Ibn Darastawayh Al-Farsi – Another master of the Arabic language
June 4, 2013 § Leave a Comment
We are delighted to present you another gem of Persia (you won’t find a SINGLE equivalent to these great Sunni personalities who enriched the Islamic Ummah for around 900 years of Sunni-Persian history. The decline began with the Safavids and the emergence of Rafidite Shiism that is ruling Iran up to this day i.e. for less than 500 years and it did not produce anything but heresy and ignorants of the basics of Islam, starting from the language to everything else), a servant of the Ahl Al-Sunnah and the Arabic language (quite amazing how the biggest linguists of the Arabic language were mostly Persians, like the Master of the Masters of the Arabic language, Sibawayh>>>):
عبد الله بن جعفر بن دَرَسْتَوَيْه الفارسي
(258-347 هـ)
Abdallah bin Jafar bin Darastawayh (more correctly: دُرُسْتويه Dorostavei) bin Al-Marzban Al-Farsi the Grammarian (proper classical persian name) – 258-347H
Ibn Darastawayh, Abu Mohammad, the Imam, the Allamah, the Shaykh of ‘Nahu’ (Arabic grammar) i.e. the Nahawi, he Lughawi (master of all sciences of the Arabic language), the Adeeb, born 285 after Hijri (i.e. in the pre-Safavid, Sunni Persia) in Fasa (فَسا), Persia (back than a city as big as Shiraz today) and was hence known as the Persian (Al-Farsi) and the Fasawi (from Faas). His name (Darastawayh/Dorostavei) is made of two words,

Al-Ramhurmuzi the Persian – The founder of the categorisation of the sciences of Hadith
January 15, 2012 Comments Off
Al-Ramhurmuzi (Persian: Ramhormozi 265-290 hijri), the Imam, the skilled Hafidh, the Muhaddith of the Persians, Abu Ahmad, Al-Hassan Ibn Abdul-Rahman Ibn Khalal Al-Farsi Al-Ramhurmuzi Al-Qadhi (the Judge), composer of the book ” المحدث الفاصل بين الراوي والواعي ” (Al-Muhaddith Al-Fasil bayn Al-Rawi wa Al-Wa’i) in the science of Hadith.
It is said that Al-Rumhurmuzi was the FIRST PERSON ever who had categorised the science of Hadith system (terms etc.). Although (according to some) it is more correct to say that it was Imam Al-Tirmidhi (from Persia/Khorasan city of Termez). A contemp. scholar of today named Shaykh Abdallah Al-Sa’ad says that if we were precisely then Imam Al-Shafi’i (in his book “Al-Risalah”) already set some basics for the science of Hadith (as have others like Ibn Hibban etc.), yet Imam Al-Ramhurmuzi basically set a complete scheme hence he is normally referred to the fist person ever who had categorised the different science of Hadith. This is acknowledged by one of the Kings of Hadith science Imam Al-Hafidh bin Hajr who said:
Ahmad Kasravi (Ex-Shia) – An unsheathed sword against pagan Rafidite Shi’ism & its clergy
December 15, 2011 Comments Off
Ahmad Kasravi (29 September 1890 – March 11, 1946), was an Iranian intellectual (Ancient Languages, history, Politics, religion, and Philosophy) and one of the few Iranian intellectuals who instead of having a biased and vitriolic stance towards Islam, actually came to the conclusion that Islam is a UNIVERSAL (for Arabs, Persians, Whites, Blacks etc.) religion, the only true monotheistic religion (yet, ironically Iranian nationalist Anti-Islamic Hate-Mongers quote him day and night to prove the falshood and superstitions of Shi’ism, yet they do not mention that this man basically converted to Islam and Sunnah, for the was a staunch defender of Islam, albeit being secular in his political thoughts). Yet, like every sane and educated man, and especially Iranian who knows Iranian Islamic history (Buyids, Safavids etc.) – realised the corruption of the polytheist and pagan sect of twelver Shi’ism …
Ibn Khaldun on the Persians (Sunnah Muslims)
November 12, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Abu Zayd ‘Abdurrahman bin Mohammad bin Khaldun
(May 27, 1332 AD/732 AH – March
19, 1406 AD/808 AH) was a Tunisian Arab of Hadhrami/Yemenite descent. He is a major muslim scholar (among his students: Ibn Hajar!) historiographer and historian and the following are his records On the Persians (Persia back in Ibn Khaldun’s time was nearly completely Sunni, as it was until 500 years ago):
- As Ibn Khaldun suggests, it is a remarkable fact that with few exceptions, most Muslim scholars…in the intellectual sciences have been non-Arabs:
- “Thus the founders of (Arabic) grammar were Sibawaih [Al-Shirazi] and after him, al-Farsi and Az-Zajjaj. All of them were of Persian descent…they invented rules of (Arabic) grammar…great jurists were Persians*… only the Persians ['Ajams] engaged in the task of preserving knowledge and writing systematic scholarly works.

