نَتَحَدَّثُ فِيهِ عَنْ سِيرَةِ الْعُلَمَاءِ الْأَعْلَامِ وَالَّذِينَ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ إِسْهَامَاتٌ

program, "Biography of an Imam," in which we talk about the biography of prominent scholars who had

كَبِيرَةٌ فِي خِدْمَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَذَلِكَ مِنْ خِلَالِ هَذَا التُّرَاثِ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي خَلَّفُوهُ لِلْأُمَّةِ،

great contributions in serving Islam and the Muslims, and that is through this great heritage which they left behind for the nation,

وَالَّتِي مَا زَالَتْ تَتَفَيَّأُ ظِلَالَهُ وَتَنْهَلُ مِنْ مَعِينِهِ وَتَكْرَعُ مِنْ حِيَاضِهِ، وَكَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ

which is still resting in its shade, drinking from its fresh spring, and taking sips from its basins. And it was a right upon every Muslim to
