Introduction to Islamic Creed

Shaykh Dr. Muhammad bin Yahya Al-Ninowy was born and raised in Syria. He began his study under his father, Sayyed Yahya (RahimahuAllah), and many of the senior scholars of Aleppo at the time, memorising the Glorious Qur’an and acquiring knowledge in many of the Islamic disciplines, such as Tawhid, Hanafi/Shafi’i Fiqh, Usul, and Ihsan.

Besides graduating from the Faculty of Usul-ud-Din at Al- Azhar University, Shaykh Dr. Muhammad delved further into the fields of Hadith and Ihsan under the tutelage of many of the foremost scholars worldwide, who resided in Syria, Hijaz, Morocco, Egypt, and others.

Shaykh Muhammad focuses on reviving the call to Din with a "Back to Basics" approach i.e. the Qur’an and Authentic Sunnah, in addition to teaching tolerance, peace and compassion. Shaykh Muhammad is the founder of Madina Institute and Seminaries, which operate in various parts of the world including the USA, UK, Canada, South Africa, Malaysia, Norway and others. He has authored many books in the science of Tawhid, Hadith, and Usul, some of which are being translated into English and published, such as: The concept of Bid’a and its application, Nisf-Sha’ban virtues in the authentic Sunnah, Hadithi commentary on the Shamaa’il of Imam Tirmidhi, Explanation of the Nukhba Text in Hadith sciences, Explanation of the Al Fiyyah in Hadith terminology, Hadithi commentary on Imam Nasa’iy’s Khasaa’es, Expressing Delight for the birth of the Light, and more.
