Description :

 

 

Allah has servants in the world, who are the carriers of Muhammadan light. Through them people receive blessings for the world and the Hereafter. Habib Ali bin Muhammad al-Habashi, may Allah have mercy upon him, was from amongst these people. He was renowned for his attachment to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. People around him would regularly see the Prophet, ?, in his gatherings and often in his form. No gathering was convened by him except that there was mention of the Prophet's, ?, virtues, praise and characteristics.

 
His masterpiece, the Mawlid Simt ad-Durar was transmitted to him through Divine inspiration, which he composed in 1910 CE (1328AH). Habib Ali revealed, in praise of this composition ;

 

He described this Mawlid “as a manifestation of the state of the Prophet, ?,” and informed us that it is a gift for future generations.

 

 

Habib Ali was known for the great love he had for the Prophet, ?, and for the strength of his connection with him. He was in the rank of being annihilated in the Prophet, ?. This annihilation (fana) is reflected in his mawlid. It is because of his attachment to the Prophet, ?, that he would receive abundant spiritual aid (madad) and was under the Prophet's, ?, protection and care. In fact, in one vision he saw the Prophet, ?, who said to him, "My son, I have placed  a wall around you and your companions."

 

 

Habib Ali passed away on 20th Rabi al-Thani 1333AH (1915CE). He is honoured and remembered for his tremendous connection with the Messenger of Allah, ?, and his Mawlid Simt ad-Durar.
