Aqida 102: Creed of Ibn Ashir

Son of Palestinian immigrants, Br. Harun Saleh was born and raised in New Jersey. While a student at Rutgers Business School, he began studying through the Uwaylim track with Dr. Shadee Elmasry and Arabic with Sh. Osamah Salhia. After graduation, he studied Siraj ul Salik Sharh Ashal ul Masalik with Sh. Mujahid Abdul Karim and then completed the The Ibn Hajr al Asqalani Hadith course with Sh. Mohammed Daniel, covering texts in Mustalah ul Hadith including the Bayquniyya, Tadhkirah of Ibn al Mulaqin and more. Later, he traveled to Egypt to study Maliki fiqh under the tutelage of Sh. Zuhayr Qazzan. There, not only did he intensively study Fiqh, Usool, Aqida, and Mantiq, but also benefitted profoundly from his close mentorship. Aside from being a student, he is also a speaker, lecturing at the International Maliki Madhhab Conference in Algeria on shariah rulings in accordance with Maliki Fiqh. Br. Harun Saleh is a lifelong, passionate learner. Currently, he is editing Arabic manuscripts in fiqh while working as a Tax Professional at a family practice and traveling overseas during off-season to continue to broaden his Islamic studies.
