Day 1 on the Biography of Legendary mystic Scholar, Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse: Africa's preacher in the twentieth century (r)

Translated by: Adnan Wood-Smith (USA) from an Arabic article by al-Hadi b. Muhammad al-Mukhtar al-Nahwi (Mauritania)

Via: Anatomy of Sufism TV 📺

In the name of Allah, the Most Widely and Most Deeply Merciful. May Allah send prayers,peace, and blessings upon Our Master, our Beloved, our Intercessor Muhammad, and upon his family, his companions, and all who follow them well until the Last Day.

Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse (may Allah have mercy on him and be pleased with him) was born on Thursday, Rajab 15, 1320 AH (October 1900), in Tayba, which is a small village near Kaolack in Senegal.

He grew up in the care of his father, the great scholar and warrior al-Hajj Abdullahi b. Muhammad b. Mademba.

He recited the Qur’an with him until he had memorized it fluently in the recitation of Warsh, and then went on to learn different sacred sciences.

His high aspiration and consistent, wholehearted engagement in seeking knowledge propelled him to become deeply versed in all branches of the sacred sciences, manifest and hidden. His father was his only teacher.

His superiority became clear while he was still young. As a youth, he gained distinction in his knowledge of commentary on the Qur’an and all its related sciences, as well as in hadith sciences, jurisprudence, the foundations of jurisprudence (Usul al-Fiqh), linguistic sciences, and Sufism.

He became an authority in all of these sciences, and before he reached the age of 30 he was giving benefit to many people from all kinds of countries, Arab and non-Arab, came to him to drink from his knowledge.

Scholars came before the generality of Muslims bending their knees in his presence, drinking from the pearls of his knowledge, yearning for knowledge of the spiritual greats and of how to discipline and purify the self For them, he was an ocean without shore, a fountain of sweet water that never tires, a locus of comprehension that made great ones seem small in comparison.

INTRODUCTION Islam has three positions (ISLAM, IMAN, IHSAN) all within LAA ILAHA ILLA LLAH. Each of the positions has three grades and within each grade there are three categories of people, i.e.

The General, The Special and The More/Exceptionally Special who will be the most pious of the people within that group. We may feel that there is difference amongst them, whereas there is no difference, as they are all within LAA ILAHA ILLA LLAH

Talibés have lived in his house for 20 years without people seeing him him.

When he came for the first time to visit Cheikh Ibrahima Niass in Kaolack, Baye Niass said to Sayyadi Aliou Cissé: "He is a man that you have never seen and that you will not see anywhere.

If he had not come to me, I would have gone to look for him. Today I can say without a doubt that my mission as Fayda Holder will be a success. "

Who is Sayyidi Aliyu Cisse

By: Shaykh Fakhri Owaisi

Via: Anatomy Of Sufism TV
_____

This is Sayyidi Ali Cissè (رضي الله عنه) who was indeed, the CLOSEST companion of Baye Niassè (رضي الله عنه) and his absolute Khalifah.

He is also the father of My Shaykhs Imam Hassan Cisse, Shaykh Mahy Cissè & Shaykh Tijani Cissè. He is also the one who is known as and called, “Bab al-Shaykh (The Door of the Shaykh)”.

Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niassè (‎رضي الله عنه) said about him, ‘The son of my spirit and keeper of my secret..

The one who I am completely pleased with! The one who never ever hurt me through his words, actions or thoughts; as The Prophet ‎ﷺ said about Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (‎رضي الله عنه). The son of Hasan and father of Hasan, Saydi Ali Cisse!’

Saydi Ali (r) had such adab for Baye (r) that he would sit in his presence for hours straight in the Jalsah position (like in prayer) without moving a bit or talking. Saydi (r) was also from those Awliya who would meet The Prophet ﷺ in wakefulness. He had reached this high Maqaam before the age of 30 already.

