Al-Hafidh Abdul-Ghani bin Abdul-Wahid Al-Maqdisi(His Life and Ordeal)

Abstract

The prophets and messengers are leading the humankind. After them come their companions and missionaries, and then, their followers till the day of resurrection. One of those followers is Al-Hafidh Abdul-Ghani bin Abdul-Wahid. He is regarded one of the modernizers in the 6th and 7th centuries of Al-Hegira and he left a clear impression on Al-Hadith science. He differs from his contemporary modernizers in following the Islamic Law that is derived from the Glorious Qur’an and Sunna. He is Salafi who follows Al-Hanbali’s creed. He had a strong personality with veneration and dignity.
