Rashid Rida
Albani’s son ‘Abd Allah praised Rashid Rida as "muhaddith Misr"" (the ḥadīth scholar of Egypt). Islamic scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi considered Rida to be the most prominent scholar who advocated Salafiyya in contemporary era and described Rida as "the "Mujaddid" of his time". Qaradawi described Rida's thought as a "lighthouse" that "guided the ship of Islam in modern history".
