Learning How to Ask from God-Habib Abdul Qadir al-Saqqaf Teacher of Hamza Yusuf,Habib Ali&Habib Umar

al-Qutb al-Habib Abdul Qadir Ibn Ahmad al-Saqqaf was born in Seiyun, Hadramawt in 1331, the Pole of the Ahlul Bayt(prophet's family) is the unsung Shaykh of Habib Umar bin Hafidh, Habib Ali al-jifri, Shaykh Hamza Yusuf and many more.
A pillar which signifies ones nearness to Allah is humility, and Abdul Qadir al-Saqqaf never fell short of this quality. He is renowned for his efforts to make people feel at ease, never feeling comfortable if the people around him were uncomfortable.
He respected people, and thus he was respected, he asked for prayer and made sure his guests felt welcome - even his students. A major element of his honor is derived from his subservient nature and immense shame before Allah.
Habib Abdul Qadir Al-Saqqaf would often attend gatherings with Habib Ahmed Mashhur Al-Haddad, his spiritual brother. Together they seemed to form a delicate balance. Al-Saqqaf embodied Majesty (Al-Jalal) while Al-Haddad embodied Beauty (Al-Jamal). Gatherings with these men were suffused with blessing.
He was a spiritual lord who commanded enormous influence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia against all odds, for Sufism was banned and suppressed by the religious authorities and Al-Saqqaf was one of the world’s preeminent Sufi masters.
He was given the best of upbringings by his father, the great scholar and caller to Allah, al-Habib Ahmad al-Saqqaf. He memorized the Qur’an in his early years and began the pursuit of knowledge at the hands of his father and the Mufti of Hadramawt, al-Habib `Abd al-Rahman bin `Ubaydullah al-Saqqaf, as well as al-Habib Muhammad bin Hadi al-Saqqaf. Amongst his teachers were the Imams of his time, al-Habib `Alawi bin `Abdullah Bin Shihab, al-Habib Ja`far bin Ahmad al-`Aydarus and al-Habib `Abdullah bin `Umar al-Shatiri.
He began teaching publicly in Seiyun at a young age and students of knowledge flocked to benefit from him. However, when the Socialist regime in South Yemen began persecuting scholars he left Yemen in 1393, going first to Singapore and then Indonesia. He then headed to the Hijaz, where he was to settle in Jeddah. He established gatherings of knowledge and remembrance in his house in Jeddah attended by numerous scholars and visitors.
He made trips to various countries calling to Allah and visiting the scholars and Muslims in those places. Amongst the places he visited were Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, the Comoros Islands (where he visited al-Habib `Umar bin Ahmad bin Sumayt in the company of al-Habib Ahmad Mashur al-Haddad) and East Africa. He visited North Yemen and returned to visit Hadramawt after the unification of North and South Yemen but did not resettle there.
He was loved by all those that came into contact with him. He had immense concern for every member of this Umma, regardless of their race or rank and he would stop at nothing to attend to people’s needs and deal with their requests. Countless people benefitted from his knowledge and from his gatherings, which were gatherings of connection to Allah, His Messenger and the Imams of this deen.
Habib Ali al-jifri narrates a beautiful story about Habib Abdul Qadir al-Saqqaf(may Allah be well pleased with him). He was traveling from one gathering to another. One of his disciples opened the car door for him. When Habib Abdul Qadir climbed in to the car, the disciple shut the car door and climbed into the back seat.
When they reached their destination Habib Abdul Qadir told his disciples to go on ahead of him. When they left the car, he calmly asked the driver to come round and open the door. The driver discovered that the disciple had unknowingly shut the car door on the Shaykh's fingers. Habib Abdul Qadir quietly asked the driver if he could take him to a hospital. The driver asked him why he hadn't said anything earlier. He replied that he didn't want to distress the disciple who had closed the door.
One day Sayyid Omar Abdullah returned from a visit to Al-Saqqaf at his home in Jeddah. His visit had produced an unveiling. “I realized,” he said with grave certainty, “that Al-Saqqaf has reached the station of baqa (subsistence in God). He has been completed.” Sayyid Omar rarely discussed the spiritual stations of his peers.The supreme stations of knowledge (ma’rifa) on the Sufi path are fana(annihilation) and baqa(subsistence in God), referred to in Sura Rahman (55:26-27):
“All that is on the earth shall pass away (faan)
And the Face of your Lord will abide forever (yabqa),
full of Majesty and Generosity.”
“Fana is annihilation of consciousness of ‘ubudiyyat, (human individuality as a servant of the Lord) and baqa is subsistence in the contemplation of ilahiyyat (divinity).

