The scholarly ijazah given by Sidi Moulay Al Hadj

Sayyid Syarif Muhammad Amine Al Hasani is not only recognized among scholars and intellectuals at the school and university levels but is also highly esteemed by the ulama and saints.

One of these esteemed figures is Sidi Muhammad Allali, also known as "Moulay Al Hadj" Al Alawi Al Sali Al Tasfawi. He is a renowned Sharif and respected scholar, as well as a great saint from Taouat, a blessed place in North Africa known for producing scholars and saints, similar to Tarim. He has testified to the noble character and scholarly contributions of Sayyid Mohamed Amin Al Hasani, who is deeply respected by all levels of society, through the granting of his scholarly ijazah.

The scholarly ijazah given by Sidi Moulay Al Hadj is specifically for the Sayyid, serving as a testament to his recognition of Sayyid Mohamed’s capability to disseminate the teachings of hadith and various other disciplines to the broader community and ummah.

This recognition has indeed elevated the status of Sayyid Mohamed to a higher level. Notably, this acknowledgment comes from saints and beloved ones of Allah, who possess a deeper understanding and knowledge of Sayyid’s character and scholarship.

Among the contents of the translated poem written by Sidi Moulay Al Hadj for the Sayyid we honor—gentle in nature, pure in heart, and noble in character—Sayyid Mohamed Al-Amin bin Sayyid Al-Hamid, the grandson of Sidi Abdul Salam Al-Uraj Al-Mashishi Al-Idrisi Al-Fassi Al-Maghribi, are these words:

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.

Praise be to Allah for all His blessings that have enveloped and protected us. May His mercy pour forth and His light shine, as guidance and upon our leader Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him and his family, as well as all who follow him.

Indeed, when our beloved and respected companion, Muhammad al-Idrisi al-Maghribi al-Fassi, sought permission to establish circles of knowledge and dhikr in his land, due to his constant love and prayers, and I witnessed the qualifications bestowed upon him by the Most Merciful Allah, I gave him that priority, to establish these gatherings of knowledge and dhikr with prayers as practiced, whether from the Companions or from every sincere individual who has a vested interest in them, along with advice, guidance, and preparation for the Day of Judgment.

I also granted him permission to give lectures and sermons in any gathering, explaining legal rulings without any issues of factual discrepancies or criticism.

May Allah guide him on the right path, grant him understanding of the Qur’an and the traditions of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and suffice him with knowledge and future insights, protecting and preserving him with wisdom that fills the hearts of seekers of knowledge without any ulterior motives, for those who desire it.

He adorned himself with piety and acceptance,
And Allah made his gatherings beneficial, raising their ranks.
He drew hearts to him, longing to hear his words,
And by listening, though the night was covered, Allah revealed His truth.
With that, he attained this position for the period allowed by Allah.

The ijazah, with its beautiful verses written in a rhythm that holds deep meaning, becomes special as it was directly recited by the prominent scholar and the Noble Saint.

With the blessings of the Noble Teacher, the Sayyid steps into a larger arena, not only in the African continent but also in Asia.
