SHEIKH BABIKIR AHMED BABIKIR is a well respected Islamic scholar, teacher and public speaker.

Sheikh Babikir was born in Sudan. He descends in lineage from Sayyiduna al-‘Abbas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib (رضي الله عنه) through his father and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (رضي الله عنه) through his mother.

Sheikh Babikir completed his studies of traditional Islamic Sciences under many great Scholars and Sheikhs of Africa and the Middle East. He studied, through authentic chains of transmission, the sciences of Tafsir (exegesis), Aqida (theology), Hadith (prophetic tradition), Seerah (the life and way the Prophet ﷺ), Maliki Fiqh (jurisprudence), Ta’wil-ahadith (dream interpretation) and Tasawwuf (sufism). As a young man, he was initiated into the Sammaniya tariqa (sufi order) and later, he was granted the most honourable Ijaza (authorisation) of becoming a spiritual guide by the grand-sage Sheikh al-Fatih Qaribullah (رحمه الله). He went on to receive Ijazas from other spiritual luminaries such as Sheikh Salih al-Jaʿfari (رحمه الله), Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqani (رحمه الله) and Sheikh Muhammad ibn `Alawi al-Maliki (رحمه الله). A sign of his rare prestige is the Ijaza he has received from many renowned scholars in Dalial al-Khayrat, a book of Remembrance of Blessings upon the Chosen Prophet ﷺ.

Arriving in Britain in 1977, Sheikh Babikir has been working hard to promote Islam’s spiritual message in the UK. He began organising programs at London Central Mosque in Regent’s Park, and in Muslim Welfare House in North London, where he first met His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The Sheikh served for some time as a member of the board for Mosaic (a charity founded by the Prince of Wales) at the request of His Highness.

Upon settling in London, Sheikh Babikir was instructed by his Sheikh, Sheikh al-Fatih Qaribullah (رحمه الله), to serve as a teacher and guide. He completed a B.Ed degree in Mathematics at Greenwich University as well as a Certificate in Personnel Management and Diploma in Administrative Management.

Sheikh Babikir is the Director and Founder of Rumi’s Cave, a vibrant community hub in North-West London, as well as Ulfa Aid, a global humanitarian relief charity. Loved by many for his warm manner and wise counsel, he continues to spread his message of compassion and mercy with an unmistakable charm across the UK and abroad.

JUN 28/2012 :: A clip from the weekly gathering of Celebrating The Beloved at SeekersHub Toronto [http://SeekersHub.org], of Nader Khan [http://naderkhan.com] singing the Urdu Naat, "I stand silently in the court of Mustafa" [Main chup khada hua hün darbar-e-Mustafa mein].

This was originally rendered by my favourite Naat reciter, Ustadh Khursheed Ahmad.  From a recording of his rendition, the poet seems to be someone named "Ejaz", but I'm not sure of a last name.  If someone can educate me on that, I'd very much appreciate it.

My apologies for not uploading something for a while - preparing for, and receiving a new baby girl had kept me busy.  Insha'Allah, I'll try to be more regular with sharing more recordings.

The Darul Qasim Anthem
 
Performed by Ali Keeler Lyrics by Javeed Chida Inspired by Shaykh Mohammed Amin Kholwadia 

We come, these weary travelers
To sit beneath the willow shade
The journey may be long, but who
Can wither an intention made

We rest against the willow trunk
And feel the fall of willow leaf
The journey may be long, but how
Can hardship pass without relief

The air is Qāsimiyy
Our feet are on the shore
Before a sea of knowledge, we
Are in the quest for more
In the quest for more

The splendid life of our nabī
Embodying the Word Serene
Who molded hearts that came to be
The Khulafāʾ al-Rāshidīn

The brave companion in the cave
The one whose path the devil flees
Dhu al-nūr’ayn and all wisdom’s gate
O Allah, with them all be pleased

The air is Qāsimiyy
Our feet are on the shore
Before a sea of knowledge, we
Are in the quest for more
In the quest for more

They used the ink of taqwā, the
Companions and Tābiʿīn
Compiling all the knowledge heard
In books the world had never seen

The four madhāhib: pathways paved
That span the wretched woods of life
Illuminated by the lamps
Imām al-Aʿẓam set alight

The air is Qāsimiyy
Our feet are on the shore
Before a sea of knowledge, we
Are in the quest for more
In the quest for more

Our hearts are hardened by the winds
Of shamelessness and vanity
How can we bear the weight of sins
And stay afloat upon the sea

We look up to the stars that shine
And guide us through the stormy night:
The works of Shāh ʿAbdul ʿAzīz
Waliyullāhī shining bright

The air is Qāsimiyy
Our feet are on the shore
Before a sea of knowledge, we
Are in the quest for more
In the quest for more

The blood and toil of Shaykh al-Hind
That burned a flame Nanautavī
And stood a nation firm against
The ruthless whip of tyranny

The works of Anwar Shāh Kashmirī
Like the rains of knowledge pour
Upon the thirsty seeker blessed
With patience in the quest for more

The air is Qāsimiyy
Our feet are on the shore
Before a sea of knowledge, we
Are in the quest for more
In the quest for more

We bear the harvest to the mills
Of Ṣarf and Naḥw grind the grains
We purify the flour till
A meal of benefit remains

By day and night we bake this bread
And serve it to them at the door
Who eat from this prophetic spread
And never cease to quest for more

The air is Qāsimiyy
Our feet are on the shore
Before a sea of knowledge, we
Are in the quest for more
In the quest for more

Remember how the Makkans sought
An arbiter to ease the stone
Into its designated spot:
They trusted al-Amīn alone

This house of Qāsim is a trust
Unto Amīn whose every breath
Reminds our hearts, preparing us
To be of those surviving death

The air is Qāsimiyy
Our feet are on the shore
Before a sea of knowledge, we
Are in the quest for more
In the quest for more
