 The Subject: Shaykh Muhammad 'Awwama

Shaykh Muhammad 'Awwama (born 1940 in Aleppo, Syria) is one of the most prominent living authorities in the world of Sunni Hadith scholarship. He was a close student of major 20th-century scholars, most notably the legendary Hanafi jurist and Hadith scholar Shaykh Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghudda (raḥimahullāh), as well as Shaykh Abdullah Sirajuddin (raḥimahullāh). Shaykh 'Awwama is celebrated for his profound expertise in takhrij (hadith verification), Mustalah al-Hadith (hadith terminology), and bridging the relationship between Hadith and Fiqh (jurisprudence). His critical editions (tahqiq) of classical texts—such as Imam al-Dhahabi’s Al-Kashif, Ibn Hajar’s Taqrib al-Tahdhib, and Imam al-Tirmidhi’s Al-Shama’il al-Muhammadiyyah—are considered gold standards in academic circles.

The Encyclopedia (Mawsu’ah)

This encyclopedia, compiled by Dr. Rizwan Izzuddin Saleh, systematically gathers Shaykh Muhammad 'Awwama's scholarly opinions, critiques, and methodological insights from 165 sources, including his books, footnotes, lectures, articles, and interviews, spanning more than fifty-five years of scholarship.
