THE LIFE STORY OF MUMMY Ummuhani Ibrahim Niasse BINT SHAYKH IBRAHIM NIASSE AL-KAOLACKY (RTA) She is the last biological daughter that Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse prayed for, in his lifetime.. She is an Ocean of Knowledge and a Memoriser of the Qur'aan (Haafizatul Qur'an).... Sheikh Ibrahim told her mother (Sayyidah Bilqees) that; "Ummuhani resembles my father (i.e. Shaykh Abdullah Niasse)". She memorized the Qur'an (completely) at the age of 13 and she taught it to all her sisters (from her mum). She got married at the age of 18 years, to Shaykh Uthman Zunnurayn Bashir Kano (a close mureed of Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse).... The marriage was officiated and blessed by Shaykh Sidi Aliyu Cisse and Sheikh Abdullahi Niasse. She spent 27 years with her husband (who departed this material world 8 years ago rahmatullahi alaihi) with 9 children...Masha'Allah. They are all Memorizers of the Qur'aan (Huffaazul Qur'an). She was born at London, brought up upto seven years (in the care of her maternal grandpa, sheikh ambassador abdulmalik okene) then she returned to Senegal for Qur'an studies.Shaykh Ibrahim himself was the one that wrote the first huruf/alphabets for her on Lau'hu (Slate). She memorized her first Qur'an from Suuratu Nas to Baqarah. And when returning for the second round from Suuratul Baqarah, she reached the thirteenth hizb "Wamaa min da'abatin fii-l-ardi"-Suratu Huudin. One night, Sheikh Ibrahim called for her after Salatul Ishaa'i. That time her mother was away to Okene, Nigeria...and usually when her mother travelled, Sheikh used to take some of his food and put it in plate, he will then send someone to take it to Daar (School) to give Ummuhani. So that day...when she was called, Baye asked her; "Hope you do get the food I used to send to you?" She said; Yes. Then he asked; "hope you are learning qur'an very well?" She said; Yes. He asked; "where are you now in the Qur'an??". She said; "I have reached 'wamaa min daabatin'". He said; "ok, read it for me". She started reading from the 'Alif-Lam-Raa. kitaabun uhkimat Ayatuhu thumma fussilat min ladun hakeemin khabeer...up to the end of d first sumun of the hizb. Then Shaykh said; "Try to finish the Qur'an, because I have promised your grandpa (Shaykh Abdul-Malik Attah Okene) that you will memorize Qur'an, so put more effort. I am traveling to London tomorrow, when I come back, I will hear your Hadda (Complete Qur'an off heart)." She said; Okay. Then he said; "Open your hand, let me pray for you" Shaykh Ibrahim prayed for her in front of Shaykh Musa Ghana (he's Alive) and Sheikh Kabeeru Faye of Gambia (he's late). Allahu Akbar. that was the last journey shaykh didnt come back to Senegal alive. ❤
