Role Model in the 21st Century - Shaykh Riyad Ul Haq

Sheikh Riyadh Ul Haq narrates his chain of narration for the first hadith in Sahih Bukhari, leading to the Prophet [peace be upon him]. Think of this Sheikh as a Zakir Naik of Fiqh.

By the age of ten the Shaykh had memorised the entire Qur'an, and also completed the study of a number of books in various Islamic topics.
He graduated from Darul Uloom al Arabiyyah al Islamiyyah, Bury, UK, in early 1991.
In Darul Uloom the Shaykh undertook an intensive study of many Islamic topics including Arabic, Qur'anic tafseer, hadeeth and fiqh under traditionally qualified scholars. His eminent and erudite teachers from whom he has ijazah in various Islamic sciences include Shaykh Yusuf Motala and the late Shaykh Islamul Haq. He also has ijazah in hadeeth from the late Mufti Mahmood Hasan Gangohi and the famous Muhaddith, Shaykh Yunus of Saharanpur, India.
