THE
LAST JOURNEY OF SHAYKH IBRAHIM NIASSE (RTA) - PART 1
{FROM KAOLACK,
TO DAKAR}

The last journey of Shaykh al-Islam, Alhaji
Ibrahim Niass took place in the year June 1975 corresponding to Jumada thani of
the year 1395 AH.
He informed his household that he wanted to
travel briefly abroad to London. At that time he was 75 years old, and had a
pending surgery which he felt was time for him to attend to.

Shaikh Ibrahim Niasse had with his family before embarking on the Journey |
Apart from that, the travel will give him
opportunity to enjoy the cooler London weather.
So he instructed Kabir Faye, his regular
travel companion to pack the essential travel utilities. Kabir Faye who had
been used to carrying along the Shaykh's main kanash (bound volumes of prayer
formulae), which normally make the baggages heavy, since he may not know which
of these documents may be called for, by Shaykh.

(Gambian Muqadam of Shaykh Ibrahim Niass) |
However, on this occasion, his master, seeing
him piling up the travel luggage remarked: "Oh Kabir Faye! Were you to
realize what heavier loads or burden you will be charged with on our return
journey, you will need no one to tell you not to labour yourself with any heavy
load in this our impending journey"!
This kind of remarks coming from Shaykh al-Islam
had a lasting impact on his soul, hence he cut short the size of luggage he
initially intended to carry.
As was usual, many of his other sons and mureeds
wanted to go with him, but Shaykh declined their offer on the excuse that the
voyage was a short one.
To many of his elder children and muqadams,
he sent them on errands to various part of the Africa continent.
However some very few escorted him up to
Dakar before embarking on their trip.
His son, Shaykh Ahmad Tijani stayed with him
for three days in Dakar and his father (Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse) discussed many
important matters with him.
On reaching Dakar, he gave some awraad
(litanies) to Kabir and granted him idhni/permission of three days khalwah
(seclusion to chant the supreme names of Allah, in the manner prescribed by
shaykh).
He also had many people who paid him Ziyaraah.
Ziyaarah connotes visit to men of Allah in order to benefit from their presence,
and seek spiritual benevolence.
(After the three days spent at Dakar)…they
then set out, just Shaykh Ibrahim Niass and Kabir Faye.

{FROM DAKAR, TO
THE LONDON HOSPITAL}

At the conclusion of the special prayer,
Shaykh boarded a flight to London, disembarking at the Heathrow Airport,
terminal 1 in London.
He was immediately conveyed straight to St.
Thomas Hospital, the destination of his travel. Prior to leaving home, necessary
arrangements had been finalized for admission into the hospital.
When the Head of State of the Republic of
Ghana; His Exellency Dr. Kwame Nkrumah got message from Shaykh, someone to whom
he was well acquainted, he sent his own personal physician, Doctor Maltin.

Ghana), with his personal physician (Doctor Maltin) and Sheikh Ibrshim Niasse |
When the doctor heard of Shaykh's aliments,
he recommended a specialist physician in London and assured Shaykh of his
expertise and the high vote of confidence he had in his professional acumen as
a surgical doctor.
Hence, necessary contacts were ensured and
admission formalities made prior to setting out. This was why Shaykh was taken
straight to the said hospital.
By the beginning of the second phase of the
journey, Kabir Faye had long sitting sessions with Shaykh, who was telling him
many matters unknown to him and which started sending feelings to him that his
master is gradually bidding the world farewell.
Otherwise, how could Shaykh be talking about
the reality of death and after life?
|
Sheikh Ibrahim Niasse & Sheikh Kabir Faye |
This was despite his being in a very good
state of health and engaging himself in his normal daily prayer routine.
Two days before the death, he was scheduled
for the minor surgery, he asked Kabir Faye to connect him to one of his
students living in Tunisia by name Omar bin Khattab popularly called Khattab
Sokhna.
He overheard their conversations as Shaykh
asked him to sit by his side. After the greeting formalities Shaykh reminded
the man about a question he asked many years ago, when he was young.
Then, Khattab asked him if he was ever going
to die one day, to which Shaykh replied in the affirmative but that the time
was not yet due for that. Khattab said he remembered.
Shaykh then went further to say: now is the
time for that promise of Allah and that was why he called him, but that he will
like the man to come and visit him in London, in addition, he should get him an
elephant's tooth which he wants to present as a gift to his doctor.
Khattab confimed that he will immediately be
on his way to him. The operation was carried on the d-day and it was
successful. A couple of days later, Khattab came and he spent a whole day in
Shaykh's company. At the meeting, Shaykh re-iterated that all souls must die
and told Omar the day of the week and the time (of his passing away).
He also gave him many useful admonitions
which lasted a whole day. After his meeting with Shaykh, he felt he could not
wait further to see how the promise of Allah will come to pass over Shaykh,
hence with a heavy heart, asked for idhni/permission to go.
At that period of time, Hassan Cisse, a young
student in one education center in London, also made it a point of duty to visit
his grandfather daily, spending long hours with him in the company of Kabir
Faye and retiring home at night to come back the following day.

