At an international gathering of the Organization of Islamic Conference in Jiddah, in  the Royal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, all the representives and delegations of the countries in attendance spoke (in Arabic). And Sheikh Mahmoud Barhama Diop who was the representative from Senegal and leader of her delegation was quite (throughout the event) and he never spoke. So when it was his turn to speak, the Saudi representative (host country) who was the chairman of the occasion, said, " I will n give the Senegalese representative the chance to speak but, I think we need to translate what had transpired for him (so far), because he may not understand Arabic language and he did not hear what happened in our discussion".

ﻭﺣﻴﻦ ﺍﺳﺘﻠﻢ ﺑﺮﻫﺎﻡ ﺟﻮﺏ ﺍﻟﻜﻼﻡ

However, when Sheikh Barhama Diop gave a slutation, he thanked Allah and praised him(in Arabic) and said amidst laughter : So did spend my youthful exuberance without seeking knowledge?! ("hir" here he used it figuratively) I learnt (at an early age) since I was born and have been practicing it daily (Arabic) after breakfast and dinner, and then Allah blessed me with that Sheikh Shinqiti - Ahmad Mahmoud Walad Rabbani - who used to hold my tongue so I can pronounce the letter "haa".. Then Barhama Diop continued and brought up some much awesome and amazing wonders. The gathering was so amazed with the unique eloquence of this man, then the chairman of this occasion (the Saudi citizen who in his introduction to him doubted if he understands Arabic) gave up the chairmanship and requested him to be the chairman and sworn that no body chairs the occasion but him.

ﻭﺣﺪﺙ ﻋﻨﻪ ﻧﻮﺭﺍﻟﺪﻳﻦ ﺍﻟﻐﺎﺑﺪ ﻗﺎﻝ : ﻣﻦ ﺧﺼﺎﺋﺼﻪ ـ

Nuru Deen Al- Gabid spoke about him saying: As part of his unique characteristics - perhaps this is the basic speciality (about him) - That he used be the travelling companion (personal protocol/secretary/aide) of Sheikh Ibrahim. He undertook most of his travels worldwide with him, even in China where Sheikh compelled him to deliver a speech on his behalf, he stood up and spoke and said all that Sheikh wanted him to say.

ﻭﻗﺪ ﺳﻤﻌﺖ ﻣﻦ ﻓﻴﻪ ﺭﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻳﻘﻮﻝ : ﺑﺄﻧﻪ ﺍﻋﺘﻤﺮ ﻣﻊ

ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺦ ﺇﺑﺮﺍﻫﻴﻢ ﻭﺣﻴﻨﻤﺎ ﺩﺧﻠﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺿﺔ ﺍﻟﺸﺮﻳﻔﺔ ـ ﻋﻠﻰ

ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺦ ﺇﺑﺮﺍﻫﻴﻢ ﺑﺄﻥ ﻳﻨﺸﺪ ﻗﺼﻴﺪﺗﻪ ﺍﻟﺤﺎﺋﻴﺔ ﺍﻟﺘﻲ

ﻣﻄﻠﻌﻬﺎ  :

 ﺳِﻔﺎﺭﻱ ﺇﻟﻰ ﺍﻟﻬﺎﺩﻱ ﻟﺬﻟﻚ ﺃﻓﺮﺡُ**

 ﻗِﺮَﺍﻱَ ِﻟﻘﺎَ ﺧﻴﺮ ﺍﻟﻮﺭﻯ ﻭﻫﻮ ﺃﻓﺮﺡُ.

I (the author of this story) heard from his own mouth that: He once made Umrah with Sheikh Ibrahim and when they entered (Raudah of Rasululah s.a.w) the demarcated zone/"holy garden" of the Prophet s.a.w.(as he said in a hadith: The space in between my minbar/pulpit and my grave is a garden as part of the gardens of Paradise, hence Sheikh Ibrahim would always go to Raudah when he goes to Madinah)

- Sheikh Ibrahim requested him to recite his qasidah/poem which he wrote that rythmes with letter "haa" at the end of every stanza, which begins with:

I am happy with my journey to Al-Hadi (the guiding Prophet)

(In) my opinion meeting the best of mankind is the best source of happiness

ﻭﺣﻴﻨﻤﺎ ﺃﻧﺸﺪﻩ ﺑﺼﻮﺕ ﺧﺎﻓﺖ  ﻻﻳﺴﻤﻌﻪ ﻏﻴﺮﻩ ﻭﺍﻟﺸﻴﺦ ،

ﺃﻣﺮﻩ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺦ ﺃﻥ ﻳﻨﺸﺪﻫﺎ ﺑﺼﻮﺕ ﺟﻬﻮﺭﻱ ﻣﺮﺗﻔﻊ ،

