Finding the Core - Imam Ghazali's Journey

www.sacredlearning.org Shaykh Husain Abdul Sattar Shaykh Husain [may Allah preserve him] was born in Chicago (USA) in 1972. After completing his primary education at schools in his hometown near Chicago, he joined the University of Chicago where he studied Biology, Arabic and Islamic Civilization. It was during this period that he began his study of sacred knowledge, studying Arabic grammar (nahw), Hanafi Fiqh and Usul al-Fiqh under ulama (scholars) in Chicago. In 1994 Shaykh Husain also began training in Islamic spirituality under Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmad, a leading shaykh in this field. After obtaining his undergraduate degree, Shaykh Husain enrolled in the Pritzker School of Medicine at the University of Chicago. Along with his medical studies, he continued his studies of sacred knowledge. In his final year he took leave from medical school to focus on his religious studies, traveling to Syria and then Pakistan, where he studied a traditional curriculum for a number of years under some of their greatest scholars. Throughout his years of study, Shaykh Husain continued his training under Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmad. He was blessed with the close company of his Shaykh, learning the science of the purification of the heart. The deep taqwa and firm adherence to the sunnah and Shariah that characterized his teacher were eventually transferred to the student and Shaykh Husain was formally authorized in this science by Shaykh Zulfiqar in July 2001. Shaykh Husain has completed medical school and is currently an Assistant Professor of Pathology at University of Chicago's Prizker School of Medicine and also practices Surgical Pathology at the University of Chicago Medical Center. During his free time, he teaches and lectures across the United States on various subjects of Islamic knowledge, including purification of the soul. Shaykh Husain is presently engaged in editing and publishing the translations of his teacher's books into English. In addition, he is completing his own written works including the popular series, "Fundamentals of Classical Arabic" and a manual on Hanafi fiqh entitled, "The Stairs to Bliss." [forthcoming]
