1 Shaykh Ahmad Tijani (RA) and SAYYIDNA AL-HUSAYN (AS) By: Fakhruddin Owaisi As-Salam Alaykum, As we recall the tragic martyrdom of the Son of the Messenger of Allah and his sweet offspring, Imam Husayn ibn Ali (RA), in the land of difficulty and affliction [karb wa balā ] (Karbalā ) in the area of al- Tuff in Irāq, I forward you all the great book which refutes the Nāsibīs (haters) who defend the enemies of the Ahl al-bayt: الرد على المتعصب العنيد المانع من ذم يزيد - البن الجوزي Refuting the Stubborn Fanatic who Forbids the Cursing of Yazīd by Imam Ibn al-jawzī. -.html It is well known that among the major principles of the Tijānī Ṭarīqah is reverence for the People of the Noble Prophetic Household (Ahl al-bayt). Our Shaykh, al-khatm Sidi Ahmad al-tijānī (RA) had extolled their rank. And he is also from them. He is a Ḥasanī Sharīf, whose lineage is authentic, having been verified by the Chief of Existence and Noblest of Ancestors, the Prophet (SAW), with his saying to him: أنت ولدي حقا You are truly my offpsring. He (SAW) repeated it thrice. (As reported in Jawāhir al-maʼānī) In fact, Shaykh Ahmad Tijani (RA)'s ancestor al-hasan al-muthanna (son of Imam Hasan), was PRESENT in Karbala, as a small child in the ladies camp. For this reason he (and his cousin Zayn-al- Abidin) were spared the murder by the accursed army of Yazid. Hasan the son of Hasan & Ali Zayn-al-Abidin the son of Husayn were the only two male survivors of that massacre of the Ahl-al-Bayt. From them the Prophetic Lineage continued.

2 Despite being a Sharif/Sayyid himself, it was the practice of our Shaykh, al-khatm al-tījānī (RA), to stand up when welcoming any of the Noble Sharifs (Sayyids) and kiss their hands, even if they were among his disciples!!! (See Kashf al-hijāb of Sīdī Ahmad Sukayrij) Our Shaykh, al-khatm al-tijāni (RA) also mentioned in the Jawāhir al-maʼānī that whatever the honourable Sahabah had found of Prophetic knowledge, had reached them through the mediation of Imām ʼAlī al-murtadā (RA). And that, from our Shaykh (RA), is verified by the well-known Prophetic Hadīth: أنا مدينة العلم و علي بابها I am the City of Knowledge and Alī is its gate. (Narrated by al-hakim and Tirmidhi) And he also mentioned that Sayyidah Fātimah al-zahra (AS) was the only woman who had attained the level of the Greatest Qutbāniyyah. And that is the greatest level after the levels of Prophethood. It is a level which a woman is not capable of bearing due to her weakness and because of menstruation. However, Sayyidah Fāţimah (AS) had bore it because she did not menstruate and because she is a Piece of the Prophet (SAW). So, she is the first Qutb of this Ummah. As for the the Greatest Martyr, the grandson of our Nabi, Sayyidna al-husayn (RA), our Shaykh Ahmad al-tijānī (RA) had openly cursed his killer, the Tyrant of the Shām, Yazīd, with his saying: الدنيا و اآلخرة و أعد لهم بن معاوية ملعون لقوله تعالى: "إن الذين يؤذون هللا و رسوله لعنهم هللا في يزيد توليتم أن تفسدوا في األرض وتقطعوا أرحامكم أولئك الذين عذابا مهينا" و لقوله عز و جل: "فهل عسيتم إن أبصارهم" و ال إذاية له صلى هللا عليه وسلم أعظم من قتل ولده و قطع رحمه لعنهم هللا و أعمى Yazīd ibn Muʼāwiyah is cursed due to Allah's saying, Exalted is He: {Indeed, those who abuse Allāh and His Messenger - Allāh has cursed them in this world and the Hereafter and prepared for them a humiliating punishment} [al-ahzab, 57] and due to His saying, Great and Sublime is He:

3 {So would you perhaps, if you turned away, cause corruption on earth and sever your [ties of] kinship. Those [who do so] are the ones that Allāh has cursed, so He deafened them and blinded their vision} [Muhammad, 22] And there is no abuse of our Prophet, may Allāh bless him and give him peace, greater than killing his offspring and cutting off his lineage." (Narrated by his close muqaddam, Sīdī al-tayyib al-sufyānī, in al-ifādah al-ahmadiyyah, Saying no 263) Also, our Shaykh al-tijānī (RA), used to love the recitation of the blessed Qasidah Hamziyyah of Imām al-būsayrī. Among the couplets of this poem exalting the Ahl al-bayt are are: طيبهما منك وبريحانتين الذي أودعتهما الزهراء And the two sons whose perfumed scent is from you Who the extremely Pure one had bore تؤويهما إليك كما كنت آوت من الخط نقطتيها الياء You used to give them shelter in yourself just as The Ya' gave shelter to the writing of its two dots

