Sheikh albani death

His father was Al-Hajj Nooh, from the major Hanafee scholars of his land. Because of this, Al-Hajj Nooh migrated with all of his children, which included Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen, fleeing for the sake of his religion to the land of Shaam. He traveled to Shaam due to what was reported in the prophetic ahaadeeth about its virtues and merits.

And it is there that he and his family took residence. And it is in this city that he remained for the rest of his life as a scholar and teacher and a Faqeeh and educator. His Educational Background and Teachers: He received his education in a school, which was part of a relief shelter in Damascus, the capital of Syria. This school served as a place of refuge for seekers of knowledge for many previous generations.

Allaah made the science of the Prophetic Hadeeth beloved to him during the prime of his life and the early part of his youth. This book was printed many times. This book is still in manuscript form and not printed. The Shaykh was called and invited by many Islaamic universities and Muslim organizations around the world to take high positions with them, but he turned down most of them by making excuses due to his many preoccupations with regard to acquiring and teaching knowledge.

He was put in charge of teaching the subject of Prophetic Hadeeth in the Islaamic University of Madeenah at the time of its inception for the length of three years, beginning from the year H.
