From amongst such figures are the likes of the great Imam and Jurist from Khurasan: 'Abdullah Ibn al-Mubarak.

| The Glad Tidings Given to Imam Ahmad Before the Great Trial -
Farhia Yahya |
| ‘The Prophet (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) sends you (O' Ibn Hanbal) his salaam and he says to you: Indeed Allah will test you with a great test, and surely he shall place you in a trial, but I have asked Him to make you patient therein, so do not worry.’ - Allah Ta'ala chooses people from amongst Mankind, then He strengthens them, prepares them and builds their character, inner power and faculty of mind so they can fulfill the Qadr. Sometimes, in order to best prepare these people, Allah ta’ala sends them glad tidings ahead of their trial. |

| Obituary: Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Arna'ut -
Abu Eesa Niamatullah |
| There are two calamities when the true scholars of Islam pass away: the immediate loss of the individual from whom one can now not benefit from; and that the sacred knowledge running through the veins of such people is lost and passes away with its carrier. With the death of the 'ulemâ, we lose a portion of the legacy of Muhammad (sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) |
