Without the extensive knowledge of the narrators, their narrations, the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ would not have come to us and Islam would have disintegrated. They did so by slandering and falsifying the Prophetic Hadith, the sayings and stories of the Prophet as narrated through knowledgeable and upright individuals. Within the lands of the Muslims, deviant groups began to rise such as the Khawarij and Rawafidh who tarnished the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and their collective legacy. Indeed he did, and it was because of his love for the Prophet ﷺ that Imam Bukhari stood as a bulwark against an age of Islam fraught with uncertainty. When asked on his desired state when returning to Allah (SWT), his father maintained that he did not know of a single coin in his possession that had haram-qualities.įollowing the birth of Imam al-Bukhari, he was given the name of Muhammad with the intention that he would love the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. One of his father’s most significant qualities was that of cautiousness. He also traveled with the eminent scholar Abdullah ibn Mubarak (RH). He was a student of Hammad ibn Zaid (RH) and Imam Malik (RH).
His father, Ismail ibn Ibrahim, was a scholar of Hadith. It was only after Imam Bukhari and the scholarship that followed was the city of Bukhara, now in modern Uzbekistan, recognized across the Muslim world. He was born in the blessed city of Bukhara, which at the time had not produced any wide-spread known scholars. He was born on the 13th of Shawwal approximately 194 AH.
His full name was Muhammad ibn Ismail ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Mughirah ibn Bardizbah al-Bukhari. The following article seeks to highlight one such individual, Imam al-Bukhari (RH). By the will of Allah, it will continue to do so, as long as individuals hold fast to their Deen and follow the examples of those who suffered and triumphed before.
We find that despite the attacks Muslims have faced, the Ummah always persevered and continued.
They stood as pillars with their qualities of sacrifice, unflinching faith, morality, spiritual excellence, and intellect. Adhering to the Sunnah of Muhammad ﷺ, they opposed injustice. History reveals that in Islam’s darkest times, this religion was safeguarded through beacons of light in the form of righteous individuals who upheld the true Islam. It is the Sunnah of Allah that He executes His will through some natural means, which only serves to strengthen the faith of those who examine these signs and ponder over them.
