We are saddened to hear of the passing of al-Habib al-Mansib Hasan bin Ahmad Ibn Shaykh Abu Bakr bin Salim. Habib Hasan was the Mansib, or head of the clan of Shaykh Abu Bakr bin Salim, and the most senior representative of the School of Hadramawt and the Ba Alawi Way.

We pray for his close family and all those who he leaves behind. May Allah raise his rank, reward him for his service and unite him with Allah’s Beloved ﷺ and all his great predecessors.

For many years, he led the annual visit to the Prophet Hud (peace be upon him) and presided over many other important gatherings. His spiritual and symbolic leadership will be sorely missed. He passed away in Jordan and his body will shortly be returned to Hadramawt.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Sayyid Abu Bakr bin Ali al-Mashhur bin Muhammad bin Salim bin Hafiz. Sayyid Abu Bakr was a young scholar and teacher of the variant Quranic readings (Qira’at). He was the son of Habib Umar bin Hafiz’s older brother, Habib Mashhur.

There is no doubt that he inherited his father’s knowledge, humility and concern for the Ummah. He was travelling to Oman with his family in the path of Allah when his car overturned and he died. Luckily all the other passengers are safe and sound.

It is another blow to a family who only recently lost Sayyid Abu Bakr’s older sister, the caller to Allah Hababah Maryam bint Habib Mashhur. We pray for his close family and all those who he leaves behind.

We are blessed to now have a translation of Imam Muhammad bin Abdullah al-Aydarus’s “Secrets of Those Drawn Near.” It delves deep into the subtleties of the spiritual path and tells us how we as seekers sincerely seek the pleasure of our Lord. daralturath.co.za/product/se…

Ustadh Muhammad Jawad, the translator, has worked for years behind the scenes to make the teachings of the Ba Alawi masters accessible to English speakers. We are indebted to him for his work. May Allah give him the best of rewards along with the author. wardahbooks.com/products/sec…

The fact that the great Imam al-Haddad, who was born not long after Imam Muhammad passed away, praised this work and taught it constantly is sufficient proof of its greatness. He said that it contains “the distilled essence of Sufism.” furthestboundarybookshop.co.…

The 10th Sha’ban is a special day in the calendar of the people of Hadramawt. On this day, the annual visit of the Prophet Hud (peace be upon him) comes to a close. The climax is the visit of the clan of Shaykh Abu Bakr bin Salim led by his descendants and joined by all.

Habib Umar bin Hafiz reminded us of our covenant with Allah and the responsibility of calling people to Allah. All nobility is contained in being a servant of Allah, a follower of Muhammad ﷺ and someone who prostrates not just with their body but with their heart.

In recent days he had delivered lectures in Tarim and other parts of Hadramawt. He was on his way from Oman to Indonesia to call people to Allah and connect them to Allah and His Beloved ﷺ when he passed away. May Allah raise his rank and allow his legacy to live on.
