Khalid Ar-Rashid

What’s This Podcast
About?

Sheikh Khalid Mohammad Hamad Ar-Rashid is a name who needs no introduction. He was brought into this world in the year 1970. In his studying years, he studied under many noteable scholars of Islam. For 11 years, he studied under Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him). For another 13 years onwards, he studied under Sheikh Abdullah Ibn Jibrin (may Allah have mercy on him). He also studied under Sheikh Abdur-Rahman al-Barrak and Al-Muhaddith Shaykh Abdullah as-Sa’d (may Allah protect them). Sheikh Khalid performed extremely well during his studies in the fields of Aqeedah and Hadeeth. To top it off, he has an Ijazah in most Hadith books. He has an extensive library which contains some manuscripts and thousands of books. He was known for his gentle character and pure intention. So much so that it is quoted that many of those who attended his lectures realized so many unique qualities about him. On oen occasion, the Sheikh was asked on how much he read a day. In response, he said to them that he used to read for around 17 hours a day during the days he was seeking knowledge. Unfortunately, the Sheikh was imprisoned in 2005 for his famous speech called “O Ummah of Muhammad!” where he defended our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. We ask Allah to hasten his release and to accept all his past and future works for our Ummah.
