Muhammad Nasir al-Din (1914 – 2 October 1999), commonly known as al-Albani, was an Albanian Islamic scholar. A leading figure of Salafism, he is commemorated for his works on revaluation of hadith studies. Born in Shkodër, Albania, to a family adhering to the Hanafi school, al-Albani began his religious journey in Damascus, Syria, where he studied under his father Nuh Najati and other local shaykhs. Influenced by the Lebanese-born Islamic scholar Rashid Rida, al-Albani developed an interest in hadith studies and became skeptical of Sufism, as well as the Hanafi school he grew up in.
