Sayyidina Ali (kr) said, "Loving the scholars is a form of worship." An Arab poet once said, "Be like the men of Allah, for you are not like them but in the mere resemblance of them lies a great success." Verily the scholars are the heirs of the Prophets.

 

The family of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam), Muslim Scholars, Hadeeth Scientists, and the entire Muslim Ummah have lost one of its great scholars, the honorable and learned scholar of Islam, an heir of the Prophets, the Hadeeth specialist, the Bukhari of this era, head of the Supreme Council of Scholars of Tangier in Morocco, The Grand Mufti, The Waliyy of Allah, The Faqeeh, Al-Usuli, the Linguist, the Muffasser, Al-Hafidh Sayyed Ibrahim bin Muhammad bin Siddiq bin Ahmad Al-Ghumari Al-Hasani (Rahimahu Allah).

 

 

Brief Biography of Al Hafidh Assayyed Ibrahim Al-Ghumari (Rahimahu Allah):

From his father’s side, Sayyed Ibrahim (ra) is a direct descendant of the noble Prophet Muhammad (saw), thorough Al-Hasan (rd), son of Ali (kr) and the Lady Fatima (rd).

 

On his mother’s side, he is a direct descendant of the great scholar, Ahmad Ibn Ajiba (ra). Ibn Ajiba (ra) is known for his wide knowledge and application of it, he is a Shareef from Imam Hasan's family. May Allah bless their souls.

 

Sayyed Ibrahim (ra) memorized the entire Quran from a very young age, and mastered nearly all the Islamic Sciences at the feet of his noble and blessed father and brothers; along with other great scholars of Morocco. It was in Fes, Morocco, that Sayyed Ibrahim (ra) graduated from the Kairoiuin University.

 

Sayyed Ibrahim is a son to the Imam of his time Sidi Muhammad bin Assidiq, who was the most globally known Hadeeth Scholar on earth in the late 1800's and mid 1900's. Sidi Muhammad had six children, all of which are authority in the science of Hadeeth, and are the flag bearers of Ahlus Sunnah in the world. All of them passed away, except Sidi Hasan, may Allah protect him and guide us to benefit from his vast knowledge.

 

Al-Hafidh As-Sayyed Ibrahim was one of the leading Hadeeth specialists in Morocco, serving for a long time as the Imam of the Jamia Masjid in Tangiers. He also headed the Supreme Council of scholars there.

 

Amongst the teachers he studied with were:

 

· His blessed and noble father, the Hafidh Al-Hadeeth, one of the greatest scholars of his time, As-Sayyed Muhammad bin Siddiq bin Ahmad Al-Ghumari (ra).

· His blessed and noble brother, the Hafidh Al-Hadeeth, the light of the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah, As-Sayyed Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Siddiq bin Ahmad Al-Ghumari (ra).

· His blessed and noble brother, the Hafidh Al-Hadeeth, a diamond from Allah, a sign from Allah, the light of the west and east, As-Sayyed Abd-Allah bin Muhammad bin Siddiq bin Ahmad Al-Ghumari (ra).

· His blessed and noble brother, the great authority in Hadeeth, As-Sayyed Zamzamy bin Muhammad bin Siddiq bin Ahmad Al-Ghumari (ra).

· His blessed and noble brother, the great scholar of Hadeeth, Sayyed Abdul Aziz bin Muhammad bin Siddiq bin Ahmad Al-Ghumari (ra).

· His blessed and noble brother, a jewel from Allah, the great Hadeeth scholar, Hafidh Sayyed Hasan bin Muhammad bin Siddiq bin Ahmad Al-Ghumari Hafidahu- Allah; May Allah preserve him and grant him a long and healthier life Ameen, Thuma Ameen.

 

Above are the main teachers of Sayyed Ibrahim (ra). There are literally 100's of scholars where Sayyed Al-Hafedh Ibrahim studied, and he, Radiyallahu Anhu, gave permissions (Ijaza) to many leading Hadeeth authorities in the world to transmit Hadeeth through him.

 

Sayyed Muhammad bin Yahya Al-Ninowy Al-Husayni recounts his last visit to Sayyed Ibrahim, “when I was at his house last year, his health was deteriorating rapidly and he had a hard time even talking. yet he, Radiyallahu Anhu, would not let me carry his groceries, and often insisted on me getting married. Everytime I asked him, may Allah bless his soul, Sidi is there anything you want? he always replied: make du'a for me. Every second I spent with Sidi Ibrahim, Sidi Abd-Allah will be deeply missed.”

 

May Allah grant Shaykh wa Sayyidi  Ibrahim (ra) the highest rank in paradise, and assemble him and us with him at the basin of his grandfather The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam). May Allah (swt) illuminate his grave with the perfumes and flowers of paradise, and may Allah (swt) give us all patience at this time of distress.
