معهد الفتح الإسلامي يرحب بكم

Shaykh Muhammad Adib Kallas, the great Islamic scholar, Hanafi faqih, theologian, and teacher of scholars, has died today–October 21st, 2009–in Damascus, Syria. He was 88 years old, having lived a life dedicated to knowledge, teaching, and selfless service to seekers of knowledge.

Those who were fortunate to have met him agree that he was one of the most remarkable of people you could meet. Despite being a mountain of knowledge, he was a man of deep humility and pure, sincere service to others. Even into his 80′s, he would serve tea himself to his guests, and give time to even beginner students and would entertain even the most basic of questions.

The Virtues of Teaching & Transmitting Guidance

In this podcast, Shaykh Faraz explains the virtues of conveying knowledge and discusses the following two narrations:

Sahl ibn Sa`d (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said to Ali ibn Abi Talib, “By Allah! For Allah to guide a single person through you is better for you than red camels.” [Bukhari & Muslim; this wording is Muslim’s]

Mu`adh ibn Anas (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “Whoever teaches knowledge to others shall have the reward of those who act upon it, without this dimishing the reward of those people in any way.” [Ibn Maja]
