The noblest among the family are the women, for Allah created them to be merciful and women are connected to the Divine Names al-Rahman and al-Rahim. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, commands us to be kind to our wives and women in general, for they are our mothers, our wives, our daughters and our sisters, and must be honored. So in deference to that love and the command of the Prophet, we board the ship of the Ahl al-Bayt to learn about the blessed lives of Fatimah and Ali. And with Allah is all success.

Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad: Paradigm of Leadership - Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal RA

Today we learn about another of the great four imams – and perhaps the most commonly misunderstood –Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal. His awareness of the sanctity and spiritual greatness of the Holy Prophet ﷺ is reflected in the immense care he took in not only maintaining the words of the Hadith, but also their spirit.

Virtues of the Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal - Ibn al-Jauzi: https://muse.jhu.edu/book/27882
Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241 H/855 AD), renowned for his profound knowledge of hadith—the reports of the Prophet’s sayings and deeds—is a major figure in the history of Islam. Ibn Hanbal was famous for living according to his own strict interpretation of the Prophetic model and for denying himself even the most basic comforts in a city then one of the wealthiest in the word, and despite belonging to a prominent family. His piety and austerity made him a folk hero, especially after his principled resistance to the attempts of two Abbasid caliphs to force him to accept rationalist doctrine. His subsequent imprisonment and flogging became one of the most dramatic episodes of medieval Islamic history. Ibn Hanbal’s resistance influenced the course of Islamic law, the rise of Sunnism, and the legislative authority of the caliphate. tells the formidable life tale of one of the most influential Muslims in history.

The Four Imams and Their Schools: Abu Hanifa,Malik,Al-Shafii,Ahmed - Gibril Fouad Haddad
https://www.amazon.com/Four-Imams-Their-Schools-Al-Shafii/dp/190235009X

THE GREAT EDIFICE of Islamic Law is held up by four towering figures of the early middle ages: Abu Hanifa, Malik, al-Shafi i, and Ibn Hanbal. Because of their immense dedication and intellectual acuity, these men enjoy recognition to this day as Islam s most influential scholars. By assessing and ranking hadith, by cultivating a deep knowledge of the Arabic language, and by virtue of their great native intelligence, they are credited with having shaped the development of the fundamental systems of Muslim jurisprudence, avoiding the twin pitfalls of subjective rationalism and blind literalism. By doing so they not only protected their religion from chaos and disorder, but showed the Muslims, both ordinary and expert, the safest and most reliable ways of avoiding error in the understanding and practice of the divine law. This detailed study offers biographies of these four men and their leading pupils. It surveys the distinctive features of their jurisprudence, and assesses their achievement. An especially helpful feature is a long and detailed glossary of Islamic technical terms. Meticulously rooted in the core texts of Islamic scholarship, this book will be an important resource for Shari a students everywhere.

Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad : Paradigm of Leadership - Abd al-Rahman Jami RA

Paradigms of Leadership returns online with a new lecture on 'Abd al-Rahman Jami, the prolific 15th century Persian poet and scholar, with captivating recitals from his rich work. This talk was delivered on October 10, 2020 at Cambridge Muslim College -

