Continuing TARIH OF SHEIKH MUHAMMED AL-HAFIS AL-MISRI AL-TIJANI THE 12TH KHALIFA OF SHEIKH TIJANI R.T.A. ( SWAHIBUL HADITH ) Shaykh al-Hafiz al-Tijani passed away in 1398 (1978) in Cairo. He was succeeded by his learned son Shaykh Ahmad Muhammad al-Hafiz, who authored a detailed biography of his father. Among those who were blessed to achieve spiritual education at the hands of Shaykh Muhammad al- Hafiz was the Italian Shaykh Abd al-Samad Paolo, who has translated and commented several important Sufi works (amongst them the Kitab al-ta‘arruf of Kalabadhi and the Mahasin al-majalis of Ibn al-‘Arif) into Italian. Shaykh Muhammad al-Hafiz was indeed a giant of the twentieth century. May Allah be pleased with him, and may we benefit from his example, steeped as he was in both the Sacred Law (Shari’a ) and the Divine realities ( Haqiqa), as a paradigm of true Muslim scholarship continuing into modern times.
