About The Guest Speaker:
Dr. Afifi Al-Akiti was born in Malaysia and recently completed his doctoral thesis at Oxford University, on a newly discovered Arabic manuscript of a previously unknown theological work by Imam al-Ghazali. He is also a Research Fellow in Islamic Philosophy and Theology at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. He received his early education at various madrasas with a long tradition in Shafii fiqh in East Java and among his most well known teachers are Shaykh Muhammad Yasin al-Fadani, Shaykh Ibn Mahfuz al-Hajini, Shaykh Ibn Ashmuni al-Jaruni, and Habib 'Aydarus al-Habshi. Furthermore, he has also translated various works in Malay as well as English; mostly textbooks that make up the curriculum of a Classical Islamic education, including Imam al-Bajuri's commentary on the Jawhara, Imam Nawawi al-Bantani on the Jami'a and his commentary on the Bidaya of Imam al-Ghazali. In search of sacred knowledge, he has travelled widely, and notwithstanding the specific ijazas from his training, has also received general ijazas from teachers beyond his homeland.
