Dear Sister, walaikum assalam.
This is just the translation of book by a scholar Maulana Ameen Safdar Okarvi. He has written a short autobiography to narrate to us what he went through and the kind of people he met during his youth, that led to his misguidance and then guidance.

We must keep in mind that there are extreme people in all groups, not just Ahl Hadeeth. The author had a purpose for writing his short 15-page autobiography - and it was to raise awareness for the common folk who don't ponder too deeply into matters.
He is trying to highlight the points which led him to ponder more deeply about trying to look for the truth seriously. And Allah knows best.

When I read the book, I found it very beneficial, because it resonated with many things which I have witnessed within the community. So, I thought I would share the translation. This book is not meant to be a comprehensive categorization of Ahl Hadeeth, rather just a glimpse, so it should not be used to judge people.
