Internationally renowned Saudi Islamic scholar and Hafiz-e-Quran Sheikh Abdullah Bin Jibreen is no more. He died on July 13, 2009 at Riyadh. He was 78.
Sheikh Abdullah Bin Jibreen was born in 1933 in one of the villages of Al-Quwai’iah. He grew up in Ar Reen town and started his education in 1940. He started memorizing the Holy Quran with the help of his father and completed the memorization through Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Shithri. He also memorized several religious references. He used to attend lessons by senior Ulema on studying books on the Shariah, literature and history.
He got his secondary school certificate in 1958, a bachelor degree in Shariah in 1961, master degree in 1970 from the Higher Institute for the Judiciary, and a doctorate with excellent grade and honours in 1987.
Several judges, teachers and religious scholars were taught by him. He accompanied the late Sheikh Abdul Aziz Bin Baaz in most of his lessons in the Grand Mosque and used to give sermons and lead prayers on his behalf a number of times. The world of letters is poorer in his passing away. This is the greatest blow to the Islamic world after the death of late Sheikh Abdul Aziz Bin Jibreen.
