Abu al-Fadl Abdullah bin Muhammad bin al-Siddiq al-Ghumari (Arabic:عبد الله بن الصديق الغماري; 1910–1993) was aMuslim preacher, scholar ofhadith, jurist and theologian from Morocco.[1]
Ghumari was born inTangier 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. Hememorized theQur'an at an early age, in addition toBulugh al-Maram,Alfiya andAjārūmīya inArabic grammar.[citation needed]
Ghumari later travelled toFas for his higher education, but then enrolled in theUniversity of al-Karaouine. While there, he also studiedMosque of Uqba,[2] aUNESCOWorld Heritage Site and important seat of Muslim religious learning.[3] During his study, Ghumari studies canonical texts in Sunni Islam, includingAl-Qastallani's explanation ofSahih al-Bukhari and the works ofKhalil ibn Ishaq al-Jundi.[2] Eventually, Ghumari switched from Karaouine toAl-Azhar University in 1930 and graduating the next year. During his education, Ghumari was a student ofAl-Kawthari, of whom Ghumari would later hold extremely negative views.[4]
Due to fears in the widerArab world regarding the influence of theMuslim 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]
He studied underMuhammad al-Tahir ibn 'Ashur,Yusuf al-Nabhani,Muhammad Zahid al-Kawthari,Muhammad Bakhit al-Muti'i, and Hasanayn Muhammad Makhluf.[5]
Ghumari's students includedMuhammad bin Yahya al-Ninowy,Hassan al-Kattani.[6][7][8][9]Hamza Yusuf received anijazah from him.[10]