The Imam of TRUE Sufism, the Persian Salafi Al-Junayd Al-Bagdadi
November 3, 2011 § Leave a Comment
He is Abu’l-Qasim al-Junayd b. Muhammad b. al-Junayd al-Khazzâz al-Baghdadi, born in Baghdad around 215 and lived most his life in that capital until he died in 298 AH. Junayd of Baghdad (Persian: جنید بغدادی) was one of the most famous of the early Persian Muslim ascetics originally from the city of Nahawand in Persia.
The word ‘Junayd’ derives from the word ‘JUND’ which is originally a Persian word (Kund) and which entered the arabic language like many other Persian words:
The Seven Ahrûf (of the Qur’an), did you know who narrated most of them?
October 12, 2011 § 2 Comments
Revelation Of The Qur’an In Seven Ahrûf
It is a well-known fact that there are seven different Ahrûf in which the Qur’an was revealed. In the Islamic tradition, this basis can be traced back to a number of hadîths concerning the revelation of the Qur’an in seven Ahrûf (singular Harf).
To read more on the Seven Ahruf, CLICK HERE.
As for what most Muslims are not aware of, most Ahruf, to be precisely we are talking about FOUR of the SEVEN existing authentic Ahruf were narrated by Persian scholars of the Salaf Al-Saleh.

What the LEADER of the Salaf (Tabi’een) said about Ahl Fars (people of Persia)
October 2, 2011 § 1 Comment
Note: Ahl Farsi (people of Persia) are obviously those who represent 900 YEARS of Sunni Persian history, not the last 500 YEARS of Safawi-Rafidism that was introduced by the Turkish-Azeri Safawi dinasty, for the Salaf witnessed Sunnah Persians ONLY. As for their praise:
فضل الفرس / اهل فارس
The Virtues of the Persians
(The People of Persia)
Excerpts by Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah
رحمه الله
more to download:
- Shorter Arabic Version – فضل الفرس
- Imam Muslim dedicated an entire chapter with the title:
‘فضل الفرس’ (The Virtues of the Persians)
- طبقات المحدثين باصبهان والواردين عليها …
… massive book, over 1000 pages, solely compiled to collect all the names of the Sunnah scholars from Persia and it’s heartland Isfahan. The giants of the Salaf and the later scholars who followed them used to be in such a massive number, that scholars considered it beneficial to write entire books just about the details of Isfahani scholars. Almost no Aqidah/Fiqh/Hadith book can be found without mentioning one of the thousands of Isfahani-Shirazi-Rai (old name for Tehran), Toos/Khorasani etc. Sunnah scholars.
It is said that Salman Al-Farisi and Ikrimah [from the major Salaf and Mawla of Ibn 'Abbas) were both from Isfahan/Isbahan.Verlily the marks of Islam were found in Isbahan [Isfahan/Persia] more than in other places, which is why the Hafith Abdulqadir Al-Rahawi said,
‘I didn’t see a place after Baghdad with more Hadiths than Isbahan.’

According to Bernard Lewis: “[Arab Muslims conquests] have been variously seen in Iran: by some as a blessing, the advent of the true faith, the end of the age of ignorance and heathenism; by others as a humiliating national defeat, the conquest and subjugation of the country by foreign invaders. Both perceptions are of course valid, depending on one’s angle of vision… Iran was indeed Islamized, but it was not Arabized. Persians remained Persians…… the Iranian contribution to this new Islamic civilization is of immense importance. The work of Iranians can be seen in every field of cultural endeavor, including Arabic poetry, to which poets of Iranian origin composing their poems in Arabic made a very significant contribution. In a sense.
Only a few people and lands were explicitely praised by the Messenger of Allah Mohammad صل الله عليه و على آله و سلم amongst them are the noble people and land of Makkah, Madinah, Yemen, Al-Shaam (Syria, Jordan i.e. Lavent) and >>>the People of Persia<<<, the Guardians of the pure Sunnah (amongst them ALL the compilers of the “Kutub Sittah”!). To give you a glimpse of who the Guardians and compilers of the Sunnah and language and history were:

