Muhammad bin Muhammad al-Fassi (commonly known as Qutbul Ujud Imam Fassi) (Arabic: محمد بن محمد الفاسي;1760?–1863)[1] was the originator of the Fassi family of Sheikhs who constitute the Fassiyatush Shadhiliyya Sufi order.[1]
Fassi was born either in the year 1173 Hijri (ca 1760 CE)[1] or 1218 Hijri[2] in Fes in Morocco, from which the family name "al-Fassi" had earlier been derived.[1] His mother died during his very childhood. He was a hafiz al-Quran during his childhood and travelled to various parts of the world and finally Makkah in search of wisdom.[citation needed]
Imam Fassi can be briefly referred to as Qutbul Ujud or Qutbul Ujud Hazrat Fassi.[3] Some of the full versions of his name include Qutbur Rabbani, Haikalus Samadhani, Qutbul ujood, Abu Abdullah Seiyaduna Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Masood bin Abdur Rahman al-Makki al-Hasani al-Idrissi al-Fassi ash-Shadhili (Rali.)[2] or Hazrat Qutbul Ujud Seyyidina Mohammad al-Fassy ash-Shadhili (Rah...).[4]
Imam Fassi travelled to Mecca to memorise and learn the Quran with tajwid. He travelled to many places in search of good preachers. His main sheikh was Sidi al-Sheikh Muhammad bin Hamzah al-Madani[1] (Sheikh Qutb Mohammad bin Hamza lafir al-Madani (Rali…)[5]).
Imam Fassi and his descendants form a branch of Shadhiliyya[4] which is the only tariqush Shukr (Order of Gratitude).
The silsila of the Fassiyatush Shadhiliyya order (called as Silsilat ad dhahab) is as follows:[6][7][8][9]
