DescriptionAbu al-Hasan Malik al-Akhdar | Al-Rahmaniyyah PressPrior to 1358 AHL, the area spanning southern Saudi Arabia and northern Yemen was steeped in superstitions, ignorance, acts of polytheism, and innovations, But Allah decreed that the Shaykh, the reformer, Abd Allah al-Qur’awi would settle in the region and establish the call of the Prophets and Messengers: the call to Tawhid. He instituted schools, built mosques, delivered sermons, taught lessons in towns and villages, and introduced thousands of men, women, and children to the methodology of the Salaf. He was, as Shaykh Rabi’ b. Hadi al-Madkhali said of him, “knowledgeable, pious, ascetic, earnest, patient and dependent upon [Allah Alone in his call. He was Salafi in creed, upon the aqidah of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jama’ah.”The Rulers and Scholars on Shaykh ‘Abd Allah al-Qur’awi and His Call “He exerted great effort in calling to Allah, enjoining good, forbidding evil, and establishing schools and circles of learning, Allah blessed the people to benefit from his efforts. He spread knowledge and taught numerous students. Many things that oppose the correct creed, sincere worship, and right conduct disappeared by means of Allah (first], then by the efforts of [Shaykh ‘Abd Allah al-Qar’awi] and his students. May Allah grant him well, multiply his reward, and make his offspring virtuous.” -Al-Imam ‘Abd al-Aziz b. Baz on Shaykh ‘Abd Allah al-Qur’awi“We have absolutely no doubts concerning your efforts to propagate the religion, guide the people in your region, teach the truth, and spread knowledge in areas that for so long had been benighted by the darkness of ignorance and misguidance.” -King Sa’ud b. ‘Abd al-Aziz Ali Sa’ud to Shaykh ‘Abd Allah al-Qar’awi“We are aware that your goals and aspirations are commendable and [done out of love for good, the spread of the da’wah, and the reformation of the Muslims.” -Shaykh Muhammad b. Ibrahim to Shaykh ‘Abd Allah al-Qar’awi