ﻭﻋﻨﺪﻣﺎ ﺧﺮﺟﻮﺍ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺮﻭﺿﺔ ﺍﻟﻤﺒﺎﺭﻛﺔ ﺃﻣﺮﻩ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺦ

ﺇﺑﺮﺍﻫﻴﻢ ﺃﻥ ﻳﺮﺟﻊ ﻟﻠﺮﻭﺿﺔ ﻭﻳﻀﻊ  ﺍﻟﻮﺭﻗﺔ ﺍﻟﺘﻲ ﻓﻴﻬﺎ

 ﺍﻟﻘﺼﻴﺪﺓ ﻋﻨﺪ ﺭﺃﺳﻪ ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ .

So when he recited to him with a dimmed or subdued voice that non was hearing apart from him, Sheikh rather commanded him to recite with a lauder and higher voice. When they went out of the Raudah, Sheikh asked him to go back there and place or put the sheet of paper which the qasidah/poem was written on at exactly where the head of the Prophet s.a.w is located at his grave (within the confines of the Raudah).

ﻭﺳﺎﻓﺮ ﻣﺮﺓ ﻣﻊ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺦ ﺇﺑﺮﺍﻫﻴﻢ ﺇﻟﻰ ﺩﻭﻟﺔ ﻗﻄﺮ ﻭﺃﻧﺸﺪ ﻟﻪ

ﻟﻴﻠﺔ ﻗﺼﻴﺪﺗﻪ ﺍﻟﻌﻴﻨﻴﺔ ﺍﻟﻄﻮﻳﻠﺔ ﺍﻟﺘﻲ ﺗﻀﻢ ﺧﺼﺎﺋﺼﻪ

ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ﺍﻟﺘﻲ ﻣﻄﻠﻌﻬﺎ :

ﺃﺑﺮﻕ  ﺑﺪﺍ ﻧﺤﻮ ﺍﻟﻤﺮﺍﺑﻊ ﻳﻠﻤﻊُ * ﻓﻬﺒﻨﻲ ﺍﻣﺮﺀﺍ ﺇﺫ ﻳﻠﻤﻊ

 ﺍﻟﺒﺮﻕ ﻳﺪﻣﻊُ .

Once again, he and Sheikh together traveled to the Royal Kingdom of Qatar that. At that night he recited to Sheikh his long qasidah/poem that rythmes with the letter " 'ain" at the tail end of its stanzas, which comprises of the exceptional and extraordinary characteristics of the Prophet (PBUH), which begins with:

Is it a glimmer or glitter of light that manifests towards the ranches that shines?

So endow me with a man (whose eyes) will shed tears when the glimmer of light shines

ﻭﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﺼﺒﺎﺡ ﺃﺧﺒﺮ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺦَ ﺃﻧﻪ ﺭﺃﻯ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ

ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ﻓﻘﺎﻝ ﺍﻟﺸﻴﺦ : " ﺃﻟﻢ ﺃﻗﻞ ﻟﻜﻢ ﺇﻧﻬﺎ ﻣﺒﺎﺭﻛﺔ

ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﺟﻤﻴﻌﺎ " ﻫﺬﻩ ﻧﻤﺎﺫﺝ ﻗﻠﻴﻠﺔ ﻣﻦ ﻣﻮﺍﻗﻒ

ﻭﺧﺼﺎﺋﺺ ﺍﻟﻤﺮﺣﻮﻡ ﺍﻟﺘﻲ ﻳﻀﻴﻖ ﺍﻟﻮﻗﺖ ﻋﻦ ﺗﺘﺒﻌﻬﺎ

ﺃﺣﺮﻯ  ﺍﻟﺪﺧﻮﻝ ﻓﻲ ﺗﻔﺎﺻﻴﻠﻬﺎ .

So the next morning, he informed Sheikh that he saw the messenger of Allah (PBUH) in his dream and Sheikh said to him: " Didn't  I tell you that (praising the Prophet s.a.w.) is a blessing to all of you?!". These are few examples of exclusive status of our late Sheikh, that time will not permit us to better deal at length with it.

