Muslim preacher and jurist
Abu al-Fadl Abdullah bin Muhammad bin al-Siddiq al-Ghumari (Arabic : عبد الله بن الصديق الغماري ; 1910–1993) was a Muslim preacher, scholar of hadith , jurist and theologian from Morocco.[1]
Life
Ghumari was born in Tangier in 1910, and died there in 1993.[2] As a child, he was primarily educated by his father Muhammad bin al-Siddiq al-Ghumari, an Islamic scholar. He memorized the Qur'an at an early age, in addition to Bulugh al-Maram , Alfiya and Ajārūmīya in Arabic grammar .[citation needed ]
Ghumari later travelled to Fas for his higher education, but then enrolled in the University of al-Karaouine . While there, he also studied Mosque of Uqba ,[2] a UNESCO World Heritage Site and important seat of Muslim religious learning.[3] During his study, Ghumari studies canonical texts in Sunni Islam, including Al-Qastallani 's explanation of Sahih al-Bukhari and the works of Khalil ibn Ishaq al-Jundi .[2] Eventually, Ghumari switched from Karaouine to Al-Azhar University in 1930 and graduating the next year. During his education, Ghumari was a student of Al-Kawthari , of whom Ghumari would later hold extremely negative views.[4]
Due to fears in the wider Arab world regarding the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in the mid-twentieth century, Ghumari was accused of having ties to a foreign group.[citation needed ] In 1961, he was sentenced to ten years in prison, likely due to his time spent in Egypt where the Brotherhood had formed. His older brother, Ahmad al-Ghumari , fell ill upon hearing of his younger brother's long sentence and died eight months later.[citation needed ]
