    About this ebook

    Abdullah bin Mubarak was a pious Muslim of early Islamic history who is known for his zeal for religious knowledge with an emphasis on Hadith sciences. His transformation from a young adult indulged in music and entertainment to a serious student of religion captivates one's imagination, as does his sincere quest to gain knowledge. His most outstanding characteristic is the balance he achieved in his life - he would spend a third of his time in seeking knowledge and earning his livelihood (he was a trader), a third in Jihad and the remaining in Hajj. He was also known for his charitable spending and generosity. His teachers included leading scholars such as Sufyan Thawri, Imam Malik and Imam Abu Hanifa. Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal said about him that there was no one more eager to travel long distances for seeking knowledge. Abdullah bin Mubarak was declared unanimously as the most prominent scholar of his time in a gathering of religious scholars. Remarkably, he excelled in all aspects including jurisprudence, literature, grammar, language, speech, poetry, spirituality and worship, Jihad, Hajj, avoidance of idle talk, charity and dealing with relatives and friends.

      Foreword

      All praise is for Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

      When Sr. Naima Sohaib approached me regarding the translation of one personality from her book Tareekh-e-Islam ki Qabil-e-Fakhr Shakhsiaat I chose Abdullah bin Mubarak. This is because he dedicated his life to acquire and impart the knowledge of the truth, something the Muslim youth today seem to be lacking. The crisis we face today is partly the crisis of knowledge.  Abu Hurairah (RA) reports that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, Allah makes the way to paradise easy for him who treads the path in search of knowledge. [Muslim]. There is an abundance of information available on every topic imaginable, but very few students work hard to delve deeper into the treasure of wisdom and knowledge left by classical Islamic scholars.

      Abdullah bin Mubarak’s transformation from a young adult indulged in music and entertainment to a serious student of religion has lessons for us. Who can be a better role model than a young man who strove his whole life to seek knowledge, acted on it himself and spread it to others? His timeless advice to students – to be sincere, pay attention to the teacher, ponder over and memorize the lessons and spread the learning – is as beneficial today as it was in his time.

      I hope those who read this biography will realize that seeking true knowledge with the right intention is the starting point for success in this life and next. May Allah reward Naima for leading this project of building awareness of our true heroes and Sohaib Umar for editing this booklet.