Also, during the same week, one of the close
khaadim (loyalist) of Shaykh in Kano, Nigeria in the person of Alhaji Uba Waru
dreamt and saw Shaykh who said he needed an elephant tooth to give as present.

LAST JOURNEY OF SHAYKH IBRAHIM NIASSE (RTA) - PART 3
{THE NIGERIAN
VISITORS AND THE FINAL PREPARATIONS}

Uba Waru was a gentleman of a noble origin.
His father Alhaaj Ibrahim Waru and mother Seyyidah Aisha Shettima known as Hajiah
Baba, came from a rich Islamic background.
At an early age, Uba Waru got to know Shaykh
Ibrahim Niasse and he immediately fell in love with him, vowing to be his
khaadim throughout his entire life.
|
Alhaji Uba Waru and Shaikh Aliu Cisse |
As a wealthy but humble personality, he was
known for his selfless Khidmah (selfless service) and hadiyahs (generosity) to the family of Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse
on regular basis. Annually, he used to send sixty people on Hajj and Umrah
trips to Makkah.
His close association with Shaykh earned him
his blessings to the point of marrying one of Shaykh's grand-daughter. After
many years, his daughter also got married to one of Shaykh's grandson.
His devotion to khidmah of Shaykh was such
that he was always in close touch with him, and receiving many written messages
from Shaykh.
Uba Waru was already aware that Shaykh had
travelled a few weeks back to London.
So, on waking up, he linked up with London
and told Shaykh on the telephone of his dream in order to get his idhni
(permission) before coming over to London.
Shaykh gave him the go ahead and confirmed
that he truly need the elephant's tooth. Shaykh further instructed him to come
in the company of his son, Shaykh Ahmad Tijani who was then in Lagos, Nigeria,
having been sent on some assignments the week his father was leaving Dakar.
Alhaji Uba Waru, went to Lagos from his home
in Kano and informed Shaykh Tijani who immediately arranged his travel papers
for a flight that will move from Lagos via Addis Ababa to Amsterdam, London.
However, at the last moment, there were
problems of documentations with the Nigerian Immigration which made Alhaji Ubu
Waru to travel alone to London. When he got to Shaykh, he asked where is Shaykh
Tijani?
Alhaji Uba Waru explained the immigration
impediments to which Shaykh-l-Islam remarked;
"WHAT A GOOD THING THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO
COME! FOR HAD HE COME WITH YOU? YOU WOULD HAVE LOST PEOPLE INSTEAD OF
ONE!"
Thereafter Shaykh collected the elephant's
tooth and prayed for him, also talking to him for hours on end. During the
third week, the Master had daily sessions with all the four people: Kabir Faye,
Hassan Cisse, Uba Waru and Umar bin Khattab Sokhna.
He asked Khattab to go and enquire at the
airport the flight schedules for the coming week, so as to get information
about the days of flight availability to Senegal from London. He came back with
the information that the British Airways flights will run twice a week the
first day being Monday and the second, mid-week. Shaykh asked him to go and
make a booking for coming Monday.
In addition, Uba Waru who was happy at seeing
Shaykh in good health and spirits and obviously unaware of the haal/condition
of Shaykh.
Kabir Faye and Uba Waru called the Ulamas of
Kano to send representative to London on Ziyaara/Visitation to Shaykh. So they
sent Mudi Salga and two other people. They came promptly and visited Shaykh.
After their usual ziyaarah they left.
“Around this time…Shaikh’s the core
ideological adversary in Nigeria (Alhaji Abubakar Gumi) had alleged that Shaikh
Ibrahim composed a poem of repentance to renounce his Tijani sufi membership.
So..Shaikh Sanni Awwal and some others were delegated by the Nigerian disciples
of Shaikh Ibrahim for clarification. Hence, the Shaikh replied with a letter titled
Risalatu tawbah (Epistle of Repentance)".
However the usual ziyaarah of Uba Waru
and Hassan continued daily till Friday. On Friday Shaykh asked Umar to procure
tickets for his return flight taking Hassan Cisse with him to deliver the
tickets because he was boarding his own flight that day to Zaire. On Friday of that
week, necessary preparations were made for the noon prayer after which Kabir
Faye was instructed to read some long awraads (litanies) for hours as has been
the norm these couple of weeks.
The Master also continued his set of litanies
and by night time, the two visiting guests left Shaykh as was the usual
practice leaving behind Kabir Faye once again, alone with his Master.
That same night, being the end of the week,
the doctor in charge came to bid Shaykh bye(farewell) for the weekend to his
residence in Cambridge, since there was no work on Saturday and his patient had
responded well to post-surgery care. After exchanging pleasantries, he left.
When no one except Kabir Faye was around,
Shaykh handed over his best perfume which he was using called al-kalin goma
(in Hausa dialect) and also asked Kabir to open their luggage and pull out a
white cloth. He asked these to be laid on one side of his ward.
Thereafter, he went into long explanations on
how the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was bathed when he departed this world. He
also instructed Kabir Faye to remain close to him during all his long
conversation.
At Fajr time, they prepared for Salat Subh
and Kabir Faye was asked this time to lead the prayers as Imam while he, Shaykh
will pray behind him. He told him to recite Ayat al-Kurisiyy after Suratul Fatiah
on the first rakah and to recite laqad ja'akum in the like manner on the second
rakah.
After the completion of the prayer, the
necessary awraads(litanies) were individually made. When it was getting close
to 8a.m, Kabir Faye was told to lend in setting him on his bed to take a rest.