Among two of his authentic karamat;

1- It was his habit to go to the Hospital of Kaolack daily to check the sick, pay their bills, buy them medicine etc; One day when he asked a Taxi driver to take him there, the driver said: “There is no petrol in the car.” Saydi said to him: “Just drive".

So the man started driving and took Saydi to the Hospital and back. Then Saydi told him: "If you keep this a secret, you can keep driving like this - without gas - forever". So the driver drove like that for a week but couldn't keep the secret longer than that and revealed it.

2- One day Sayadi's doorman saw him come go into the Mosque for prayer, but when he came out he was wet as if he came out of a river. When asked why he was so wet? Saydi said: "A murid of mine in Niger was drowning in the river so he called my name so I went to save him, while I was praying."

Sayadi (r) was also very strict on the Shariah. He would hit with his walking stick any woman that was not wearing Hijab or man that was lazy to go to the Mosque for Prayer. Saydi Ali Cisse (r) was Fana in his Master Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niassè (r).

His eldest son Shaykh Hassan Cissè (r) was chosen to be the Chief-Imam of the Grand Mosque. After he passed away in 2008, his younger brother Shaykh Tijani Cissè was chosen for the esteemed position of leading so many Awliya in prayer daily!”

RESURRECTING THE TRUE SUFISM (Forwarded opinion)

Via: Anatomy Of Sufism TV
___

Being a Sufi many years ago used to be a thing of pride, dignity and honor, but today, Sufism is being tagged as the evil sect giving room to Haraam and neglecting sunnah of the prophet ﷺ all because we've turned away from the Sufism Shāykh Ahmad Tijani رضي الله عنه practiced and turned it to a sect of innovations and misconduct.

What a bitter thing to hear!

During the eras of Shaykh Tijani, Shaykh Ibrahim and other early Sufi Shaykhs, nobody dares to condemn or denounce them because they're knowledgeable, spiritually sound and not in any way out of Quranic teachings and sunnah of the prophet ﷺ.

The reverse is the case these days.

Mawlana Shāykh Al-islam al-Hajj Ibrahim Niasse said; " In the End time, sufism will be known all through the Universe but if a cup of rice (for example ) is cooked for them all, it will be more than enough to feed them all".

The khadim around said "that's ridiculous. A cup of rice can't be enough"! Sheikh further said "it will be enough because there will be very few true Suffi while others will be Sufi of disgrace".

That's exactly What we have now, damaged sufis all over the world.

On TV, radios, or any lectures, we're being abused and even tagged as Kaafir because:

1. Many sufis lack basic knowledge about Islam, All we do is to sing and carry Tasbeeh everywhere like saint. Many can't answer the simplest religious questions, we're just like empty shell that can be filled with anything Whatsoever.

2. The fear of Allah has reduced among the learned Sufis. They are solely after material things and money. They no longer want to please Allah ﷻ but people.

They are white outside but very black internally. Some Shaykhs nowadays claims to have "wusul and fanā" and to have reached many spiritual phases which is nothing but fallacy.

We no longer recognize the true Shaykhs because we got enticed to the rich ones among them which is never a criterion of being a saint.

3. Many so called Khalifas, Shaykhs and mukadams nowadays are incompetent. They are liars, corrupt and evil. They indulge in zinaa, take alcohol, skip Salat all in the name of Sufism. Mawlana Sheikh Tijani رضي الله عنه didn't do it this way neither did he teach it to be done like this.

Mawlana Shāykh Ibrahim Niasse didn't teach that either. They're spoiling and damaging our images, The early Shaykhs didn't do like this that is
why their followers are good examples.

How will things be tomorrow if we allow these ‘bad’ Shaykhs of today to continue like this? They justify all their bad acts with the possession of *unseen inner knowledge (Ilm batn but fails to accept the reactions and reprisals from others in same light.

4. We Murids on the other hand, neglect our duties and responsibilities. No one is ready to correct and rebuke those doing Sufism as if it has no rules. if we don't stand up to denounce these bad eggs among us, suffism will lose its dignity and die gradually,
Though that won't happen.

