- A gathering with Mawlana Shaykh Mehmet, Shaykh Baha’uddin Adil and Shaykh Mehmet Nazim in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This took place during Mawlana’s current tour at the Naqshbandī Zawiyya. The singers are part of the Haqqani Mawlid Ensemble. The poem sung is ‘Ashraq al-Kawn’ written by the famous Ba’ ʿAlawī Saint, Habīb ʿAlī bin Muhammad al-Habashī.
Habib ʿAli was born in the town of Qasam, North East of Tarim, in 1843 at a time when his father, Habib Muhammad, was calling to Allah in the area at the order of his Shaykh, Habib ʿAbdullah bin Husayn bin Tahir. It was Habib ʿAbdullah who named him ʿAli. In 1850, Habib Muhammad moved to Makkah, where he became the Mufti of the Shafi’ī school. Habib ʿAli remained with his mother in Qasam where he excelled in the study of the Qur’an and the sciences of the Sacred Law until 1855, when they moved to Seiyun. There he studied at the hands of Habib ʿAbd al-Rahman bin ʿAli al-Saqqaf and Habib Muhsin bin ʿAlawi al-Saqqaf and others.
He would also attend the gatherings of the great Imams, Habib Hasan bin Salih al-Bahr and Habib ʿAydarus bin ʿUmar al-Habashi. In 1860, he travelled to Makkah and spent two years in the company of his father taking as much as he could from his knowledge and adab. He also took from Shaykh al-Islam, Sayyid Ahmad Zayni Dahlan and other great scholars of the time.
He returned to Seiyun in 1862, where he started teaching while still seeking knowledge at the hands of the scholars of the region. It was at this time that he was united with the Shaykh at whose hand his greatest opening came, the Qutb Habib Abu Bakr bin ʿAbdullah al-ʿAttas. Habib ʿAli spent around two years in Habib Abu Bakr’s company and said: “If I was given the choice between the bliss of Paradise and sitting in the presence of Habib Abu Bakr, I would choose sitting in his presence.” Habib Abu Bakr informed Habib ʿAli that he would be like a magnet that pulled people’s hearts to Allah.
Habib ʿAli then broadened his call to Allah, and Allah placed love for him in people’s hearts. He said: “I do not see a net more effective in capturing immense gifts and divine knowledge than calling people to Allah.” Out of his sincerity, if he stood up to give a public speech, people would cry before he even opened his mouth. The mercy that he had for creation was such that he would not sleep before making tawbah on behalf of the whole Ummah and asking Allah to guide the scholars, teach the ignorant and pardon the wrong-doers.
He said: “My hope in Allah is that He will not punish a single person who lives in my time, and this is not a great thing for Allah.” His great companion on the path, Habib Ahmad bin Hasan al-ʿAttas said of Habib ʿAli: “Was he someone who prayed a lot or did not sleep at night or made an immense amount of dhikr? No. Rather, he loved his Lord and his Prophet Muhammad and his predecessors, so they brought him to them and ordered him to speak with their tongue and to call to Allah as the direct deputy of the Prophet.”
Along with his concern for the spiritual nourishment of the people, he also arranged financial support for numerous poor households. He had a great concern for students of knowledge and spent his wealth supporting them and his time educating them. In 1874, he built a Ribat or school in Seiyun for students of knowledge, the first of its kind in Hadramawt. Students came from far and wide to study and live in the Ribat, which produced a large number of scholars and callers to Allah. A few years later, Habib ʿAli built a mosque, Masjid al-Riyad, as an extension of the Ribat.
Habib ʿAli is best known for his immense connection to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. On one of his visits to him in Madinah, the Prophet ﷺ gave him the good tidings that his actions and the actions of his companions had found acceptance with Allah. He established an annual gathering of mawlid in Seiyun on the last Thursday of the month of Rabī’ al-Awwal which up to 40,000 people attended, all of whom Habib ʿAli provided with food and accommodation.
The Mawlid of Imam al-Dayba’ī was recited in the gathering until in 1905, Habib ʿAli composed his masterpiece, Simt al-Durār, which he described as a “Gift to those of later generations, for in it is an exposition on the state of the Prophet ﷺ.” The fame and popularity of Simt al-Durār rapidly spread and it continues to be one of the most popular and widely read of all the Mawlid compositions. In 1328, Habib Salih bin ʿAlawi Jamal al-Layl wrote to Habib ʿAli, his Shaykh, informing him of the impact Simt al-Durur was having in East Africa. On the island of Lamu, Habib Salih built his own Masjid al-Riyad, and gathered great numbers of people to read the Mawlid on the last Thursday of Rabī’ al-Awwal, a gathering which continues to grow to this day.
He died in Seiyun on 20th Rabī’ al-Thani, 1915. A great dome was erected over his grave to accommodate visitors and gatherings of knowledge and remembrance which continue to this day. Al-Fatiha for his soul
❤lots of love❤
Unfortunately, I discovered that Habib ʿAli bin Muhammad al-Habashī authored this poem after I had edited the video so I couldn’t add a photo of his Maqam at the end, as I usually do for videos dedicated to Awliyah. A biography of his is in the description.
May Allah bless Shaykh Mehmet, Ameen!

Asalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa barakutu. Lovely videos brother. It's a shame youtube doesn't always show me your notifications... But my heart remembered you. BarakAllah fik from andalusia
Jazakallah for your kind words. About the notifications, I think what it is, it’s that you have the bell settings onto Personalised. This means that you’ll be notified on videos that CZcams will think you’d like. To fix this, click the bell and select which one you’d like. I realise this may sound a bit pretentious, lol. May Allah bless you.
@@Naqshbandi_Haqqani92 not pretentious at all. Allah blessed you with a great soul and it shines through your actions. Peace to you akhay ❤️
