Abd al-Ghani al-Ghunaymi al-Maydani عَبْدُ الْغَنِيِّ الْغُنَيْمِيُّ الْمَيْدَانِيُّ

Shaykh Abd al-Ghani al-Ghunaymi al-Maydani rahimahullah (d. 1298 AH / 1880-1881 CE) was born and raised in Damascus. There he memorized the Qur'an and studied under the foremost scholars of his era. Recognized as an expert in Islamic law and celebrated for his exemplary piety, he became one of the distinguished Hanafi scholars of nineteenth-century Syria. He is most famous for his commentary on the Hanafi legal classic Mukhtasar al-Quduri, known as al-Lubab fi Sharh al-Kitab, a work widely used in traditional Islamic seminaries. His book 'The Seekers Aid: In Upholding the Religious Duties' further reflects his concern with making the fundamentals of Islamic practice accessible to students.