Abd Al- Rahman Jami : Life of the Poet & Scholar - O.Vasilyeva O. Jastrebova

Jami spent much of his life in the ancient Iran's city of Herat. He lived during the reign of descendants of the conqueror Timur (1336–1405), known in Europe as Tamerlane («Timur the Lame»). After winning a victory over the other claimants to the throne in 1410, Shah Rukh (1377–1447), the youngest son of Timur, moved the capital of his state to Herat, and appointed his son Ulugh Beg (1394–1449) the governor of the former capital Samarkand. A long reign of Shah Rukh – a peace-loving, educated and religious rular, was marked by cultural growth, the development of sciences, crafts, literature and arts.‘Abd al-Rahman Jami, bore the honorary nicknames of ‘Imad ad-Din («Pillar of the Faith») and Nur ad-Din («Light of the Faith»), was born on 7 November 1414 in the village of Kharjerd, in the Iran district of Khorasan almost on the border with Afghanistan. His father Nizām al-Dīn Muhammad b. Shams al-Dīn was a theologian and lawyer and held a position of a judge in Kharjerd. Soon, the family shifted to the small town of Jam, near Herat. The poet later used Jami as his pen name.
Shah Rukh's favorite son Crown Prince Mirza Baysonqor (died 1433–1434) became the governor of Herat in 1417 and invited to his court the most skilled and talented poets, painters and calligraphers to create richly decorated and illustrated books for his library. Baysonqor especially valued the art of calligraphy which he knew himself. At this time, in Herat there were built many mosques, schools, madrassas, caravanserais and other public buildings.
‘Abd al-Rahman spent his childhood and received his primary education in his father's house in the city of Jam. At the age of eleven, the boy was brought to Herat for education in the celebrated Nizamiyyah school, where he studied traditional Muslim schools disciplines: Arabic, philosophy, logic, theology, Muslim Traditions (The Hadith). The talented youngster continued his self-education, studying languages, literature, history, mathematics and astronomy, and then went to Samarkand, where the famous astronomical observatory, built by Ulugh Beg, was located.
The teachings of the Naqshbandi Order advocated voluntary poverty, but it does not require its followers to go away from the world, seeking a way to understand God. On the contrary, they followed the principle of khalvat dar anjuman – "a state of spiritual seclusion in the midst of company". That means to surrender all thoughts to God, living amongst society and communicating with people. Adepts of the brotherhood did not beg. Everyone, as a rule, had a profession: many of them were craftsmen, and all of them earned a living by working at their jobs. They led a modest life and donated all excess to charity or to help their brethren. Recognized spiritual authorities of the Sufi order, such as, for example, Khwaja 'Ubayd-Allah Ahrar (died in 1490), had considerable political and economic influence and actively participated in the most important events in the life of society.Jami lived in Samarkand for 16 years, dealing not only with scholars, but also with local adherents of the Muslim mystical teaching of Sufism. The dominant trend of Sufism in the major cities of Central Asia and Khorasan was the doctrine originated in the Bukhara school Hvadzhagan («mentors») which transformed into the Naqshbandi Order in the 14th century. Jami adopted the ideas of Sufism as far back as he settled in Herat, and continued to frequent the society of its followers in Samarkand.
In 1452–1453 , Jami left Samarkand for Herat where he officially became a member of the Naqshbandi Order. Perhaps, Jami returned to Herat due the political situation emerging after the death of Shah Rukh in 1447: the Timurid princes resumed the struggle for power, Timur's empire was partitioned into three parts. As a result, quite a significant portion of the state, including Herat, was captured by Abu Sa'id Mirza who ruled it until 1468.
In 1470, Herat passed under the power of Sultan Husayn Bayqarah (1438–1506). By this time, Jami had earned the authority and respect of the people in the city as a scholar, poet and spiritual leader. Famed for his patronage of the arts and sciences, Sultan Husayn revived the diminished flame of cultural life in Herat. The ruler himself wrote poems, so poets enjoyed the special protection at his court. The great Turkic writer and poet Ali-Shir Nava'i (1441-1501), a statesman and philanthropist, served as the Vizier and Chief Advisor to Sultan Bayqarah.
A close friendship arose between Nava'i and Jami. They appreciated sincerely each other's talent and knowledge, shared mutual opinions and advice. Nava'i also joined the Naqshbandi Order, and Jami became his official spiritual mentor.
In 1472, Jami went on a pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina (Hajj), on the way visiting the many political, cultural and religious centers of the Muslim world - Baghdad, Karbala, Damascus, Aleppo, Tabriz. He was so widely noted for his scholarship, that the Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II send him an invitation to his court. Jami rejected this proposal and, in January 1474, returned to Herat.
After the pilgrimage, the poet married to the granddaughter of his spiritual teacher Sa'd al-Din Kashgari and fathered a total of four children, but only one son - Ziya ad-Din Yusuf survived. In his declining years, Jami made another trip to Samarkand to meet with the spiritual leader of the Sufi brotherhood Khwaja 'Ubayd-Allah Ahrar.
Jami died on 9 November 1492 in Herat and was buried near the tomb of Sa'd al-Din Kashgari. Ali-Shir Nava'i witnessed that inhabitants of Herat and Sultan Husayn himself bitterly mourned Jami's death and sons of the ruler carried the body of the poet in the burial stretcher.
Soon after the death of Jami, the Safavid dynasty came to power in Iran. The political, religious and cultural landscape of Iran and Central Asia changed dramatically: Shīite Islam was established as the state religion of Iran, and a very fanciful modern "Indian" style began to dominate in poetry. Jami, known
for his relations with the Sunni Naqshbandi Order, was the last outstanding poet, writing in the "old" style, and his works were kept out of the mainstream of Iranian literature for several centuries. However, in Central Asia, his prestige and popularity have always been extremely high, Jami has a significant impact on many generations of poets.

