ʿABDULLĀḤ ʾIBN ʿALAWĪ AL-ḤADDĀD: LIFE AND CONTRIBUTIONS WITH
SPECIAL REFERENCE TO RISĀLAT ʾĀDĀB SULŪK -MURĪD
There are many Sufis and Islamic scholars in our world. They all
propagated the holy Islam through their spiritual life and valuable life style.
Yemen is the land of several Sufi traditions which famed through the birth of
many Sufis and scholars and emergence of many Sufi orders especially the Bā Álawī
Sufi order which was started by Ahmad Esa. Many Sufis of this order propagate
Islam throughout the world.
One of famous Bā Álawī Sufis ʿAbdullāh ʾIbn Álawī Al-Ḥaddād (1044
H- 1132 H) played a good and functional role in the propagation of Islam by his
spiritual power. He was known as the reviver (mujaddid) of 12th
century. He has written many famous books such as: Risālat al-Muʿāwanat, al-Naṣāʾih al-Dīniyyat wa al-Waṣāyā al-ʾĪmāniyyat, al-Daʾwat al-Tāmat wa tadhkirat al-ʿĀmat,
Fusūl al-ʿIlmiyyat, Sabīl al-ʾIddikār, Risālat al-Mudhākirat, risālat Ādāb sulūk al-Murīd, Kitāb al-Hikam, Itihāf sāʾil,
Nafāʾis al-Alawiyyat fi Masāʾil
al-Sūfiyyat, Dhurr al-Manzūm li dhawī al-Uqūl wa al-Fuhūm. And he founded some spiritual litanies like: wird latif,
ratib shahriyyat (ratib haddad).
His life and immense contributions to the Islamic world need more
attention in the curve of academic field. This research is an effort to make a
voyage through the unexpired horizons of his life and contributions with
special focus on one of his works ʾĀdāb sulūk -Murīd which describes the
conduct of a Sufi disciple.
The researcher intends to study on ʿAbdullāh ʾIbn Álawī Al-Haddād life
and contributions as he is a famous Sufi scholar of Yemen who has contributed a
lot in to the field of Tasawwuf, Tareeqat and spiritual science but was
neglected in the current Sufi studies. The research focuses on his famous work ʾĀdāb
sulūk -Murīd as it is a comprehensive treatise on conduct of Sufi disciple
and it includes his views in Tareeqat and Tasawwuf.
