Ibn Hajar said in his Al-Durar Al-Kamina Fii A'yaani Al-Miati Al-Thaaminathat his Shaykh, Imam Al-'Iraqi said about Imam Al-Zayla'i: He focussed in the science of hadith and was an expert where he wrote the Takhrij Al-Hadith of Al-Hidayah and I wrote the takhrij of Ihya 'Ulumul din and we helped one and another in our respective works. Imam Suyuti said of him; He was the Hafidh of his time and he wrote the takhrij of hidaya and Kashaf which has no equal while Shaykh Muhammad Anur Al-Kahsmiri said; Jamalu Din Al-Zayla'i was the Shaykhs of the Sufi's in his time ...as well as he was the Shaykh of Hadith scholars.

"About the Book:
The Hidayah is a commentary of Bidayat al-Mubtadi written by the author himself.
The Hidayah represents the refined, distilled and authentic version of a legal tradition developed over many centuries. It presents the corpus of Hanafi law in its approved and preferred form and forges an organic link with the other schools of law. There is no book that can match the power of al-Hidayah as a teaching manual. Education in Islamic law is not complete without this book.

Therefore this very book is more authorative in the school of Hanafi law due to the fact that it mentions the Ahadiths cited by the author of Al-Hidayah and their authenticity. Also the author mentions what ever hadith might have been transmitted in regards to the Mas'ala while authenticating it."

Islam first came to the Somali coast peacefully via Arab trade but the Islamic mission was continued and expanded upon so well by local Somalis that we produced a number of respected scholars who were recognised both domestically and internationally right up to the 20th century.

How ironic that Islam came to Somalia (possibly) via Yemen but by the 14th century, our scholars were some of the most celebrated and respected in Yemen.

And we further propagated this faith across eastern africa (Shiekh Barawe aun message also peacefully spread to Congo) and across the Indian ocean.

How astonishing our forefathers were, we are truly are nothing compared to our noble forefather, defender of Islam during the medieval world.
