Re: Who was he?
Peace sister @redvelvet
Shaykh Hamza Yusuf was the door that led me to Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi … Shaykh Yaqoubi is my Shaykh, I took bayah with him on 30th June 2009 to join the Shadhili Tariqah.
Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi is a teacher of Shaykh Gibril and Shaykh Hamza. He is a Hasani Sharif. Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi is probably one of a few people now who is an ocean of knowledge and can recite many books by heart, he has a very extensive memory mashaAllah and deep understanding. People from all paths have sat in his classes to learn Arabic and Islamic theology. He is arguably one of the most vocal of the ulema against Bashar Al-Assad.
