"A VISIT TO AL-MUHAJIR" Dowra Diaries 2019 (pt 5)

We had the honor of visiting Ribat just outside Tarim. And the grave of the great al Muhajir. Ahmed bin Issa. the first descendent of the Prophet to settle in Tarim Hadramawt. He is al-Imam al-Muhajir il-Allah Ahmad, bin `Isa, bin Muhammad al-Naqib, bin `Ali al-`Uraydi, bin Ja`far al-Sadiq, bin Muhammad al-Baqir, bin `Ali Zayn al-`Abidin, bin Husayn al-Sibt, bin `Ali bin Abi Talib and Fatimah al-Zahra’, the daughter of our Master Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets ﷺ. He was born in al-Basrah, Iraq, around 273 (886). He grew up under the supervision of his parents in an environment surrounded by scholars and living examples of prophetic character. He memorised the Qur’an and then mastered the sciences of the Sacred Law. He left al-Basrah in 317 with his wife, his son, `Abdullah (who out of his humility preferred to be known as `Ubaydullah or “the small servant of Allah”), and `Ubaydullah’s sons, Jadid, Basri, and `Alawi. With them also was Sharif Muhammad bin Sulayman, the grandfather of the Ahdal family and Sharif Ahmad al-Qudaymi, the grandfather of the Qudaymi family, and a group of 70 people.
