Habib Muhammad bin ʿAbdullah ʿAlī al-ʿAydarus is among the prominent
scholars and callers to Allah of his generation in Tarim, Yemen. He carries
a long inheritance of teaching, daʿwah and spiritual nurturing from the
masters of Dār al-Mustafa, where he today serves as a lecturer and
Superintendent of the Department of Daʿwah.
He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Islamic Jurisprudence and Law from the
Faculty of Sharīʿah at Al-Aḥqāf University, and has served as an imam and
lecturer in the town of al-Shiḥr, and as Superintendent of Abū Maryam
Centre for the Memorisation of the Holy Qur'an in Tarim. He is a regular
contributor to conferences, radio and television programmes promoting
sacred knowledge and the call to Allah.
“Knowledge is light. The intellect is the lamp through which that light
travels into the heart, and the heart is what was made to know the One
who created it.”
This July marks his third visit to Australia, returning to Sydney by the
gracious hosting of Shifa Institute.
During this short visit he will offer daily lessons, evening sittings, and
gatherings of remembrance, open to brothers and sisters of all ages and
backgrounds.
Habib Muhammad is also the author of several works on the inner sciences,
including studies on Ramaḍān, ʿumrah and ziyārah, the etiquettes of
daʿwah, and most recently his treatise Māhiyatul ʿAql,
The Essence of the Intellect, which forms the spine of his
after-Fajr lessons during this visit.
