About Author
The author Shaykh Muhammad ibn `Abdu’l-Wahhāb ibn Sulaymān al-Tamīmī was born in the year 1115H/1703AD in `Uyaynah approximately seventy kilometres north of Riyāḍ and died in the year 1206H/1792AD at Dar`iyyah.
He studied under numerous scholars in `Uyaynah, Mecca, Madina, Baṣra and Huraymlā and was highly proficient in Ḥanbalī jurisprudence, Arabic language and Qur’ānic exegesis.
He acquired his primary education from his esteemed father at his native place and was nurtured under his guidance. He was intelligent enough to memorize the Qur'an by heart at the very tender age of ten only. He read the books on Tafseer (exegesis), Hadith and Fiqh. From the very outset, he was greatly interested in studying the works of early scholars, particularly those of Sheikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah and his noble disciple Allamah Ibn Al-Qayyim. He went through all those books and well grasped the contents. On attaining the age of maturity, he set out to perform Hajj at Makkah and derived benefits from the scholars there. He then proceeded to Al-Madinah, met the learned ones there, and adopted the studentship of two renowned erudite, Sheikh Abdullah bin Ibrahim bin Sa'id Najdi and Sheikh Muhammad Hayat Sindhi for a long period. Out of the curiosity for higher education, he took also the journey to Iraq and Basrah and got himself benefited there.
He was devout, highly intelligent and had an excellent memory. His call was to the revival of Tawḥīd away from the innovations and superstitions that had crept into the belief of many Muslims and this da`wah spread throughout the world.
