The Legacy of Sayyidunā ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd

The Legacy of Sayyidunā ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 17th November 2023 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester Video: The talk centres on the profound legacy of ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd (r.a), one of the most trusted companions of the Prophet ﷺ, exploring his extensive knowledge and its enduring influence within Islamic scholarship. ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd was depicted as a key figure whose teachings shaped significant schools of thought, particularly the Hanafi school of Fiqh, and his role in Kufa as a lead teacher established a foundation for subsequent scholars. Despite facing some criticisms from contemporary figures, the talk underscores that many misconceptions arise from ignorance about scholarship and hadith transmission. Furthermore, the discussion elaborates on the geographical spread and historical context behind the four main Islamic schools of thought, illustrating how ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd's teachings were instrumentally passed down through numerous layers of scholars, culminating in what is known today as the Hanafi school. The talk emphasizes the importance of unity, respect for differences, and the need to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of the sahaba and their successors who have preserved the teachings of Islam through generations. The message calls for a renewed appreciation and understanding of Islamic teachings, grounding responses to criticisms in knowledge-based dialogue and respect. Below are some of the topics mentioned in this talk: - Criticisms Faced by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud - Historical Context of the Schools of Fiqh - Responses to Criticism - Differences of Schools of Fiqh and Recitation (Qira'ah) - Contributions of Abdullah ibn Masood in Kufa - The Masahif (copies) of the Quran - The Students of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud - Collective Knowledge of the Scholars of the past ********************************************************************** Website: YouTube: Facebook: X: Instagram - **********************************************************************