SULTAN OF HEARTS AZIZ MAHMUD HUDAYI
-May Allah Have Mercy on Him (1541- 1628)

His name is Mahmud, and he was described as “Aziz” (honorable) as a sign of respect for him. “Hudayi” was a nickname given probably by his Sheikh Uftada, and he used this name as pseudonym in his poems. It is narrated that he is a descendant of Junaid al-Baghdadi and it is even said that he is a descendant of Prophet Muhammed.
Hudayi was born in Kochhisar/Ankara in 948H / 1541. He received his first education in his town Sivrihisar and finished his religious education in Kucuk Ayasofya Madrasa (religious school) in Istanbul. While he was being educated in madrasa, he got the attention of his teacher Nazirzade Ramazan Efendi, so he appointed him as his assistant. Sufism at that time had a big influence, and Hudayi’s heart was yearning for deeper knowledge; therefore, he attended in addition to his education in madrasa the sohbets of Sheikh Nureddinzade Muslihuddin Efendi who was a leader in Sufism.
After he moved with his teacher Nazirzade among different madrasas in Istanbul, he was appointed as a teahcer in Selimiye Madrasa in Edirne. Also, he and his teacher became judges in Cairo and Damascus. Then Nazirzade became the Chief Judge in Bursa, and Hudayi was a teacher in Ferhadiye madrasa in addition to his position as deputy judge in Cami-i Atik court.
When he was in Bursa, he used to attend Sufism sohbets, and he attended the shobets of M. Muhyiddin Uftade who was the qutub (spirtiual pillar) in Bursa. Hudayi asked Sheikh Uftade to be his murid, but Sheikh Uftada demanded three things: to distripute everything he had to the poor, to quit his positions in madrasa and judiciary, and to struggle against his nafs to purify it.
Hudayi accepted these demands and after he was subjected to difficult tests by his Sheikh during his spiritual education, he was able to complete succssfully the required stage in short period which was not more than three years. Then he was asked to serve as a guid and preacher in Sivrihisar. After the death of his Shiekh, Hudayi moved to Balkans and Rumeli. After that he came back to Istanbul which was known as the capital of wisdom and knowledge. He lived in Kucuk Ayasofya where he once spent the days of his youth.
While he was busy in guiding and enlightening people in Istanbul, he decided to move to Uskudar district; therefore, he bought a piece of land to build a tekke and a mosque, and he started building a sufisim complex. He countinued to preach and advice people in many mosques in Istanbul. He had in Camlica-Bulgurlu a sufism zawiyeh where he sometimes detached himself from people and immersed himself in worshiping.
Sheikh Hudayi passed away in 3 Safar 1038H (2 October 1682) leaving behind many books. His grave is in the cemetery which is inside his comlex in Uskudar. The mosque there was build by himself. However, when a fire broke out in 1850, the complex was burned wholly. Later, the Ottoman Sultan Abdulmajid reconstructed it.
His dua to his lovers was:
“Those who visit us when we are alive, and those who visit our grave after our death and read the Fatiha when passing by our tomb are ours. May those who love us not drown at sea, may they not suffer poverty in their old age, may they not pass away without saving their faith.”
