Muhammad Nasr al-Din Muhammad Uwayda (fl. 1418 AH / 1998 CE) is a contemporary Islamic scholar and author who served as an instructor in Jeddah, known for his compilations on hadith and Islamic ethics.
Career and Scholarly Contribution
Known by the kunya Abu Rahma, Uwayda worked as a teacher at the charitable organization for Quran memorization in Jeddah, serving at its branch encompassing Mudrikah, Rahat, and Huda al-Sham. In his educational approach, he emphasized the necessity of pairing religious learning with proper conduct (adab), maintaining that acquiring knowledge without cultivating ethical character harms the student and runs contrary to the method of early Islamic scholars.
In 1418 AH (1998 CE), Uwayda completed Fasl al-Khitab fi al-Zuhd wa al-Raqaiq wa al-Adab (Decisive Speech on Asceticism, Heart-Softening Topics, and Manners), a ten-volume comprehensive treatise dedicated to Islamic spirituality, moral conduct, and ascetic traditions. He also compiled al-Diya al-Lami min Sahih al-Kutub al-Sitta wa Sahih al-Jami (The Radiant Light from the Authentic Hadiths of the Six Books and Sahih al-Jami'), in which he assembled verified prophetic traditions arranged thematically—commencing with monotheism (tawhid), followed by jurisprudence (fiqh), virtues, and vices—to serve as a structured reference for students and Islamic callers (du'at).
