This is a summary translation of Shaikh Abdur Rahman al Ajlaan’s biography taken from:

http://www.albaidha.net/vb/showthread.php?t=32050

He was born in Uyoon al-Jawaa’, one of the sub-districts of the district of Qaseem in the year 1357 after the Hijrah

He studied in the beginner schools (kuttaab) in Uyoon al Jawaa’.  In the year 1368 he enrolled in Faisal school in Buraidah, the first school (madrasah) to open in Qaseem.  He graduated from there in 1371.  In 1374 he enrolled in the Institute of Knowledge in Buraidah. In 1379 he enrolled in the College of Sharee’ah in Riyadh.  In 1386 he enrolled in the Higher Judicial Institute when it first opened.

From his work:

In the year 1372H (when he was 15), he was appointed teacher in Tharmadaa Elementary School which the Crown Prince Sa’ood ibn Abdul Azeez  had commanded to be opened. 

He was appointed to teach in the Prophet’s masjid

He was appointed to teach in the College (or Faculty) of Sharee’ah in Riyaad in 1386

In 1387 he was appointed Supervisor of the Institutes of Knowledge

In 1389 he was entrusted before the Chief Justice Shaikh Muhammad ibn Ibraheem Aalush Shaikh with opening the first Saudi courthouse in the Emirates, in the Emirate of al-Fujairah

In 1393 he was entrusted by command of the noble King Faisal – rahimahullah – with opening the courthouse of ‘Ajmaan (in UAE) and was appointed by him as a judge in it until the year 1405 when he requested to be moved to Makkah. So he was appointed a judge in the Higher Court of Makkah. He continued in that along with being entrusted with teaching in the Sacred Masjid until the year 1410 when the order came from the Servant of the two noble Sacred Precincts, King Fahd ibn Abdul Azeez – rahimahullah – appointing him head of the courts in the Qaseem district.  He continued in that until the year 1420 when he sought early retirement (at age 63) so that he could continue teaching in the Sacred Masjid and he is still teaching there.  He also taught in the University Ummul Quraa in the College of Sharee’ah.  He also taught in the higher department at Darul Hadeeth al Khairiyyah in Makkah and he is still doing that.

King Faisal ibn Abdul Azeez

Taken from the Saudi government website:

http://www.info.gov.sa/portals/kingdom/kingdomkings.html

 

King Faisal was the third King of Saudi Arabia, reigning from 1964 to 1975.

In 1925, Faisal, in command of his father’s arms, won a decisive victory in the Hijaz. Faisal became viceroy of the Hijaz, thus extending King Abdul Aziz’s remit to the west of the peninsula.

Following the formation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Faisal was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1932. Faisal served as Prime Minister under King Saud.

In 1964, Faisal was named regent and, a few months later in the same year, became king. Although a great respecter of tradition, King Faisal proved to be a far-sighted innovator [not in the religious sense of the word]. In the course of his reign, Faisal initiated a number of major economic and social development plans. Under Faisal, the industrial development of the Kingdom began in earnest. In foreign policy, King Faisal showed a resolute commitment to the essential interests of the Arab and Islamic world.

King Fahd ibn Abdul Azeez

Bio taken from the Saudi government website:

http://www.info.gov.sa/portals/kingdom/kingdomkings.html

 

King Fahd, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, was the fifth King of Saudi Arabia.

 

King Fahd has brought to his high office a wide range of experience in a number of key posts.

He was appointed the first Saudi Arabian Minister of Education in 1953. He served at that Ministry for five years, laying the foundations for the Kingdom’s ambitious and successful educational program. He became Minister of the Interior in 1962, holding this key position for thirteen years – in the course of which he ensured the Ministry could discharge all its functions as efficiently as any such organization in the world. In 1975, when he became Crown Prince, he had, with consummate grasp of the complexities of the task, undertaken the supervision of both the planning and the implementation of the Kingdom’s second and subsequent five year plans.

It has been, however, in the field of international diplomacy, that Fahd bin Abdul Aziz as king has made his greatest contribution. Working tirelessly, he has brought to bear on the intractable problems of the region his own remarkable subtlety of mind combined with great tenacity of purpose to find, whenever possible, peaceful solutions, based on justice. In the pursuit of this goal, he was always ready to deploy the status and the resources of the Kingdom.

King Fahd died on 1st August, 2005. He was succeeded by Crown Prince Abdullah.

