Shaykh Ibrahim Niaase was born on 15 Rejab. On the same date he returned to Allah in 1975. He build a city in Kaolack, Senegal that we know today as “Medina Baye”. The blessed city became the door to those who yearn to be truly awakened to love the Prophet ﷺ inwardly and outwardly. The city that makes those who love the prophet ﷺ lost his or her bad desire inheriting the reality of the prophet ﷺ. The city in which the zawiyah became a mosque that attract a million lives around the world. They travel long, far & near for nothing except to worship Allah, the way how those who love the Prophet ﷺ worship Allah, having no desire except everything for Allah.
Shaykh Ibrahim said “Everyone has their own Layla and my Layla is the prophet ﷺ”. What is hidden wont be unveiled except to those who seek and yearn for its divine purpose. How can it be that Medina Baye is so far away from Europe and Asia and yet the love of the prophet ﷺ & Allah has no barrier and distance. This is the uniqueness on the methodology of shaykh Ibrahim Niaase to spiritually train every murid and transmit his love of the prophet ﷺ to every murid. Shaykh Ibrahim said ““Whenever i have a problem, i praise the Prophet (ﷺ) . Then he will offer me what is beyond the thought of the creation”
Those who seek will get what they desire. If you seek with the Prophet ﷺ, be with the one whose heart contain the love of the prophet buried in them. Shaykh Ibrahim said “He, ﷺ is the sun, only his light covers all things. He ﷺ is the rain, indeed, continually pouring."
Al fatiha to sohibul faydah, Shaykh Ibrahim Niaase.
