About the Author
Shaykh 'Abdur Rahman Nasir as-Sa'di was one of the most prominent scholars from the Arabian Peninsula, born in the city of 'Unaizah, Saudi Arabia, in 1309 AH (1889 CE). He began studying Islam at an early age and excelled to such an extent that his fellow students asked him to tutor them — so that he was, from a young age, both a student and a teacher at once. He studied various Islamic sciences and disciplines under some of the leading scholars of his region as well as visiting scholars, and authored many works still in print today. Shaykh as-Sa'di passed away in 1376 AH (1956 CE) at the age of 69 and was buried in 'Unaizah.