“We” in the Quran – explained by Shaikh Uthaymeen

 

https://sughayyirah.wordpress.com/we-in-the-quran-shaikh-uthaymeen/

How to say Stepfather/stepson

 

 

 

 

Stepmother	رَابِّيَةٌ		Stepfather1	رَابٌّ
Stepdaughter	رَبِيْبَةٌ		Stepson	رَبِيْبٌ
Stepdaughters2			رَبَائِب

 

 

والرابُّ زوج الأُمِّ. والرابَّةُ امرأة الأب. وربيبُ الرجلِ: ابنُ امرأته من غيره، وهو بمعنى مَرْبوبٍ؛ والأنثى رَبيبَة.

 

 

 

“And the Raabb (stepfather) is the husband of the mother.

 

And the Raabbah (stepmother) is the wife of the father.

 

And the Rabeeb (stepson) of a man is the son of his wife whom he is not the father of.  And Rabeeb means Marboob (on the object pattern – one who is nurtured, cultivated), its feminine is Rabeebah (stepdaughter).”³

 

 

 

 

 

And from Tafsir at Tabari of verse 4:23⁴:

 

 

 

أما ” الربائب ” فإنه جمع ” ربيبة “، وهي ابنة امرأة الرجل. قيل لها ” ربيبة ” لتربيته إياها، وإنما هي” مربوبة ” صرفت إلى ” ربيبة “، كما يقال: ” هي قتيلة ” من ” مقتولة “.  وقد يقال لزوج المرأة: ” هو ربيب ابن امرأته “، يعني به: ” هو رَابُّه “، كما يقال: ” هو خابر، وخبير ” و ” شاهد، وشهيد “.

 

 

 

As for “Rabaa’ib”, then it is the plural of “Rabeebah (stepdaughter)” and it is the daughter of a man’s wife.  She is called “Rabeebah” because of his nurturing⁵ her.

 

 

 

And she is “Marboobah” (the object form – one cultivated, nurtured) which is changed to “Rabeebah”⁶. Just like it is said, “She is Qateelah (killed)” (Qateelah is) from “Maqtoolah”

 

 

 

And it is said about the woman’s husband (the stepfather) that “he is Rabeeb of the woman’s son”, meaning “He is his Raabb (Nurturer)”⁷. Just like it is said, “He is Khaabir and Khabeer (both mean ‘aware’)” and “Shaahid and Shaheed (both mean ‘witness’)”

 

 

 

(end of translation of tafsir Imam at Tabari)

 

 

 

This may be a helpful file (some intensive pattern forms – it gives fa’eel and mentions that it is for the doer form (only), though fa’eel can be the form of the doer – like Shaheed (witness) which Imam at Tabari mentioned, or the form of the object, like Qateel (killed) which Imam at Tabari also mentioned):

 

 

 

https://sughayyirah.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/mubaalaghah.pdf

 

 

 

As for stepsister or stepbrother, then you can say this by saying:

 

 

 

أَخٌ غَيْرُ شَقِيْقٍ or أُخْتٌ غَيْرُ شَقِيْقَةٍ 

 

 

 

which means a sibling from one parent but not both, so it can mean stepbrother/stepsister or half brother/half sister

 

 

 

And Allah knows best.

 

(footnotes)

 

 

 

 

 

1 From www.almaany.com and http://baheth.info الصحاح في اللغة    under ربب

 

2    See also verse 4:23

 

3 From: http://baheth.info الصحاح في اللغة    under ربب

 

4 From www.Qurancomplex.org

 

5 Tarbiyyah -nurturing, cultivating step by step, from the verb رَبَّى  يُرَبِّي

 

6 This form – fa’eel فَعِيْل is also an object form, like مَفْعُوْل it may be an intensive of the object form.

 

7 So we see that this pattern form – فَعِيْل not only is a pattern for the object, but also a pattern for the doer of the verb (the doer pattern which for 3 letter root bare (mujarrad) verbs, the form is فَاعِل )

 

The Living Scholar of the language Abdur Rahman al Kooni

Shaikh Abdur Rahman ibn Auf al Kooni, whom Shaikh Abdullah Bukhari  mentions that he was one of his Shaikhs and taught him some grammar:

http://www.albaidha.net/vb/showthread.php?p=153814

الكوني، نزيل في المدينة النبوية، فقد أخذتُ منه (ملحة الإعراب) للعلامة الحريري،
