Biography

Shaykh ‘Abdul Jabbār Shākir was born in 1976 in a small rural village called Qila Kalar Wala near Sudagarpur Pakistan. His late father, Muhammad Yūsuf, was a religious man, who had 5 sons, 3 of which were Huffādh of The Noble Qur’an. Shaykh ‘Abdul Jabbār’s younger brother was a Mujāhid who attained martyrdom in Kashmīr. He lost his mother at the tender young age of 7, and his father passed away in 2013, one year before Shaykh ‘Abdul Jabbār Shākir’s arrest.

After completing high school (which is completed around 16 years old in Pakistan), his father enrolled him into the well known university Jami’ah Salafiyyah in Faisalabad to pursue knowledge of The Qur’an and Ahādith. He studied there for 7 years, gaining knowledge and studying from various well known scholars in the area, among whom was Mawlana Muhammad Sharīf, who had the noscript of Ustadh al-‘Ulamā’ (the teacher of the ‘Ulamā’), who Shaykh ‘Abdul Jabbār studied very closely with. In his student days, he became known as an eloquent, powerful, and influential speaker. He graduated from the university with impressive marks.

After graduating, he further sought to quench his thirst for knowledge, so he applied and was accepted to Madīnah University in Bilād Al Haramayn, and with his great love for the Messenger (ﷺ), he took his place in the faculty of Hadīth. He studied and gained knowledge of Ahadīth for 6 years in Madinah. During his time there, he independently studied Ilm al-Hadīth from Shaykh Al-Albāni and Ibn Bāz was also one of his teachers. He gave Durūs a number of times in Masjid An-Nabawi and was granted the ability to make Hajj every year and ‘Umrah many times during his stay in The Holy Land. He had an exceptional memory and memorized the entire Qur’an, from cover to cover, in just 2 months. He remained in Madīnah from 1996-2002, and then returned to Pakistan.

Upon his return to the homeland, he began to deliver Jumu’ah Khutab in his hometown and his wisdom and great insight in his preaching began to gather large congregations. In 2005, the people of Sialkot nearby invited him to move there and begin his Da’wah activities in their locality. He accepted the invitation and moved and settled in Sialkot permanently. He began giving Khutbahs in the Masjid of the Two Minarets in Aminabad road, a Masjid that originally had a small Jama’ah, but once he began to preach, the Masjid space became insufficient to hold the attendees. He was known for his excellent manners and sincerity in character, having no ulterior motives behind his excellent treatment of the Muslims. People who met him once couldn’t help but have deep affinity and respect for him. He spent 8 years preaching and calling to Tawheed, Sunnah, and following the Sahabah in Sialkot and there’s hardly a Masjid in the city in which he didn’t deliver Durūs. Aside from Sialkot, he frequented many other cities for Da’wah and spreading ‘Ilm. He began Durūs to teach the entire Qur’an, Ayah by Ayah, in 5 different Masājid and had finished only half of the Qur’an in each Dars (before his arrest) yet hundreds of the people, mostly youth, had changed their lives around due to them and began to lead lives devoted to Allāh. He always spoke out firmly against any evil and wrongdoing, but he was not known to ever publicly and directly criticize any individual, nor to ever stir up any Fitnah between any groups, and he preached with great Hikmah. He was part of the council of seniors for Ahl al-Hadith Markaz of Pakistan.
