Muhammad ibn Alawi al-Maliki (1944–2004) was a Sunni (Sufi) Islamic scholar from Saudi Arabia. He has been recognised as the Mujaddid of 20th-21st century^[1]^[2]

Life[]

Family background[]

Muhammad ibn Alawi al-Maliki was born in Mecca to a family of well known scholars who, like himself, taught in the Sacred Mosque.^[3]

Education[]

With his father’s instruction, he also studied and mastered the various traditional Islamic sciences of Aqidah (Islamic theology), Tafsir (Qur'anic exegesis), Hadith (Prophetic tradition), Seerah (Prophetic biography), Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), Usul (origins and fundamentals), Mustalah (hadith terminology), Nahw (Arabic grammar), etc. Scholars of Mecca, as well as Medina, all of whom granted him full Ijazah (certification) to teach these sciences to others. Some of the scholars from whom he obtained ijazahs and chains of transmission from include: His father, al-Sayyid 'Alawi ibn 'Abbas al-Maliki al-Hasani, as-Sayyid al-Habib Ahmad Mashhur TaHa al-Haddad, Shaikh Hasanain Makhlouf, Muhammad Hafidh al-Tijani, Amin Kutbi, Mustafa Raza Khan, and numerous others.^[4]

Career[]

Regardless of criticisms against 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.^[5]

Death[]

He died in 2004 and was buried in Mecca. After his death, Saudi dignitaries made condolence visits to his family.^[6] Crown Prince 'Abd Allah (the future king) was quoted as stating that al-Maliki "was faithful both to his religion and country"^[7] as one western journalist noted, "the rehabilitation of his legacy was almost complete."^[8]

Literary Works[]

Al-Maliki has written on a variety of religious, legal, social and historical topics.