{THE APPROACHING
HOUR}

Thereafter, Shaykh asked him (Kabir Faye) to
move very close to him in a manner that he was just at face' distance. He was
asked to recite some specified awraads. This took him for a couple of hours
until around 11 a.m.
Then he was instructed to move yet closer in
a manner that his master's breathing which had become more laboured could fan
his own face and his breathe was actually entering his nostrils.
He was asked to caress his upper arm in a
manner akin to a mother petting a child. He could hear clearly the recitals of
his Master and his voice was audible enough to hear him reciting the verses in
Surah Yunus chapter 10 verse 23 which went thus:
“The example of [this] worldly life is but
like rain which We have sent down from the sky that the plants of the earth
absorb - [those] from which men and livestock eat - until, when the earth has
taken on its adornment and is beautified and its people suppose that they have
capability over it, there comes to it Our command by night or by day, and We
make it as a harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do We explain
in detail the signs for a people who give thought.”
This was heard to this point when his Master
stopped and indicated to him to reply to his raised affirmation thus:
LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH, to which he chorused
with his Master:
MUHAMMADU ROSULULLAH; LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH,
MUHAMMADU ROSULULLAH, LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH, MUHAMMADU ROSULULLAH!
After this, he heard no further word
emanating from his Master's lips. His Master seemed to be asleep but the arm he
was holding was getting colder. The realization of death dawned immediately on
him.
His Master was no longer breathing: he had
quietly slipped out of this world and returned to the Mercy of His Lord. He
immediately took a pen and paper and looked at the time on the clock. He then
wrote as follows:
"Praise is due unto Allah, Surely it is
from Allah we come and unto Him shall we be returned. Our Master, the Harbinger
of the Faydah (Sahibul Faydah), Shaykh Ibrahim Niass died in London on the 16th
of Rajab 1395AH corresponding to the 26th of July, 1975 A.D at 12.03 p.m in St.
Thomas Hospital in Simeon's Ward. His room number is 2632. There was no one
present with him at this critical period except his companion Muhammad Kabir
Faye".

JANAZAH BATH}

Immediately, Kabir Faye went about the
bathing process for his Master's body. He wrapped him in the prescribed white
cloth and applied his perfume. He tidied him up and not long thereafter, the
doctor who was not expected came in.
Kabir Faye was surprised as to his coming
since he was not expected until Monday. He replied that the affection which had
developed in his patient as well as feeling of restlessness which he had
over-night made him anxious to want to see his loving patient.
This was what prompted him to come. Kabir
Faye then gave him the news of his passage out of this world barely an hour
ago. The doctor did his own cross-examinations in order to satisfy himself of
the status quo. After this, he informed him of the need to prepare necessary
documentations to facilitate the return flight against Monday the 28th of July
as has already been booked.
To this end, he wanted to take the late
patient's pictures. Kabir Faye said he was not sure his master will like any
picture of him to be taken in that state. This was because, when he was alive,
he never loved taking pictures but since his lovers and followers were always
doing so, he may have no option than to accede to the doctor's request.
He re-iterated however that had it been his
Master was alive, he would have requested for his express permission. So, the
doctor made an attempt at taking the pictures only to realize at the third
attempt that the picture was showing blank; nothing showed.
So he had to ask for Kabir Faye's picture to
be taken in place of his Master, in order to facilitate documentations.

