History
Al-Harariyy was born in 1910 in Harar, Ethiopia.[1]
In 1983, he founded Al-Ahbash, a Beirut-based organization also known as the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects (AICP).[2] Al-Ahbash is a Sufi religious movement[3] which runs Islamic schools affiliated with Cairo's Al-Azhar University.[4] Due to the group’s origins and activity in Lebanon, the Ahbash have been described as the “activist expression of Lebanese Sufism.”[5]
Al-Harariyy was one of the Ulama signatories of the Amman Message. Issued in 2004, the statement gives a broad foundation for defining Muslim orthodoxy.[6]
In terms of tariqa, Al-Harariyy was affiliated with Qadiriyya orders in Jerusalem, Damascus and Beirut.[7] He was also licensed as a Shaykh by Al-Azhar University's branch in Lebanon.[5][8]
Al-Harariyy died of natural causes on September 2, 2008, aged 98.[2]
