Shaykh Thaqib Mahmood
Ustaz Thaqib has travelled to numerous places over the last 10 years in pursuit of sacred knowledge. This began at several Deen intensives with Shaykh Hamza Yusuf from whom the impetus to his seeking sacred knowledge belongs. After travelling to Morocco he went to Hadramawt to the village of Tarim where he sat at the feet of the spiritual Masters and jurists including Habib Umar bin Hafiz. He travelled to Damascus a number of times and studies under Shaykh Muhammad Darwish, Shaykh Abdul Wahaab Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi, Shaykh Adnan al Majd, Shaykh Maree al Rashid and Shaykh Khalil al Sabbagh. His travels also lead him to Mauritania to study with Murabit al Hajj, to Liverpool to study with Shaykh Siraj Ud-Din and to Istanbul at the feet of the Gnostic and friend of Allah, Shaykh Mahmood Effendi; and studied with Shaykh Ehsaan Hojah and Shaykh Muhammad Ameen Siraj.
In 2007 returned to the UK to become involved in the instruction of sacred knowledge and continue his studies.
