Early life
Wasiullah Abbas is an Indian Islamic scholar and teacher born on 11 March 1948. He began his Islamic education in a Madrasa in his local village. Later, he transferred to Darul Huda School in Yusufpur which was run by students of the Ahl-i Hadith scholar Syed Nazeer Husain Dehlawi. [1] [2] In these schools, he studied the Arabic language, fiqh, and issues of Aqeedah, including primary texts of the Māturīdī school, examined through a critical lens of their interpretation of the attributes of Allah. After completing his studies at Darul Huda, he was transferred to Jaamiah Rahmaniyyah in Banaras in 1963. [1] [2]
Education and scholarship in Saudi Arabia
Later in his life, Abbas was selected by the administration of Jaamiah Rahmaniyyah to receive higher education in Saudi Arabia during the inauguration of a new school, Jaamiah Salafiyyah Banaras, where Ibn Baz directed his repersentative at the event, Abdul Qadir Shaibatul Hamd, to request that some exemplery students travel to Saudi Arabia and study at the Islamic University of Madinah. [1] [4] This led to Abbas going to Saudi Arabia in 1967 with him getting a high school degree in 2 years from the Islamic university and a bachelor's degree in the Dawah/Usool ad-Deen and Tafseer/Hadith Departments four years later. [1] After this, he transferred to Umm al-Qura University, where he completed a master's degree and PhD on topics of the Hadith. [1] [2]
While completing his PhD, the Grand Mosque Institute of Masjid al-Haram was in need of a lecturer for Hadith and Tafsir and so chose him to teach at the institute starting from 1979. In 1989, he left and became an assistant professor at Umm al-Qura [3] where he became a professor in 2011. In 1999, he was appointed as a lecturer inside the Grand Mosque by then President of the Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques, Sheikh Mohammad Al Subail. [5] He has also taught classes and given lectures internationally, with Dawah trips in Egypt, Yemen, India, the United Kingdom, France, and Bahrain. Additionally, he teaches and publishes lessons and lectures in Arabic, Urdu, and English. [6] [7]
