    Summary

    Sulaiman Moola is a South African Islamic scholar and lecturer. He memorised the Qur'an at fourteen and then studied the sacred sciences for seven years — Arabic and its related sciences, tafsir, hadith, aqidah and fiqh — receiving ijazahs from senior scholars of South Africa and the Indian subcontinent, before teaching at Dar al-Uloom Zakariyya in Lenasia. 1 He frequently addresses Islamic topics on the radio and in Friday sermons across South Africa, has travelled widely for dawah and teaching, and is a senior advisor and teacher at Mathabah. 1

    Books

    His official biography credits him with two books, Echoes from the Cave and The Sun That Never Set, the second of which the Miftaah profile records as recently published through Mathabah. 2 1

    Positions and faith

    Read this section as the report of the sources, not as a museum ruling.

    His official biography and the Miftaah Institute profile — the same biographical text, one source family — state that during his seven years of study he studied fiqh "[specializing in the Hanafi School]". 2 1 A specialisation taken during one's formation under one's teachers is the curriculum he was trained in, not a source naming his own school, and no other source names one. His faith is therefore recorded as unknown.