DEATH NOTIFICATION TO UBA WARU AND HASSAN
CISSE
All these while, no sign of either Uba Waru
or Hassan Cisse were noticed. So he (Kabir Faye) sent word that Uba Waru should
be summoned to the hospital. When he came around 2 o'clock, he explained that
he had to attend a court session as a witness.
Kabir Faye broke the news of the passing-away
of their Master and asked Uba Waru to go and look for Hassan so that he too
will be aware. This, Uba Waru did and Hassan came after some time.
DEATH
NOTIFICATION TO THE PUBLIC
From the three, messages were wired across
the people all over Nigeria, Senegal and London. There was nothing left, except
preparation for boarding arrangements on the British Airways flight already
scheduled for Monday.
This was how Shaykh Ibrahim was flown home by
them. In Nigeria, at the time news of Shaykh's death reached the people, Seyyid
Aliu Cisse was in Yola, Nigeria. He was immediately informed and summoned by
Shaykh Tijani to come to Lagos.
In Lagos, Alhaji Ramalan, a close student of
Shaykh along with a few of his colleagues arranged a chartered flight to convey
them on the corpse of Shaykh from London in Dakar.
From this point, other thousand of lovers all
converged in Dakar on the solemn drive back to the city of Kaolack for
immediate burial the sameday.
At Madina Kaolack, amidst the teaming mass of
people, the Qutb(Spiritual Pole/Axis) and Gawth(Succour) was laid to rest in
his rawdah just a few metres from his mosque, a place which had become popular
for the unprecedented number of visitors of numbering millions from all over the
world and who thronged the place, in order to pay their respects to the
Saahibul Faydah(Catalyst of the Spiritual Flood), who came and gave all to
drink from his sea of love and generosity.
From Allah we come from, and to Him we shall
return (Innaa lillahi wa Innaa ilayhi Raaji'uun).

THE
LAST DAYS OF BAYE
In
1944, Ibou Diouf, one of the senior muqadams of Shaikh Ibrahim Niasse cried
aloud (ecstatically) saying that "the great star will change course in
London."
|
Ibou Diouf |
Consequently,
thirty-one (31) years later, in 1975, Baye Niasse passed-on at St. Thomas hospital,
London, United Kingdom.
Retrospectively,
at Medina-Baye Dakar in 1975: Cheikh Ibrahima Niasse had already begun to make
his farewells (to his family, students and loved ones).
The
people of intelligence could guess that the great Sheikh was leaving. Indeed,
he used to say he would live as long as his father, the venerable Al-Haji Abdullahi
Niasse, who died at the age of 76.
When
Baye Niasse was 75 years old, one could guess that the time was near. Then,
during his last "Laylatul Qadr", the night of destiny was the
twenty-seventh night of Ramadan, in 1975, he had said in his last speech:
"On
this blessed night of Laylatul Qadr, you know that we will be missing some (of
us) before the next Ramadan, may Allah accept them at His side (into His Mercy)."
Moreover,
during his last Friday prayer, he could not continue because of an illness, he
had appointed his eldest son Ibrahim Al-Haji Abdullahi Niasse to replace him
(in the salat). By this act, O how symbolic! Baye had to choose his successor.
The
day of his departure from Medina Baye, Sheikh Ibrahim visited the tomb of his
illustrious father, who is situated at the great mosque of Leona Niasséne.
Leaving
Kaolack with a heavy heart, Sheikh al-Islam knew that this trip was the last.
From Dakar to London: Once in Dakar, before taking the plane, one of his
Mauritanian muqadams visited him and told him: "Pray for me that I may be
present at the reception of the afterlife." Sheikh nodded and proclaimed
aloud: "Glory to Allah, the one with the destiny of mankind in his hands!.
It
started raining when the plane that conveyed Baye Niasse flew to London.
At London:
Accompanied by his grand-son, Sheikh Hassan Cisse and Kabir Faye, one of the
faithful companions (of Shaikh Ibrahim Niasse). Sheikh was admitted into St.
Thomas hospital, London.
On Saturday,
July 26, 1975, Sheikh al-Islam Al-Haji Ibrahim Niasse (BAYE) gave up the ghost,
leaving behind millions of orphans (followers and lovers).
Three
days later, his corpse was conveyed to Senegal, Sheikh Ibrahim’s mausoleum is
sited beside his mosque in Medina Baye, Kaolack.
