WHO IS SIDI AHMAD TIJANI OF FEZ (RTA)?
Seyyidina Shaykh Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Mukhtar ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Salaam Tidjani (Rta – May God be satisfied with him) was born in a small town called Ain Madi in Algeria. He was the son of the renowned pious and well learned Sidi Muhammad Ibn Mukhtar Tidjani (Rta). His mother was the lofty and honourable woman of piety, a generous and affectionate woman called Aisha bint Muhammad al-Sanusi. (May God be satisfied with her). His descendancy could be traced back to the Holy Prophet Muhammad through his daughter Sayyidah Fatima Zahra’s first son called Hasan and later through Mawla Idris, the celebrated founder of Morocco. Sidi Ahmad Tidjani Abu-l-Abass is the spiritual Guide of the Tariqah , and is the Grand.
WHO IS SHAYKH IBRAHIM IBN ABDULLAH NIASS (RTA)?
Our Master, the Door of the Hadarah, Sayyid Aliou Cisse, describing Shaykh Ibrahim [Radiya Allahu an’hu] said:
He Is The Shaykh With His Entire Ranks, The Tongues Of His Hours, The Light Of His Age, The Texture Of His Uniqueness, The Location Of Allah’s Sight Among His Creation, The Opened Door For Everyone Who Desire Entry Into The Hadrat Qudsiy [Holy Presence] Of Allah, The Singular One Of His Time In Knowledge And Deen (Religion), The Shaykh Accomplished In The Training Of His Mureeds, The Flag Of The Rightly Guided, The Seal Of The Muhaqiqeen (Those Grounded In The Truth). The Beauty Of The Night And The Days, The Proof Of The Gnostic Universally, The Light Of Time.
Tarbiyyah: The Education of Self Rebirth, Spiritual Unveiling and Sou-Elevation
Shaykh Ibrahim came with the special knowledge of taking any devotee into a journeying of the soul or spirit so as to gain higher consciousness of the relationship between him and his Maker.
The concept of training a devotee to becoming an adept in Allah’s knowledge is not new but the method of the past age was incapable of being readily transmittable. So when Shaykh emerged, Allah gave him the permission to wake people up from spiritual slumber through a unique training of tarbiyyah. This involves teaching a mureed by the Shaykh to recognize himself for what he is in reality to God, to recognize Allah for what He is in Reality to His entire creation including him the slave.
Baye Niass RTA’s Admonition to the Youths of Islam
In one of his many poems, our Shaykh Ibrahim Niass(RTA) charged the youths of Islam to wake up from their slumber and take proper charge of keeping aglow the lights of Islam. He admonished them to refrain from copying western man-made ideologies but rather to pattern their entire preoccupations of life under the Guidance and Prescriptions of Islam.
This poem was culled from......
Tamassak bi idhyaali-n-Nabiyyi mutabian
Madhaaibahu wal muhdathaatu fala-laa
O Muslim Youth! Cling firmly to the prophetic cloak
Follow his footsteps, renounce all the innovations,
Fatughniika an dustuuri Karz wa Khaalidi
Wa tughniika an Juunin yaruumu muhaalaa
You are by that enriched beyond the Schools of Thought of Le…
Let’s Go! To Madinah Baye !!!
Madinah Kaolack is the city founded by Shaykh Ibrahim Niass (RTA) after he was forced to leave his father's town of Tayba Niassene due to persecutions and enmity after his star shone during the period following his declaration of being the Sahibu-l- Faydah, and that Allah had granted him special kinds of knowledge unknown to most people of his time.
Shaykh Ibrahim Niass (RTA) established the city of MADINAH KAOLACK on four important pillars as follows:
- A Place to seek and attain the Knowledge of The Deen and all other Islamic branches of Knowledge from the angle of both the shariah and the aqeeqah [esoteric].
- .A Place For Engaging In Dhikr – The Remembrance of Allah and Watchfulness of Him; and of obtaining its fruit.
