Biography of legendary mystic icon, seal of sainthood maulana SHAYKH AHMAD BN MUHAMMADU TIJANI AL-HASSANI (May Allah sanctify his precious secret)   Via: Tidjaniya. By: Anatomy Of sufism TV 📺  ______________________________________ HIS QUEST: In 1171 of the hegira (1757/58 ad), at the age of 21, motivated by an unquenchable thirst, he left Ain Madhi for Fes, the famous city of knowledge and notably its renowned Mosque-University Qarawiyine.

Quote Of Sheik Ibrahim RTA

"We have four enemies: the world, shaytaan, the ego and passionate desire. Each of them has a weapon and has a prison. The world is an enemy and its weapon is meeting with people. Its prison is seclusion. The ego is an enemy and its weapon is satiating ones appetite. It's prison is hunger. Shaytaan is an enemy and his weapon is speech. His prison is silence. And passionate desire's weapon is sleep and its prison is staying awake. Seclusion, hunger, silence, and staying awake are the characteristics of the abdal. The point is that nothing will cause the ego to behave except hunger." ~ Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse  رضي الله عنه