There is no man in the universe like him! By Allah! There is no man in the universe like him!” It is no secret that the station of Abdul Qadir al-Saqqaf comes through his nearness to the Prophet Muhammad (May Allah bring us nearness to the final messenger in order we may honour him), dedicating his life to the example of the Messenger (Peace and infinite blessings be upon him) and gaining connection with his ancestor, the Emissary of God. #Habib #Ali #al-jifri narrates a beautiful story about Habib Abdul Qadir al-Saqqaf(may Allah be well pleased with him).

When al-Sayyid Salim bin Abdullah al-Hamid requested counsel from Habib `Abd al-Qadir he wrote the following: After praising Allah and sending blessings upon the Messenger of Allah he advised him to hold fast to taqwa of Allah. He said that the people of taqwa are of varying levels and taqwa itself has no end, since it is in reality a divine outpouring which people receive according to the readiness of their hearts. Those who have attained these stations are with the people with their physical bodies but with Allah with their hearts and souls. So be avid, my brother, to reach these realms in which you witness the greatness of Allah’s signs. This is to be achieved through inward and outward purity and protecting one’s limbs from committing acts of disobedience. If the slave uses his limbs in the service of his Lord, Allah will protect him from Shaytan: truly you (Iblis) have no power over My slaves. Fulfil the rights of your parents, your relatives, your spouse, your children, your neighbours and all the people of la ilaha ill’Allah. Observe the prayer, for in the prayer you give greetings to all the pious slaves of Allah. Thus whoever neglects the prayer neglects the rights of all the people of la ilaha ill’Allah. Perform the sunnas and the adhkar pertaining to the prayer, because every pious action entails a specific reward and a specific divine gift and connection. Whoever pleases his lord through serving Him, seeks to draw close to Him by obeying His commands and realises that he is a slave whose role it is to stand at the door, Allah will enshroud him with the cloak of His love and bring him close until “I become the hearing with which he hears, the vision with which he sees… ”Seek constantly the descent of Allah’s mercy through calling upon Him in a state of brokenness and lowliness, as nothing is more conducive to bringing forth His mercy than the slave’s recognition of His own weakness, and Allah is more merciful to His slaves than a mother is to her child. You are required to fulfil the rights of Allah and the rights of His slaves and this is only possible firstly by seeking the assistance of Allah and secondly by organising your time so that you give every individual his or her right. Fulfil the rights of the people of la ilaha ill’Allah by attending funerals, visiting the sick and assisting the helpless. Treat them in the best possible way, as you would love to be treated, because mercy entails mercy and “those who show mercy are shown mercy by the All-Merciful.” Al-Habib `Abd al-Qadir continued his da’wa in the Hijaz, travelling between Jeddah and the Sacred Sanctuaries, spreading the knowledge and mercy that he had inherited from his grandfather, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Towards the end of his die illness confined him to his house but did not prevent him from receiving numerous visitors. He finally responded to the call of His Lord before Fajr on 19th Rabi’ Thani 1431/4th April 2010. The funeral prayer was the same night in the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. May Allah shower him in mercy and raise him to the highest of ranks in Paradise. May we continue to benefit by this great Imam.
