Shaykh Salih al-Ja’fari
His coming to Egypt to join the Azhar was by a sign from shaykh Abd al-‘Aali, may Allah be pleased with him. And he tells us about that, saying: “Before I came to the Azhar, someone from town brought a volume of al-Nawawi’s commentary on Sahih Muslim, so I borrowed it from him and began to study it. So I saw (in a vision) sayyidi Abd al-‘Aali al-Idrisi, may Allah be pleased with him, sitting on a chair, and with him his sustenance for travel, and I heard someone saying: ‘The sayyid wants to travel to Egypt, to the Azhar,’ so I came and greeted him, and kissed his hand, so he said to me sharply: ‘Knowledge is taken from the chests of men, not from books!’ and he repeated it, so I woke up from my sleep and was inspired by my Lord to travel to the Azhar. And when I reached it I found the hadith scholar shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim as-Samaluti, teaching al-Nawawi’s commentary on Sahih Muslim, so I sat down to listen to him, and heard him teaching the hadith: “There is no hijra after the Opening of Mecca, but only Jihad and intention. When you are called upon to go, then go forth!”

The Countenance of the Beloved appeared, shining before dawn.
His Light encompassed my heart, so I prostrated out of brokenness.
He said, ‘Rise, and ask of me, And you will have whatever you desire!’
I replied, ‘You. You are sufficient for me, I can’t be patient with distance from You!’

Shaykh Salih al-Ja’fari (may Allah be pleased with him), though he was the Imam of the Noble Azhar Mosque, did not always lead the Friday Prayers. Very often the great Shaykh Muhammad al-Ghazali (may Allah have mercy on him) would lead the Prayers and give the Friday Khutba, and then Shaykh Salih would start his famous Friday Lesson after the Prayers, as he usually did. Shaykh al-Ghazali had a rationalistic approach to the religion, and on one Friday, he dedicated his khutba to this one topic: that scholars should no longer mention the chains of transmission of the hadith that they are quoting in their lessons or books. He argued that most people today did not know most of the names in the chains of transmission, let alone have the mental ability to analyze the chain. Therefore, he argued, a scholar should simply say the hadith, and in which hadith collection it could be found, and whether he believed it to be authentic or not.

After the prayers, Shaykh Salih al-Ja’fari stood up on his chair to begin his Friday Lesson as usual. He would start every lesson with certain verses of the Qur’an and the following, “[I teach you] Through a connected chain to the scholars of the noble Azhar and others, in Qur’anic recitations, Hadith, and Qur’anic exegesis, may Allah most high be pleased with them and benefit us and you by them and by their knowledge. Amen.”

This time, however, Shaykh Salih began reciting one of his chains of transmission, scholar by scholar, all the way until Imam al-Bukhari, and from him, all the way until the Follower who narrated it, and then the Companion, and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Among those attending the lesson was Shaykh Muhammad Ismail al-Nimr, a Shaykh from the Bayyumi Tariqa, who founded a branch and organization within that Tariqa called The Lovers of the Muhammadan Purity (Ahbab al-Safaa’ al-Muhammadi).This Shaykh was a man of spiritual unveiling, and this is what he said:

When the Shaykh began reciting his chain of transmission, every time he mentioned a scholar, the soul of this scholar would appear next to him! Scholar by scholar, came to join him, and each one shone with more light than the one mentioned before him, as the Shaykh was getting closer and closer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Finally the Shaykh reached the level of the Followers of the Followers, and then the Followers, and then the Companion,and each of them appeared with an even more powerful light than the one before. Finally he mentioned the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and suddenly the Messenger of Allah appeared with such a great force of light that I thought I was going to melt!

Inna lilahi wa inna ilayhi rajioun

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing away of Ustadh Usama Canon.

He sadly passed away on the anniversary of the day he reverted to Islam.

May Allah envelopes him in His mercy and grant him success in the grave and thereafter. May Allah raise him with our Master Sayeduna Muhammad ﷺ in the highest station of jannah. May Allah grant all his loved ones with patience and ease in such difficult time.

Khatm for Shaykh Abdal Qadir as-Sufi

Photos from Living Madina's post 01/08/2021

اناللہ وانا الیہ راجعون

Sheikh Dr Abdalqadir as-Sufi, of the Darqawi-Shadhili-Qadiri Tariqa, passed away peacefully in his sleep during the early hours of this morning (Sunday, 01 August, 2021).

His spiritual inheritance comes from Sheikh Muhammad ibn al-Habib of Meknes and Sheikh Muhammad al-Fayturi of Benghazi.

Shaykh Abdalqadir had been responsible for the most far-reaching and successful Islamic dawa of the modern era, founding mosques in England, Spain and South Africa. As a result, communities of his students can be found across the world.

His writing encompasses well over 20 books, as well as many essays and articles, covering various topics. Perhaps most notable has been his call for the proper implementation of zakat, a return to just forms of trade, the revival of Imam Malik’s legal school and his emphasis on correct and coherent community and family dynamics.

The Shaykh had initiated the translation and publication of translations of the Qur’an into various languages, as well as numerous classical works of Islam, including the Muwatta of Imam Malik and Ash-Shifa of Qadi ‘Iyad.

Al Fatiha for his blessed soul
