As salaam alaikum wa rahmatullah,

Inshallah, I will be travelling to Makkah and Madeenah between the 28th April and the 5th May. I wanted to know if there are any well known or not so well known Awliyaa that I can approach for Dua' and perhaps Ruqyaa (Ta'weez etc).

Anyone?

Yes , a good number of Sufi shaykhs live in those holy cities. But , due to the political reasons , I think, they keep a low profile. I mean, you should not find them openly conducting zikr sessions in mosques there.

So , you have to be really serious to meet them. Do you speak Arabic ? Or Urdu ?

The shafi'i faqih, Habib Zayn b. Sumait prays at the masjid al-Quba, and visits the Baqi' daily . . . If you could meet him, that would be amazing, hafizahuLlah.

Is he a Sufi shaykh ? If so , what is his spiritual lineage ?

Try meeting Hadrat Mawlana Faruq sahib in Makkah.

[Aluback]

Sheikh Makki Al-hijazi. He will be giving dars after maghrib in masjid alharam itself.

Also Mawlana Abd al Hafiz Makki sahib..

countless people really there mashaAllah, bilad al Haramain are full of mashayikh and ulama and awliya.

[Tndfpcin]

Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Akhtar Sahib's (db) son, Hazrat Maulana Shah Hakeem Mazhar Sahib (db) will be there from Karachi, Pakistan too inshaAllah. He is going to be there on a trip for 'Umrah and I am sure you will be able to find him by asking around. The Shaykh has khilafat from Hazrat Maulana Abrarul Haq Sahib Hardoi (ra), who was a khalifa of Hazrat Maulana Ashrafi Ali Thanwi (ra).

Same issue was discussed in this thread.

Even if there are a good number of Sufi shaykhs in Makkah and Medinah, you will not track them easily. If someone related to a sufi shakh is living there , then that guy can help a visitor to meet that saint.
However, since this forum is a open forum and can be visited by anti-Sufi people living in Saudi Arabia
, I do not like to post the actual contact information of those mureeds connected to the sufi shaykhs.

Alhamdulillah, I can speak moderately well in both languages.

@seeker_ikb: You don't have to be a 'sufi shaykh' to be a wali. You seem to be a little obsessed with the formalities of tasawwuf Anyhow, Habib Zayn is a sufi Shaykh, and he has studied with the top Ba 'Alawi scholars (who were both fuqaha and sufiyyah) of his time i.e. Mufti of Tarim al-Habib Muhammad b. Salim b. Hafiz and al-Habib 'Alawi b. 'AbduLlah b. Shihab ad-Din. He taught alongside al-Habib Muhammad al-Haddar in al-Bayda' during the troubles in hadramawt, as well as al-Habib Salim b. 'AbduLlah b. Umar ash-Shatiri (another top figure of the Ba 'Alawis) in his Ribat in Madinah for 11 years. al-Habib 'Umar b. Hafiz was one of his students during his time at al-Bayda' . . . All the shaykhs he studied with whom I have mentioned are Sufi shaykhs and have multiple chains in tarbiyah going back to the messenger of Allah sallaLlahu 'alayhi wa alihi wa sallam, as well as all being sayyids, some of whom have what's known as the golden chain (like Habib Muhammad b. Hafiz), where every one of their fathers was a hafiz al-qur'an, 'alim and sayyid.

Not really obsessed , rather cautious.

Since there is a bitter history of fake and semi-fake , half-baked and quarter-baked wali in the Muslim world , we should be really careful while apporaching a man known as a wali or sufi-shaykh among the people.

salam, i am fortunate to be presently residing in madinatul munnawwara. there are many pious people whom i have got to know but there are many more gems who hide themselves and do not reveal. theres the famous hanafi syrian shaykh muhammad awwaamah hafizahullah, who at present is ill. theres also molana ismail badat, abdus sattar afghani al-hanafi and many more. if you search you will find the gems.

The people who have strong desire will search those gems . But , many go to those places for one or two weeks and in that short time ,its quite difficult to find these people unless he has prior information.

Its quite strange that in the West you can openly conduct zikr majlis or sufi gathering
in the mosques. But , you cannot do it at mosques in Saudi Arabia !!!
