This study examines the scholarly and da‘wah career of Shaykh Amin as a model of the scholar-educator who combined solid religious formation, preaching, and institutional educational work. The research traces his academic upbringing, his scholarly and da‘wah activities in Baghdad, and his return to Sulaymaniyah, highlighting his impact on education, culture, and moral development.
Using a descriptive-analytical approach, the study analyzes the influence of different phases of his life on shaping his scholarly and da‘wah character. The research is organized into three sections: the first addresses his early upbringing and academic formation; the second focuses on his activities in Baghdad, including his roles in preaching, teaching, studying at the College of Imam al-A‘zam, and contributing to Baghdad Radio; the third examines his return to Sulaymaniyah and his influence on religious education, Arabic language instruction, and training generations of students and preachers.
The study concludes that the integration of traditional Islamic education with formal academic study was crucial in shaping his scholarly personality, and that his experience in Baghdad was pivotal for developing his preaching and educational skills. His return to Sulaymaniyah further reinforced educational initiatives and the preparation of influential scholars. The research underscores the importance of documenting contemporary scholarly biographies, as they provide practical models linking knowledge and action, and offer valuable lessons for the development of Islamic education and da‘wah today.
