Shaikh Muhammad al-Muhammad al-Kasnazan al-Husayni (may Allah sanctify his secret) served as the Master of Tariqa ʿAliyya Qadiriyya Kasnazaniyya for over forty-two years, from early 1978 until he passed to Allah's mercy in the middle of 2020. Our honourable Shaikh dedicated his life to the service of Islam, Muslims, and people in general. He was a perfect role model for seekers on the way of the Qur'an and the Sunna of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through whom Allah guided countless people. Our beloved Shaikh devoted his life to teaching people to love the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) as a means of acquiring love for Allah Almighty, excelling as a teacher of the most sacred of love. He deserved to join those whom the honourable Prophet praised, saying, "e;They make Allah's servant loved by Allah and they make Allah loved by His servants"e;.As the Shaikhdom of Tariqa is a matter of divine selection, Allah Almighty looks after anyone He chooses for this spiritual role before promoting him to that position. Indeed, Allah cares for him even before he is born, providing the means, including the spiritual environment in which he is raised, that would develop him as He wants. This was clearly visible in the life of our Shaikh.As is the case with all Shaikhs of Tariqa, the natural and the supernatural intertwined in the life of Shaikh Muhammad al-Muhammad. Karamas were the ink that penned much of his life. Writing his biography, then, means documenting some of the karāmas that Allah granted our honourable Shaikh.
