Shaykh Nawawi al-Bantani

Master of the Scholars of the Hijaz and Author of Tafsir Marah Labid

A son of Banten sailed to Mecca at fifteen and lived there for more than half a century. His clothes were plain, yet his study circle produced the founder of Nahdlatul Ulama and many scholars of the archipelago, and his tafsir, Marah Labid, became the first complete Arabic tafsir by a scholar of the Malay world. The forty-fifth book of Tracing the Scholars of Islam tells the story of Shaykh Nawawi al-Bantani. “Only those fear Allah, from among His servants, who have knowledge.”
