“THE ICON OF MYSTICS: SHAYKH IBRAHIM NIASS AL~KAWLAKHY”

By: Shaykh (Dr.) Awwal Baba Taofiq


Abdur~Rahman Doi reports that; around 1960, a miraculous event changed the course of history of expansion of Islam in the Igbo~speaking are of Nigeria. Nwagui, an Igbo and a anative of Afikpo who was well~grounded in the Christian doctrines saw some mysterious dreams in which an unknown turbaned and bearded African looking like a Muslim summoned him to come to him, leaving his present practice of religion. Being troubled by the repeated dreams, he consulted Muslim Mallams describing the man he saw in his dreams. Someone pointed out to him that the description seemed like that of Shaykh Ibrahim Niass of Kawlakh in Senegal, the spiritual head of the Tijaniyyah path in West~Africa. Nwagui prepared to visit Senegal where he saw and recognized him immediately. He spent several years in his presence after accepting Islam. He adopted the same Muslim name as that of his spiritual mentor.

Faydah Tijaniyyah spread to the Eastern part of Nigeria and Afikpo became the nerve centre of Faydah. Afikpo became reservoir of renowned Islamic scholars in the Eastern part of Nigeria. The pathfinder, Shaykh Ibrahim Niass Nwagui after his return from Kawlakh, began to tour round Igbo communities propagating the religion of Islam and spreading the Faydah. The Shaykh (Nwagui) built a large Islamic Center in his hometown Nnofia, the center included a large mosque, a Primary and Qur’anic school, a Library, a small Hospital and fairly close to the compound, his own personal residence from where he could supervise the activities of the center.----------{A.R.I Doi: Islam in Nigeria, 1984.p.171} cited in {“The Icon Of Mystics: Shaykh Ibrahim Niass Al~Kawlakhy” of Shaykh Awwal Baba Taofiq, 2008}.

He (Nwagui) was converted to Islam by Shaykh Ibrahim Niass who gave his name to the new convert and requested him to propagate Islam in the Eastern region of Nigeria. Shaykh Nwagui claimed to have carried out the assignment successfully by converting many people into Islam and destroying many idols. Giving report on his activities, Nwagui said:

“On October 28th 1958, the whole people of the village of Anofia, Afikpo, men and women numbering upto 2,000 embraced Islam and voluntarily handed over their individual and communal jujus, idols and shrine to me….to destroy”---------This is contained in the letter which Shaykh Nwagui wrote on 14th January, 1960 to Sir Ahmadu Bello, the then Premier of the Northern Region.

In 1964, Shaykh Nwagui made another significant conversion exercise which is duely recorded in a newspaper. The paper slated thus:

“Hajj Sayyid Ibrahim Nwagui, a Muslim leader of Eastern Nigeria….Who is on a religious tour of some parts of Eastern Nigeria arrived at Abriba Ikomoru town with his Secretary~General, Muhammad Uchendu and thirty followers……..after five hours of preaching Islam to them, the chief juju priest including one hundred and thirty-three pagans and twenty-four Christians surrendered themselves to him and embraced Islam in his hand that same day”----Nigeria Citizen, Saturday 26th Sept, 1964.

Shukran jazeelan to Shaykh Awwal Baba Taofiq for his book, which has enlightened us so much. May Allah more fruitful years to propagate Islam and Faydah, Ameen!!!