5. We seem to *lack organization and conduct whereas those who are against us are very tactical in their attacks. They are gradually gaining grounds due to our slow pace in correcting our mistakes.

Mawlid Nabbiyy can be mistaken for MTN project fame or a dancing competition when all you see is singing, drumming and dancing females dancing with male.. is that how Mawlid is done in Kaolack? It's so painful because we're killing Sufism with these numerous innovations.

Why won't other Muslims denounce us?

Let's stop and denounce every act of innovation in suffism and resurrect the real suffism* which Sheikh Ahmad Tijani رضي الله عنه

Shaykh Ahmad Tijani رضي الله تعالى عنه said, ”if you hear anything attributed to me, weigh it with the scale of shari'ah. If it conforms with it, then work with it and if it goes against it, then eschew it”.

MAY ALLAH HELP US IN FOLLOWING THE TRUE PATH OF SUFISM.
AMEEN.

LET'S REVIVE THE TRUE SPIRIT OF SUFISM.

So he wrote a whole book [71 pages] as a response to this question. It is entitled:

"الحجة البالغة في كون إذاعة القراءن سائغة"

"THE PROFOUND PROOF THAT INDICATES THE PERMISSIBILITY OF QURANIC RECITATION ON THE RADIO"

Sheikh used his exceptional and extra-ordinary intellectual capacity by analyslzing the Quranic verses and Prophetic wisdom to answer the question. And you could see that he mentioned all the names of these scholars in an excerpt of the introduction below:

SHEIKH IBRAHIM NIASSE AND SHEIKH MAHMOUD KHALIL HUSARY: ON QURANIC RECITATION

Translated & Compiled By: Husseini Yushau BabalWaiz, New York.

Via: Anatomy of Sufism TV
____

HOW SHEIKH MAHMOUD KHALIL HUSARY (WHO WAS THE FIRST TO RECITE THE QUR’AN AT THE U.N., WHITEHOUSE, HOUSE OF CONGRESS IN THE U.S. & BUCKINGHAM PALACE IN LONDON) STARTED RECORDING THE QUR'AN GLOBALLY: THE ROLE OF MAULANA SHEIKH IBRAHIM, BY VIRTUE OF HIS UNFLINCHING LOVE OF THE QUR'AN & THE PEOPLE OF THE QUR'AN. AN AMAZING BRIEF BUT INSIGHTFUL NARRATIVE HISTORY WORTH READING
__

In a story attributed to Sheikh Mohammed Mahdi Ibrahim Niass [one of his sons] in a recording he made as a biography of his father, "There was a time, sometime in 1960, when the Jews started the idea of playing with the Qur'an and tampering with it. So Maulana Baye Niass upon hearing about this raised this matter up at their annual [رابطة العالم الإسلامي] Conference of the World Muslim League in Saudi(an event of prominent world Islamic scholars), which he was a founding member and deputy chairman.

So upon Allah's inspiration, our beloved Sheikh Ibrahim suggested to the membership the idea of recording it and spreading it worldwide, so people would not be misled by the Jewish scheme and strategy against us.

He therefore suggested the name of Sheikh Mahmoud Khalil Husary and encouraged him to do so, (as he was his friend by then) by recording along with two other reciters. Sheikh Ibrahim even advised him to be going to recite the Qur'an at the Raudah [the demarcated zone of Rasululah s.a.w, the space in-between his pulpit and grave, which he said is a garden as part of the gardens of Jannah/Paradise] in his Masjid in Madinah on daily basis, and with this done, many miracles had happened there during this time." Sheikh Ibrahim would carry with him his recordings whenever he would travel for his global da'awah mission. He would be listening to it and distributing it freely to others.

