About The Book

Spirituality in Islam has always been strongly connected to the descendants of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ . This book tells the story of a major branch of Ahl al Bayt or House of Prophecy, the Ba‘Alawis of Southern Yemen.

Their tradition of scholarship and sanctity has produced countless great men of God over the centuries and still does. Their biographies clearly demonstrate their pattern of spiritual achievement, which is of the utmost importance to every contemporary seeker of nearness to the Divine Presence.
