About the Contributor(s)
About the author
Muhammad Uwais Saror: Muhammad Uwais Saror is a contemporary author best known for his "Hundred Stories" series, a set of accessible English-language collections that each gather roughly a hundred short accounts drawn from the life of a single figure from early Islam. Several titles focus on the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, including Abu Hurayra, Anas ibn Malik, Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, Abdullah ibn Umar, and Abdullah ibn Abbas, the last of whom is remembered as among the most learned of the Companions in Qur'an interpretation. The series also extends to Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra and to Imam Abu Hanifa, the founder of the Hanafi school. Written in a plain, narrative style and published mainly by ZamZam Publishers, the books present each life as a sequence of brief, self-contained episodes, a format well suited to younger readers, families, and newcomers who wish to learn from the character and conduct of the early community. Little is recorded publicly about the author beyond this body of work, which has circulated widely through Islamic bookshops and remains valued for making the lives of the salaf approachable to an English-reading audience.
About the translator
Afzal Hoosen Elias: Afzal Hoosen Elias (1955–2018 CE) was a South African mufti, translator, and remarkably prolific compiler working within the Hanafi school and the Deobandi tradition. He was born in Muharram 1375 AH (September 1955 CE) in Estcourt, KwaZulu-Natal, and first qualified as a draftsman, graduating from the ML Sultan College in Durban, before turning to formal religious study at Darul Uloom Deoband in India. There he completed his Aalim certificate in 1983 and his Mufti certificate in 1984, studying hadith under Mufti Saeed Ahmad Palanpuri and Qurʾanic commentary under the mufassir Ghulamullah Khan of Rawalpindi. His life's work was the translation, compilation, and publication of Islamic knowledge in clear, accessible English, a legacy of more than 600 titles spanning Qurʾan, tafsir, hadith, history, and devotional life. He is best known for "Quran Made Easy," a plain-language rendering of the Qurʾan widely used by general readers, and for his English translation of Aashiq Ilahi's ten-volume tafsir, "Illuminating Discourses of the Noble Quran." His compilations include the popular "Hundred Stories" biographical series on the Companions and early figures, and "The Wisdom of Luqman." For over a decade he served as mufti for Radio Islam in Johannesburg, and for several years for Radio Al Ansaar in Durban. He passed away on 25 April 2018 (8 Shaʿban 1439 AH).
