Alhamdulillah was Salatu was Salamu ‘Ala Rasoolillah Wa ‘Ala Aalihi Wa Ashabihi Ajma’een, Amma Ba’ad-
May Allah reward you for this.
I, Mohammed bin Thajammul Hussain Manna, completed my graduation as an Aeronautical Engineer from M.V.J.C.E (Bangalore, 2008-12), Alhamdulillah.
During that period Allah guided me to Salafiyyah and I continuously attended short lectures and courses by authentic scholars. I will mention only the ones with whom I spent the most time below In sha Allah. As for those under whom I attended workshops on different subjects I will not mention them here.
My longest strech of studying a book under one Shaykh, was when I studied a detailed explanation of Kitab-ut-Tawheed (of Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab) with Shaykh Abdul Lateef Salafi Madani (Member of Jamiat Ahle-Hadith, Udupi,Karnataka), for 1 year and 3 months. Shaykh Abdul Lateef Madani also taught us Usool Ath-Thalathah and Nawaqidul-Islam.
I have also studied Usool At-Tafseer (of Shaykh Muhammad bin Saleh Al-Uthaymeen) and Sharh Nawaqidul Islam (of Shaykh Saaleh Al-Fawzan) with Shaykh Ainul-Haq Salafi (Bihar, India) on a one-on-one basis for a month, Alhamdulillah.
With regards specifically being guided towards research on authentic Seerah, I was guided to this by Shaykh Abdul Waris Athari Madani (Shirur, Karnataka) after my discussions with him. Alhamdulillah.
In Fiqh, I have learnt a summary of many topics on a one-on-one basis with Shaykh Ashraf Salafi (Jharkhand), from the past 5 years (Around 2015-2020).
With regards to my credibility in the Salafi Manhaj and on teaching and reading out benefits from Seeratun-Nabi ﷺ, you may contact the above Ustadhs, In-Sha-Allah.
By now, Alhamdulillah, I have completed and published a summarized translation of Shaykh Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Ushan’s work on ‘Famous But Unauthentic Stories From The Seerah of The Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Arabic- Ma Shaa Wa Lam Yathbut Fee As-Seerah.]
(For the Seerah classes-) The book I will be using to teach Seeratun-Nabi ﷺ, will be my own 3 volume compilation, in English, on ‘ *The Biography of The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ [From Reliable and Credible Sources]*’. I’ve attempted to use only authentic narrations for the storyline of the Seerah.
(I will mention a list of the books I’ve worked on below in the end, InshaAllah, and will continuously update them in time.)
I have completed studying the explanation of Umdatul-Ahkaam (in live classes) under the guidance of Shaykh Usman Marjalvi (a Salafi Aalim from Pakistan).
I wouldn’t wish to write all this about myself, this is not for self-praise. But since it is the need of the hour, I had to pen this down, to inform one and all about myself. May Allah forgive us and keep our intentions sincerely only to please him. Aameen.
I completed my B.A (Islamic Studies, Distance) from Preston International College (Chennai, Tamil Nadu), in 2024, and also received the 1st Rank with Gold Medal in the 16th Convocation 2025 in the B.A (Islamic Studies) Department.
I have also completed an Advanced Diploma in Islamic Studies from Aspire College of Excellence, Bangalore.)
