Muhammad bin Muhammad al-Fassi (commonly known as Qutbul Ujud Imam Fassi) (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]).
