THE IDEAL MUSLIMAH

Shaykhah Umm ‘Abdillaah ‘Aa’ishah Bint Muqbil Ibn Haadi, Al-Wadi’eeyah:

She is the daughter of Shaykh Muqbil, a late Yemeni scholar. She is one who loves the Sunnah [Prophetic Guidance] and calls to Allaah upon knowledge and understanding, and is a strong researcher who hates blind following and strives on understanding the proof and acting upon it. Her students love her and she loves them with a strong love, and Allaah benefited her students by her, and made some of them callers to Allaah as well.

She teaches ‘As-Sunnah’ by Ibn Abee ‘Aasim, and ‘Qatarun-Nadaa’ and she has previously taught ‘Al-Qawlul-Mufeed’ by the esteemed Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Abdil Wahhaab Al-Wasaabee, and ‘Fath Al-Majeed Sharh Kitaabit-Tawheed’ and other books as well.

She has authored ‘Naseehatee lin-Nisaa’ (My Advice to the Women), which has been published by Daar Al-Athaar and which is now available in the English language. Also ‘As-Saheeh Al-Musnad min As-Shamaa’il Al-Muhammadiyyah’, related to the Prophet’s (sallallahu a'lyhi wa sallam) characteristics and descriptions, published by Daar Al-Athaar. And a treatise that is waiting to be printed, ‘Al-’Ilm wal-’Ulemaa’ (The Knowledge and Scholars). She is currently working on the verification and explanation of ‘As-Sunnah’ (The Prophetic Guidance) by Ibn Abee ‘Aasim including Islamic Jurisprudence, the religious importance of traveling for knowledge, and the rulings on the Prophetic Narrations, authentic and weak, without blindly following anyone from the people of this time or other than them. She is also working on ‘As-Saheeh Al-Musnad min As-Seerati An-Nabawiyyah’, regarding the Prophet’s (sallallahu a'lyhi wa sallam) life, and she also has a beneficial commentary on the book of ‘Bulagh Al Maraam’ by Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajar, which contains Prophetic Narrations concerning jurisprudence.

All of this she does along with answering letters that are sent to her from within Yemen and outside of it, and Allaah has made it sufficient for her to continue the journey in the service of the Prophet’s Sunnah [Prophetic Guidance].

May Allaah protect her and her students from ignorant partisanship, aameen (may it be so).

She has also studied ‘At-Tihfat As-Sunniyah’ and ‘Al-Mutamama' and ‘As-Sifaat As-Salaah’ by Shaykh Al-Albaanee. Umm Shu’ayb has authored, ‘As-Saheeh Al-Musnad min Fadaa’il Ahlil Baytu An-Nabawee’ with clarification of what it needs from the explanation of some of the words. She is now working on ‘As-Saheeh Al-Musnad min Al-Adaab An-Nabawee’, as well as reviewing books of explanation and recalling some of the benefits and elucidating some of the general expressions in the book. May Allaah (a'zza wa jall) grant her good.

She continues upon good and gaining beneficial knowledge. She used to attend Shaykh Muqbil’s lessons and other lectures from behind a curtain. May Allaah keep her firm and strong on the truth and benefit Islaam and the Muslims by her. And in spite of all this, she used to serve and help him with research as well as one could possibly wish. May Allaah grant her good.
