His
name is Dr. Sa’d bin Naasir bin ‘Abdul-‘Azeez Aboo Habeeb ash-Shithree. He
comes from a family which is well-founded in knowledge. So it was at a young
age that Shaykh Sa’d begun to seek Islaamic knowledge. He completed his studies
at Imaam Muhammad bin Sa’ood University in ar-Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, graduating
from the faculty of Sharee’ah. Thereafter, he continued studying completing a master’s degree at the
same university. His dissertation was entitled, ‘The Difference between Usool
and Furoo’ (Principles and its Branches). He then went on to complete his
doctorate degree at the same university in 1417 AH with the thesis, ‘Definitive
and Subjective evidences with the Usooliyeen’.
Up
until now the Shaykh continues to work with the university in the Faculty of
Sharee’ah in ar-Riyadh, specialising in the disciplines of ‘Maqaasid

Shaykh
‘Abdul-‘Azeez aal ash-Shaykh, the Grand Muftee of Saudi Arabia [may Allaah
Preserve him] said about him:
The Shaykh in this lecture [The Realities of al-Emaan delivered in
Jaami' al-Imaam Turkee bin 'Abdallah (Jaami' al-Kabeer) in ar-Riyadh (5/6/1422)] has explained the foundations and principles in proficient manner and structured it impeccably.
He dealt with the topic which is extremely chaotic. How many have been mistaken
in their understanding and been led astray when trying to understand the issues
raised here?
However the Shaykh, may Allaah Assist him, has been
given precise knowledge and a strong understanding with the ability to clearly
explain, extracting from this topic a beneficial study.
The topic is surrounded with doubts which clouds the
truth from falsehood but the Shaykh simplified. There is no doubt that all of
this is with the success he has received from Allaah and His Guidance, the One He Guides the hearts of the believers:
“Oh Allaah! The Lord of Jibraaeel, Mikaaeel and
Israafeel! The Creator of the Heavens and the Earths! The One Who Knows the
unseen! You are the Judge between His Slaves in what they differed in! Guide me
from their differences to the truth, through Your Permission! Truly, You are
the One Who Guides Whom He Wills to the Straight Path![1]”
The one whom Allaah Guides, even if the people were to
differ with him, will find the clear and blatant truth, the upright methodology
which is in accordance to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger.
Those who gain this have been guided to the correct path. Surely, the texts of
the Quraan cannot be contradictory or incosistent and likewise the texts of the
Sunnah. Rather, all of it is clear and ready for us to learn from to whom
Allaah gives Success and Guides.
