Dr. AbdAllah bin Muhammad bin Sulaiman AlJarAllah

Its normal to appreciate , when a person pursues PhD in a particular field , he is considered to be master of that . Similarly , a person pursuing a fellowship program after MBBS is also highly honored . These are two parallel scenarios . Iam juxtaposing , What will you opine about a person who continued his education after fellowship which was followed by MBBS , a bachelors degree in Quranic Sciences , then pursuing Masters and at last Doctorate in Quranic Sciences. Notwithstanding the fact he is already a qualified and certified doctor before pursuing PhD .

Don't think it to be a joke , it's a reality which was translated by a person Saudi-National , born in Riyadh and currently residing in the Blessed City of Prophet PBUH . He is Dr.AbdAllah b.Mohammad b.Sulaiman AlJar Allah whose name is widely-known  in the fields of Quranic Researches and Family Medicine all over KSA . He is great Qari who specialized in TenVariantReadings and professionally a family physician . Currently he is Head of the Family Medicine Dept. of Prince Sultan Armed Forces Hospital Madina tul Munawarah .On the other hand he is a qualified trainer in Saudi Comission for Health Specialties (The licensing body in KSA for Medical Doctors and paramedics) for Family Medicine.

Academically he has MBBS + Fellowship (family medicine) + Series of Bachelors,Masters and Doctorate in Quranic Sciences .He by the grace of Allah has profound base in the both the types of knowledges.

It will be injustice if I don't mention the great names of Quran-reciters to whom he completed Quranic Recitations . These great names include :

Sheikh al Qura of MasjidAlNabawi Sh.Ibrahim AlAkhdar
Shaikh Dr.Ali b.AbdAlRahman AlHudaify (Current Imam and Khateeb of MasjidAlNabawi ) ,  Shaikh Ahmad Zayyat  , Shaikh Ibrahim AlSammanody , Shaikh Muhyuddin AlKurdi  , Shaikh Kuraim Rajih and others .

If you google each and every above-mentioned names and read their respective biographies then you will be amazed that all these names belong to the highest class of Qurra in their respective times .

He has books and researches on different Quranic Recitation issues . He has also presented papers in different seminars and conferences . He researched on book “إتحاف البرره بما سكت عنه نشر العشره " and was awarded finally Masters . Correspondingly he researched another book named  " غنية الطلبة بشرح الطيبة"  and was awarded Doctorate as a result. Both were from Islamic University of Madina .

It is nothing , but love for knowledge and the type of knowledge which was loved by him was the best-ever knowledge in the whole Universe . That is the knowledge of Quran . His Love for Allah's words electrified him and compelled him to pursue His Love even after professionally qualified .

Sometimes it makes me astonished that How has Allah SWT  blessed him with the terminal educational credentials in Parallel fields of Quranic Sciences and Medicine , considering the scenario we find it to be hard to be adapted in wholly in a single field. Then I remember the verse of Quran (ذالك فضل الله يؤتيه من يشاء ) .

The whole-discussed scenario is for those people who normally opine it to be disliked to study and balance both religious and secular education. I don't know the reason which makes them compelled to do so , but I have a firm belief on the Prophet's saying that ,  إن الله يرفع بهذا الكتاب أقواماً ويضع به آخرين . 

At last I intend to write upon people like him who are acquiring both types of Knowledge and hence serving both fields simultaneously in astonishing manner .
