Imam an-Nawawi

Author of Riyad as-Salihin and al-Arba‘in, the Ascetic Scholar Who Dared to Counsel Rulers

His books are read in almost every mosque in the Malay world — Riyad as-Salihin and the Forty Hadith. Yet he died at about the age of 45. The fifteenth book of Tracing the Scholars of Islam tells the story of Imam an-Nawawi: the child who ran from play to read the Qur’an, the scholar who attended twelve lessons a day, and the adviser whom a sultan feared. “Only those fear Allah, from among His servants, who have knowledge.”
