Badiuzzaman Said Nursi
|
His biography
|
Said Nursi was born in Nurs, a Kurdish village in the Bitlis Vilayet (province) of the Ottoman Empire, in eastern Anatolia. He received his early education from scholars of his hometown,
where he showed mastery in theological debates. After developing a reputation
for Islamic knowledge, he was nicknamed "Bediuzzaman", meaning
"The most unique and superior person of the time". He was invited
by the governor of the Vilayet of Van to stay within his residency. In the governor's library, Nursi gained access to an archive of scientific knowledge he had not had access to previously. Said Nursi also learned the Ottoman Turkish language there. During this time, he developed a
plan for university education for the Eastern provinces of the Ottoman Empire. By combining scientific and religious (Islamic) education, the university was expected to
advance the philosophical thoughts of these regions. However, he was put on
trial in 1909 for his apparent involvement in the Ottoman countercoup of 1909 against the liberal reform movement named
the Committee of Union and
Progress, but he was acquitted
and released. He was active during the late Ottoman Caliphate as an educational reformer and advocate of the unity of the peoples of the
Caliphate. He proposed educational reforms to the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid
aiming to put the traditional Madrasah (seminary) training, Sufism (tasawwuf)
and the modern sciences in dialogue with each other. During World War I, Nursî was a member of the Ottoman Empire's "Special
Organization". In
January 1916 he was captured by Russian forces and taken to Russia as a
prisoner of war, where he spent over 2 years. He escaped in the spring of
1918 and made his way to Istanbul. His return was welcomed and he was chosen to be a member of
Dar-al Hikmat al-Islamiye, an Islamic academy seeking solutions for the
Islamic world’s growing problems.
He died of exhaustion after traveling to Urfa. He was buried in a tomb opposite the cave was prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) is widely believed to have been
born. After the military coup d'état in Turkey in 1960, a group of soldiers led by the
later, right-wing politician, Alparslan Türkeş opened
his grave and buried him at an unknown place near Isparta during July 1960 in
order to prevent popular veneration. His followers are reported to have
found his grave after years of searching in the area, and took his remains to
a secret place in an effort to protect his body from further disturbance.

singer himself, performing locally in the beautiful Mediterranean city of
Tripoli - Lebanon. Fascinated by the music and instruments, Maher got his first keyboard when he was only ten and ever since music officially became part of Maher’s world. The family moved to Sweden when Maher was only 8, where he continued his schooling, and later entered university and got a Bachelors's degree in Aeronautical Engineering.

charts. Maher Zain announced that he had released a Malay version for "Insha Allah", having released French and Arabic version

Recep
Tayyip Erdogan
|
His
biography
|
Born in 1954, he is the son of a coastguard
in the city of Rize on Turkey’s Black Sea coast.Mr. Erdogan was 13 when his father decided to move to Istanbul, hoping to give his five children a better upbringing. As a teenager, he sold lemonade and sesame buns on the streets of
Istanbul’s rougher districts to earn extra cash.He attended an Islamic school before obtaining a degree in management from Istanbul’s Marmara University –
and playing professional football. While at university, he met Necmettin
Erbakan – who went on to become the country’s first Islamist prime minister –
and entered Turkey’s Islamist movement.Mr. Erdogan’s first brush with the law came after the military coup of 1980, while he was working for Istanbul’s transport authority. His boss, a retired colonel, told him to shave off his mustache. Mr. Erdogan refused and had to quit the job. His political career in
the Welfare Party, as the Islamists’ party, was known until it was banned in
1998, was developing fast. In 1994, Mr. Erdogan became the mayor of
Istanbul. Even his critics admit that he did a good job, making Istanbul cleaner and greener – although a decision to ban alcohol in city cafes did not please secularists. He also won admiration from the many who felt he was not corrupt – unlike many other Turkish politicians. His background and commitment to Islamic values appealed to most of the devout Muslim Turks who were alienated by the state. In 1998, the oppressive secular government had
him imprisoned for simply including in his poetry a line that resonated with his
faith: “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our
bayonets and the faithful our soldiers.”He was sentenced to 10 months in jail but was freed after four.

Irfan
Makki
|
His
biography
|
Born in Pakistan and migrating to Canada with his family as an infant,
singer/songwriter Irfan Makki grew up within a community celebrating the
diversity of cultures. Enchanted by dreams of utilizing his own voice in
recitation and song, Irfan began to hone his own natural vocal talents.
Throughout his teen years, he immersed himself in the development of his unique musical style. The blessing of growing up against the multicultural city-scape of Toronto ensured that not only was he surrounded by a diverse Muslim community, but also encircled by a vibrant arts community. Irfan recorded his first solo CD in 1997 “Reminisce”. In 1999 he was featured in the CD
compilation “Light Upon Light”. His two songs “Light Upon Light”, and “When
the Leaves Begin To Fall”, was met with high acclaim and were becoming the favorites of Nasheed listeners all over the world, especially in the U.K.
and the U.S. He released his second solo CD “Salam” in 2003. This was met with great anticipation and soon led Irfan to tour all over the UK and the US. It is the hope now that the coming together of the Awakening family and Irfan Makki will inshaAllah blossom into a beautiful bond.

Yusuf
Qardhawi
|
His
bioghraphy
|
Yusuf al-Qaradawi (b.
1926) is an Egyptian-born Sunni alim who graduated from
Al-Azhar University in Cairo and a prominent Islamist ideologue affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood (Jamiyat al-Ikhwan al-Muslimin). He is a Qatari national and in the early 21st century serves as the director of the Seerah and Sunnah Center at Qatar University in Doha. He is also a member of the
Al-Azhar Islamic Research Council and the founder and chairman of the
International Union of Muslim Scholars. Al-Qaradawi is a prolific writer and
skilled poet, having penned as many as one hundred books and booklets in
Arabic, and a popular media personality, hosting his own television program, Al-Shariah wal-Hayat, on the Al Jazeera satellite network. A popular website issues his fatwas and teachings on an array of subjects, and Muslims around the world can submit their questions online.
Several alternative transliterations of his name exist, including Yousef al-Qaradawi. Given his prominence, there is a surprising lack of comprehensive studies on al-Qaradawi. Several works, such as Kurzman 1998 and Davis 1997, include al-Qaradawi alongside other significant
Muslim scholars and figures. March 2009 and Nafi 2004 examine the work of al-Qaradawi in the context of contemporary thematic debates surrounding citizenship. Kelsay 2016 focuses on al-Qaradawi’s writings on warfare, and Rock-Singer 2016 explores the role of al-Qaradawi in shaping the Muslim Brotherhood’s message. Baker 2003 features al-Qaradawi in a study of contemporary moderate Islamists. Euben and Zaman 2009 presents a translated al-Qaradawi
essay along with a short biography. Gräf and Skovgaard-Petersen 2009 are among the few sources devoted exclusively to al-Qaradawi’s scholarship, teachings, and life. Academic journals in the field also have yet to yield sufficient intensive studies of al-Qaradawi and his significance to late-20th- and
early-21st-century Islamic thought. A greater number of studies on al-Qaradawi are available in Arabic, such as Khalaf 2008 and Talimah 2001.