4 من شهيدين ليس ينسيني الطف مصابيهما وال كربالء Two martyrs, Neither al-taff makes me forget their affliction, nor Karbalā ما رعى فيهما ذمامك مرؤوس وقد خان عهدك الرؤساء The ruled did not take care of your rights with regards to them... and the rulers as well betrayed your pact (to love them) أبدلوا الود والحفيظة في القربى وأبدت ضبابها النافقاء They replaced the Love and Care (that was due) to your relatives (with hate and harm)...and the fogs of Hypocrisy rose from its people وقست منهم قلوب على من بكت االرض فقدهم والسماء

5 Hardened became their hearts towards those For whose loss (Hasan & Husayn) the Earth and Heaven had wept فابكهم ما استطعت إن قليال في عظيم من المصاب البكاء So weep for them as much as as you are able, Surely the very least (showing of emotion) In the midst of such a great affliction is crying كل يوم وكل أرض لكربي منهم كربال وعاشوراء Every day and every land, due to my grief over them is Karbalā and ʼĀshūrā آل بيت النبي إن فؤادي ليس يسليه عنكم التأساء O People of the House of the Prophet! All my own griefs cannot stop my heart from grieving for you

6 غير أني فوضت أمري الى هللا وتفويضي االمور براء But I have resigned my matter to Allāh And my resignation of matters (to Him) is my salvation رب يوم بكربالء مسيئ خففت بعض وزره الزوراء That evil day in Karbala, perhaps some of its misdeeds were atoned in al-zawra (Baghdad, whose Abbasid Caliphs avenged the Ahl al-bayt) واألعادي كأن كل طريح منهم الزق حل عنه الوكاء When the enemies (of the Ahl al-bayt) were laying around dead and mutilated آل بيت النبي طبتم فطاب المدح لي فيكم وطاب الرثاء

7 O People of the House of the Prophet, You are pure! So my praises and eulogies for you are also pure Our Shaykh, Sāhib al-faydah al-tijāniyyah al-hajj Ibrāhīm Niasse al-kawlakhī (RA) made Ziyarah of both the graves of our Master al-husayn (RA), in Karbalā (where his noble body is) and in Egypt (where his noble head is). About that visit he (RA) says in Sayr al-qalb: بكربالء زرت الحسين توسال لوالده األرضى من هللا طالبا In Karbalā I visited al-husayn seeking a means To his father (Ali), the pleased one, seeking (a means to) Allāh علي أبي السبطين ليث محمد بصارمه الصمصام أنحي المصائبا ʼAlī, the father of the two grandsons, the Lion of Muhammad By whose sharp sword I ward off calamities! And when Shaykh Ibrāhīm (RA) visited the Prophetic Relics which are stored in the Mosque of our Master al-husayn (RA) in Cairo, he asked those in charge to bring the Relics closer to his breast, saying:

8 قربوه من قلبي لكي يتطهر Bring them closer to my heart, so that it may be purified!!! It was also the habit of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse (RA) to give as a gift (Hadya) whatever he had of wealth to whichever descendant of the Prophet (SAW) who visited him- even if his lineage had not been verified - out of reverence for the Prophetic lineage. The following articleis also good: We conclude with some of the Prophet (SAW)'s extortions to the Ummah about his two beloved grandsons, our masters Hasan and Husayn (RA): دعوهما بأبي هما و أمي من أحبني فليحب هذين Leave them alone, May my parents be sacrificed for them two Whoever loves me, then let him love these two. من أحبهما فقد أحبني و من أبغضهما فقد أبغضني Whoever loves these two has loved me. But whoever hates them has hated me. حسين مني وأنا من حسين أحب هللا من أحب حسينا

9 Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn. Allāh loves whoever loves Husayn The first hadith was related by al-nasā'ī and al-ṭabarānī The second by Ibn Mājah and Ahmad The third by al-tirmidhī, Ibn Mājah and Ahmad See the attached photo of Imam Hassan Cisse (RA) at the Tomb of Imam Husayn (RA) in Cairo. Was-Salam Servant of the Family of Muhammad (SAW) Fakhruddin bin Ahmad al-tijani (RA)
