A direct descendant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ through Imam al-Husayn, he memorised the Quran as a boy and took knowledge from the great scholars of the valley, beginning with his father, Habib Muhammad, who disappeared under Yemen’s socialist regime when his son was only nine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1994 he returned from exile to his home city and founded Dar al-Mustafa, today among the most influential centres of traditional Islamic learning in the world, followed by Dar al-Zahra for women. His students serve communities on every continent, millions have met the Prophetic path ﷺ through his voice, and his call carries the very gentleness this book teaches. He remains, above all, a caller to Allah in the way of his fathers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imam Ghazali Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52886661955867,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/4430\/3387\/files\/Healingthespirituallysick.png?v=1786789712","url":"https:\/\/risalabookshop.com\/products\/healing-the-spiritually-sick-a-selection-of-noble-hadiths-as-a-guide-for-beginners","provider":"Risala Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
