Al-Albani

Muhammad Nasir al-Din (19142 October 1999) known by his al-Albani (the Albanian), was an Albanian Islamic scholar known for being a leading hadith scholar in the 20th-century. A major figure of the Salafi methodology of Islam, he established his reputation in Syria, where his family had moved and where he was educated as a child.

Al-Albani did not advocate violence, preferring obedience to established governments. A watchmaker by trade, Al-Albani was active as a writer, publishing chiefly on hadith and its sciences. He also lectured widely in the Middle East, Spain and the United Kingdom on the Salafi movement. Provided by Wikipedia