According to his grandson, Imam Hassan Ciessay, when Maulana Baye Niass was critically sick, to prevent him from reciting, he brought a tape to be playing the recitation, but Sheikh told him that this would not prevent him from reciting [as he had memorized the Qur'an since infancy].

As part of his love toward Sheikh Mahmoud Khalil Husary, he wrote this beautiful qasidah/poem with his own hand as you could see below in a diary pulled for us by his family members from his historical archives:

صبوحي اذا أصبحت و هو غبوقي
مرتل ذكر يزدري برحيق

My breakfast whenever i wake in the morning is also my supper [is Al-Qur'an], Reciting the remembrance [Al-Qur'an] with overflowing ecstasy

بكولخ يتلوا الذكر حاضرا وهو غائب
فتي النيل محمود الخليل صديقي
In Koalack he is present reciting the Qur'an [via a recorder] while he is absent[at the same time]
The young man from [the land of river] Nile [in Egypt] Mahmoud Khalil my friend

كتاب لنا يبدي جبال جلاله
به أرتجي نصري و نصر فريقي
A Book for us whose magnificence diminishes mountains into irrelevance, With it i hope to gain my triumph and the triumph of my team

جزا الله باري الخلق جل جلاله
جمالا جمالا سرّ كل صديق

May Allah Almighty the inventor of creation shower his blessing, With abundance of gracefulness which is the mystery (secret need) of every friend

عليكم بحبل الله قوم محمد
أنار لأهل الخير خير طريق

Hold firm on the robe of Allah O followers of Muhammad ﷺ, He has enlightened for the good people the best way

Another reliable source informed me that, Sheikh Ibrahim also spoke to the then Egyptian President Jamal Abdul Nasir to officially assign Sheikh Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husary to record his recitation on radio and must give an order for it to be recited daily, morning and evening all in a bid to sanctify the authenticity of the Qur’an.
_

As part of Sheikh's penchant for this great Book [Al-Qur'an], he was asked by the prominent scholars of Kano in northern Nigeria in the sixties during on of his visits about the permissibility or otherwise of recording and broadcasting the Qur'an, which the izalah/wahabi scholars regarded as bid'ah.

Last Trip to Nigeria, 1971.

Thank you barhama, for bringing light of Islam to Nigeria.

The biggest karama (miracle ) he said" is to work for me.

But those words don't belong to ordinary ears' he didn't stop there' on top of that, he said " whoever work for me, not only will receive his wish of dunya and Akhira, but has indeed received his wish in dunya and akhira ' that also are not for ordinary ears

He (Muhammad ﷺ ) has done his uttermost best in his sublime call (to Monotheism), But my Lord is the sole Marshall of affairs of the universe (and He wishes some will not heed the call).

NOTE: The prophet ﷺ spent 23 years of call to monotheism, resisting all forms of persecutionsfrom enemies of monotheism, giving up his 24 hours to the mission leaving no hour for himself.

Qur’an 81:28-29, establish that unless God has graced one with guidance, one cannot heed thecall.

فَهُو زَبَدٌ قَدْ زَحْزَحَ اللّٰهُ كَيْدَهُ

He (Musaylama) became prime (in his claim), then Allah neutralises his snare, And survives only what benefits creatures, with full glamour (Muhammad's mission).

Abu Bakr (RA) took the leadership of Islamic state when the Prophet ﷺ died and sent ‘Ikrimah (RA) with a small army to contain, but not attack, Musaylimah’s amassing forces.

Instead, ‘Ikrimah attacked and was soundly defeated. Again, Abu Bakr sent Shahrabil (RA) for the same purpose, but Shahrabil’s army also engaged and was also defeated.

This gave Musaylimah’s forces the reputation of being invincible after all, they just defeated two Muslim armies!

Abu Bakr (RA) had to sent full army under disciplined general, and he appointed Khalid bnWalid (RA) to the task, and after a fierce battle that recorded heavy casualty at both sides, the false prophet was killed in a garden he named Garden of God, which turned into Garden of death.
