Muhammad Abul Huda al-Yaqoubi (
Early life and background
Al-Yaqoubi was born in
Al-Yaqoubi is a descendant of the Islamic prophet
Education
Al-Yaqoubi's father took care of his upbringing, and he was both his teacher and spiritual master. His father gave him several
Al-Yaqoubi also received training from his father in Sufism, until he attained qualification as a murshid and the rank of a spiritual master in the Sufi tradition.[4][6]
Al-Yaqoubi has also received ijazat from prominent scholars of Syria including: the Maliki Mufti of Syria, Makki al-Kittani; the Hanafi Mufti of Syria, Muhammad Abul Yusr Abidin; Ali al-Boudaylimi of Tlemcen, Abdul Aziz Uyun al-Sud, Salih al-Khatib,[3] Zayn al-'Abideen at-Tounisi, Muhammad Wafa al-Qassaaband and Abd al-Rahman al-Shaghouri of Damascus.[citation needed]
In 1987, al-Yaqoubi completed a degree in
In 1991, he joined the PhD program of linguistics in the Oriental Studies Department of the University of Gothenburg.[8] In Sweden, he worked as a researcher and teacher of Arabic literature.[8] In 1999, the Swedish Islamic Society appointed him mufti of Sweden.[7] Al-Yaqoubi is "fluent in several languages including Arabic, English, and Swedish" [3][9] and sacred knowledge organisation states that he has trained several hundreds of scholars, imams and preachers [3][9]
Career
Al-Yaqoubi started teaching Qur'an studies and recitation at the Darwishiyya Mosque at the age of 11. He delivered his first Friday sermon at the age of 14 at al-Saadaat Mosque, was appointed as Friday Imam and speaker (Khatib) at the age of 17 and was appointed as a teacher of Islamic studies at the age of 20.[3]
In the mid-2000s, al-Yaqoubi returned to Syria and began preaching and teaching the Islamic sciences such as
Al-Yaqoubi previously resided in Damascus and was a public teacher at institutions there. He taught Islamic theology at the Umayyad Mosque; and he held the position of
Al-Yaqoubi is currently writing, publishing new works and continuing to teach under Sacred Knowledge, an initiative dedicated to the spreading of orthodox Islam.[10]
Involvement in the Syrian Civil War 2011–present
In April 2011, al-Yaqoubi was one of the first Sunni clerics to express his support for the Syrian uprising and condemn the Syrian government's response to peaceful demonstrations.[7][11] In August 2011, the BBC reported that al-Yaqoubi had called for more international pressure on the government of Syria after Government forces renewed their crackdown on protesters.[12] He was forced into exile in 2011.
Despite other leading scholars initially calling for minor reforms, al-Yaqoubi was early to demand the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad.[13]
Al-Yaqoubi initially fully supported Kofi Annan's "Six-point plan" urging for "international pressure on Russia and China" to force the end of the conflict in Syria.[14]
As the conflict has protracted, al-Yaqoubi publicly urged Jordan and Turkey to intervene militarily in Syria "to save the Syrian people", voicing frustration at the failure of the international community to intervene.[14] In addition, he believes that any intervention will be undertaken by the United Nations, NATO, or the United States because it's "more realistic".[15]
Al-Yaqoubi has been an active participant in the political process to form a credible political alternative to the Assad government. However, due to political intrigue, his appointment to be a full member of the Syrian National Council was blocked almost as soon as it was to be formally confirmed.[16]
Since the start of the Syrian uprising, al-Yaqoubi has campaigned internationally to provide humanitarian aid for Syrian refugees. In December 2012, he led a convoy for the delivery of "vast quantities of food, baby food and blankets" to displaced Syrians in Turkey.[17]
Consequently, he fled the country after the Syrian regime tried to silence him[18] after he publicly criticised the ruling Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party,[19] calling on the president to step down[20] and supporting the Syrian uprising.[19] He is currently in exile in Morocco, helping to deliver humanitarian aid, and is in regular contact with Syrian fighters who consult him on the moral and spiritual issues raised by their struggle.[18] After his exile from Syria, he has taken part in a sustained international effort to provide aid for the Syrian people. He has publicly urged the international community to "implement help immediately"[21] and to "lift the siege" on Syria in an interview with Sky News.[14]
In August 2013, al-Yaqoubi said he wants the Free Syrian Army (FSA) to open a register in which fighters, civilians and administrators can be organized and given an identification number. He also thinks there should be recruitment centers in major towns and cities in the Middle East to pre-empt individual efforts, where those who want to fight can be vetted and trained under the FSA 's supervision.[18]
In September 2014, al-Yaqoubi co-signed an open letter to
Views
On 24 January 2010, al-Yaqoubi refuted the comments made by Mufti of Syria
On 21 June 2010, al-Yaqoubi declared on Takbeer TV's programme Sunni Talk that the Mujaddid of the Indian subcontinent was Ahmed Raza Khan, and said that a follower of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah can be identified by his love of Khan, and that those outside of that those outside the Ahlus Sunnah are identified by their attacks on him.[26]
On 18 August 2011, al-Yaqoubi led prayers from a stage in Summerfield Park, Winson Green, Birmingham to some 20,000 people who gathered to remember three men killed while attempting to protect their neighbourhood from rioters and looters during the England riots. At the ceremony he said that "they made themselves an example of what a Muslim should be and what Islam is"[27] and that "these three people are martyrs and the best we can do for them is to pray for them and for ourselves - to pray for our community."[28][29][30] He asked for 18 August to be made a "day not of mourning and sadness but a day of bravery."<[31]
Al-Yaqoubi had been a critic of
In August 2013, al-Yaqoubi said: "Animosity against a state cannot be declared by individuals or groups; no Islamic government is in a state of war with the UK; they all have diplomatic relations and therefore, any attack against UK citizens or interests would be deemed as un-Islamic and illegal in the Shari’a, regardless of whether we approve of UK policies or not, or its government".[18]
