The Last Year of the Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Habib

Sheikh Muhammad ibn Habib brought the full force of 19th century Sufism in all its rigor and purity into the 20th century. The power of the light from these men could be almost unbearable for the self-absorbed novice accustomed to the modern world, writes Hamza Yusuf. Morabatul Hajj would appear to many in modern society to be a primitive, a simple bedouin living in a tent,. Yet his spiritual, emotional and intellectual development should compel us to question our own civilization when compared to desert culture that produced him.
