Haul of Imam 'Abdallah Al-Haddad October 31, 2008

Masjid Baitul Aman Kuala Lumpur and the Al-Haddad family are organising the Haul of the great Imam Abdallah Al-Haddad. “Haul” is the Arabic word for what is known as ‘anniversary commemoration’.

The Messenger of God, salallahu alaihi wasallam, prophesied that in every century Allah would raise up amongst his nation a man who would renew its religion. Imam ‘Abdallah al-Haddad was the renewer, or Mujaddid, of the 12th Islamic century. He was renowned, and deser vedly so, for the breadth of his knowledge and his manifest sanctity. The profundity of his influence on Muslims is reflected by the fact his books are still in print throughout the Islamic world. He was born in Tarim, in the hills of Hadramaut, one of the southerly regi ons of the Arabian peninsula, and grew up in an environment where the accent was upon piety, frugality, erudition, and an uncompromising thirst for gnosis (ma’rifa). He is a direct descendant of Prophet Muhammad, salallahu alaihi wasallam.