One of the most notable and influencal figures of Islamic history about whom Imam Al-Dhahabi (Syrian/Shami of Turkistani descent) said:
قال الذهبي في بداية ترجمته :
( الإمام الأوحد البحر ، ذو الفنون والمعارف ، أبو محمد ، علي بن أحمد بن سعيد بن حزم بن غالب بن صالح بن خلف بن معدان بن سفيان بن يزيد ، الفارسي الأصل ، ثم الأندلسي القرطبي اليزيدي ) المصدر : سير أعلام النبلاء ( 18 / 184 ) .
Al-Dhahabi:
“The sea of knowledge, the man with skills and insight, Abu Mohammad, Ali Ibn Ahmad Ibn Saeed IBN HAZM ibn Ghalib Ibn Salih Ibn Khalf Ibn Madan Ibn Sufyan Ibn Yazeed, OF PERSIAN DESCENT, then Andalusian (Spaniard), Cordobian (Qurtubi).

When a single mistake leads you to become an Imam for the Ummah
How often we frown at ourselves when we make mistakes in life, and indeed how often we become disheartened when we fall into error! But yet how little we realise that sometimes it’s these small mistakes that shape our lives and renew our focus. The Qadr of Allah is certainly amazing in that a failure on one day can become the cause of our triumph on another day…
When a single mistake leads you to become an Imam (leader) for the Ummah…

Famous Sunnah Muslims of Persian origin in the arab world
August 10, 2011 § 2 Comments
Their faces are known to many Muslims, even in the west (due to translations), yet what many don’t know, some very famous and influental individuals in the arab world (only in the gulf area) are of Persian/Iranian origin. Of course, for us as Muslims, the origin of a fellow Muslim or even a fellow non-Muslim does not matter at all, we merely want to show the significance of the Persian Sunnah community in the Arab world, who only left their country (most are Persians from the “Fars” province of south Iran, who left Iran during, or after the presecution of the Rafidite-Safavids) due to Anti-Sunni policies of the Safawi (Sunnis had to pay more texes etc.)
(Note: The following individuls are NOT Iranian citizens, in fact they ascribe themselves to their new countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuweit, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE etc. for after all they were born there, and in most cases their families emigrated to arab countries over 400 years ago i.e. after the Rafidite-Shi’ite-Safavid invasion of Persia i.e. south Iran, their homeland).

“Shiraz” Before and After Safavid
April 15, 2011 § Leave a Comment
“Shiraz” (شیراز) was one of the most important centers of knowledge (E’lm), as well as cradle of jurisprudence (Fiqh) and poetry in the history of Iran. Shiraz glimmered like a bright star in the sky of civilization by providing the nation geniuses scholars and experts in both art and knowledge (E’lm). Shiraz flourished a prosperous generation in the past; then it was becoming failure only in Islamic knowledge (elm) after the time when it was haven of the students as they used to com from different parts of the world.
The city of “Shiraz”, the provincial capital of “Fars” located in the southern-western Iran, its area is 340 km, one of the three biggest cities of Iran in terms of area, and it comes in its place after “Tehran” and “Mashhad”. Shiraz ends to “Isfahan” in the north, in eastern side it is surrounded by “Yazd” and “Kerman” and in the south it is closest to “Hormozgan” province, as it ends in western side to “Bushehr”. Its population is more than 1,722,331 inhabitants; Shiraz is the fourth largest city on the map of Iran in terms of population.

Salman Al-Farsi (RA) invented Islam for the Prophet (SAWS)?!!
April 5, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Salman Al-Farsi converted to Islam in Medina after 13 years of the revelation of the noble Quran (i.e. he did not even witness the first period in Makkah!), yet one can see many Iranian nationalists, and the major devils among them who spread a lie that even a donkey would refuse to accept, namely:”Salman Al-Farsi (RA) invented Islam for the Prophet (SAWS)!”
