Al-Sayyid Muhammad al-Hasan bin ‘Alawi bin ‘Abbas bin ‘Abd al-‘Aziz (1944–2004), also known as Muhammad ibn Alawi al-Maliki, was one of the foremost traditional
Islamic scholar of contemporary times from Saudi Arabia.[2] He is considered to be the Mujaddid of 20th-21st century.[3][4]
Life
Family background
The Maliki family is one of the most respected families in Mecca and has produced great scholars who taught in the Haram of Mecca for centuries. In fact, five of the Sayyid's ancestors have been the Maliki
Education
With his father's instruction, he also studied and mastered the various traditional Islamic sciences of
Mustafa Raza Khan, and numerous others.[7]
Career
Despite criticism of him, al-Maliki retained prominence. In an attempt to counter Wahabism in the early 1990s, the
Government of Saudi Arabia began supporting practitioners of Sufism in the Hijaz region as a way to bolster religious support of the state; al-Maliki became the self-imposed leader of Hijazi Sufism under state sponsorship, with several thousand supporters.[8]
Death
He died in 2004 and was buried in Mecca. After his death, Saudi dignitaries made condolence visits to his family.[9] Crown Prince 'Abd Allah (the future king) was quoted as stating that al-Maliki "was faithful both to his religion and country"[10] as one western journalist noted, "the rehabilitation of his legacy was almost complete."[11]
Literary works
Al-Maliki has written on a variety of religious, legal, social and historical topics.
