This beautiful Hadra of the Shadhili-Darqawi order of the Saint, Shaykh ‘Abdur Rahman al-Shaghouri (May Allah sanctify his secret), has been captivating me since I found it on YouTube. It’s too beautiful. Also, nearing the end of the video, Shaykh ‘Abdur Rahman himself appears in the video. Just by looking at him leaves one in awe.

Here’s the video (if you shed a tear or two while watching this, it’s perfectly understandable):

Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller (Shaykh ‘Abdur Rahman’s student) wrote an obituary of this Saint here. I remember receiving news of his death while I was in Tarim, Yemen. Although I’ve never met him before, my heart broke when I heard the news. May Allah bless us with the knowledge he taught.

It’s been about a month since we moved to our new place. Alhamdulillah, we managed to get Habib Abbas As-Saqqaf and his students to come over and do the Mawlid An-Nabi for us.

Here’s a short video of the Qiyam part of the Mawlid:

Thanks to my mom and the rest of my family and in-laws for helping out with the food and stuff. May Allah bless them all.
