.......Among
the recent past and contemporary great scholars of Islamic World............. I am truly impressed by following.
(With having full respect for all other Scholars and I am not restricting this list there are many more great scholar that should be in this list)
1. Mufakkire Islam Fazilatus Sheikh Maulana Abul hasan Ali Nadvi Rahimullah. (India)
2.Mufti Ibraheem Desai Damat Barkatuhum (South Africa)
3.Mufti Taqi Usmani Sb . Damat Barkatuhum (Pakistan)
(May Allah give Barkat in their and all other Ulema life )
What
touches my heart most about these Scholars are..................
1.They are ocean of knowledge at the same time true Researcher, going in depth of Quran and Hadith.
2. They are combination of knowledge and Spirituality/ Ihsan/ Tazkiyah.................. This is core of Islam. Allah pak in Quran e Pak has mentioned Dawat, Taleem amd Tazkiya as three objective. Famous Hadith of Jibraeel Alihissalam in Bukhari and Muslim has three quetions 1. Islam 2 Emaan 3 Ihsan. .........Islam is not a philosophy or dry field of knowledge.
3. They remain free from Group mentality,
an infectious disease that has infected many Scholars, and has spoiled the ability of many good scholars.
Instead of Serving Islam they start serving the sectarian debates/Maslaks/Subideologies, they involve in Polemic discussion and debates .........waste their abilities.............. and sometimes even damage further and create Rift among Muslim Mass and divide the ummah. An infinite loss...........May Allah give the collective conscience for Ummah.
4. Even presenting difference of Opinion they present their argument in the best possible way with due respect to others by the taufeeq of Allah. Only Allah can give strength.
May Allah give more and more Scholars who are true representative of Islamic Knowledge and Practice.