ﻛﺎﻥ ﻋﺎﻟﻤﺎ ﻣﺮﻣﻮﻗﺎ ، ﺧﻄﻴبﺎً ﻟَﺴِﻨﺎً  ، ﻳﺸﺪ ُّ ﺍﻟﻤﺘﻠﻘﻲ ﺇﻟﻴﻪ

ﺷﺪّﺍً ﻭﻳﺠﺬﺑﻪ ﺇﻟﻴﻪ ﺟﺬﺑﺎً  . ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﺪﺭﻭﺱ ﺍﻟﺤﺴﻨﻴﺔ ﻗﺎﻡ ﻟﻪ

ﺍﻟﻤﻠﻚ ﺍﻟﺤﺴﻦ ﺍﻟﺜﺎﻧﻲ ﺇﺟﻼﻻ  ﻟﻌﻠﻤﻪ ﻭﻗﺎﻝ "ﻫﺬﻩ ﻣﻜﺘﺒﺔ

 ﺗﺴﻴﺮ ﻋﻠﻰ ﻗﺪﻣﻴﻬﺎ" .

He was an outstanding intellectual, talented and terrific speaker that pulls whoever he meets (or whoever listens to him) and he would attract, captivate, mesmeriz and hypnotize him. In Marocco where he used to deliver Quranic Exegesis, dubbed, "Duroosul Hassaniyah", "Hassaniyah Lessons"(named after their late King Hassan), once King Hassan the 2nd (who could see seating opposite to him in the video below at one of his lessons) stood up in respect and recognition for his amazing talent and described him as: "This is a library walking on its foot!".

ﻭﻓﻲ خطبة ﻟﻪ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﻘﺎﻫﺮﺓ ﺗﻮﻗﻒ  الرءيسﺣﺴﻨﻲ ﻣﺒﺎﺭﻙ ﺣﺎﺋﺮﺍ

ﻭﻫﻮ ﻳﻘﻮﻝ " ﻣﻦ ﻫﺬﺍ ﺍﻟﺨﻄﻴﺐ " ؟ ﻣﺘﻌﺠﺒﺎً ﻣﻦ

ﻓﺼﺎﺣﺔ ﻟﺴﺎﻧﻪ ، ﻭﺑﻼﻏﺔ  ﻛﻼﻣﻪ, ﻓﺮﺣﻤﻪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺭﺣﻤﺔ ﻭﺍﺳﻌﺔ

ﻭﺟﻌﻠﻪ ﻓﻲ ﺳﺪﺭ ﻣﺨﻀﻮﺩ ﻭﻃﻠﺢ ﻣﻨﻀﻮﺩ ﻭﻇﻞ

ﻣﻤﺪﻭﺩ ﻭﻣﺎﺀ ﻣﺴﻜﻮﺏ ﻭﻓﺎﻛﻬﺔ ﻛﺜﻴﺮﺓ ﻻﻣﻘﻄﻮﻋﺔ

ﻭﻻ ﻣﻤﻨﻮﻋﺔ. ﺁﺁﺁﺁﻣﻴﻦ

And in yet another instance, while he was delivering a khutbah/sermon in Cairo, the then Egpytinan President Husny Mubarak stood up in a confused state, asking, "Who is this Preacher"?, just wondering about the elequence of his tongue, and articulacy and fluency of his speech. So may Allah have abundant mercy upon him and him among the dwellers of Jannah in the Lot-trees without thorns, Talha (plantain or banana tree) with flowers(or fruits), in a shade long-extended,  by water flowing constantly and fruit in abundance, whose season is not limited not(supply) forbidden(as Allah himself discribed in Suratulul Waqi'ah) Ameen!!!!!

ولما لايكون هكذا كما جاءني (حسين يوشع بابا الواعظ) الخبر, في يوم من الأيام, جاء شيخنا برهام جوب إلى مربيه قاموس الحقيقة والشريعة, مولانا الغوث يطلب منه بعض القراطيس ليكتب بها, فنظر إليه الشيخ ونظم من فيه فورا هذه الأبيات الرائعة قائلا:

هاك القراطيس أيا برهامُ *قد حِدْتَّ عن نهج الأُلى قد هاموا

عشتَ وأنت صِنددٌ همام * فتىً لكل مشكل فهام ً

 يعنو لك القرطاس والأقلام * حتى يقالَ إنه برهام

And why would he not be as such, as information reached me (Husseini Yushau BabalWaiz) that once upon a time, our Sheikh Barhama Diop went to his mentor Maulana Sheikh Barhama Niass and asked him for some sheet of papers to write on them. Sheikh then looked at him and immediately begin to compose this amazing poem orally:

Over to you the sheet of papers O Barhama  (Diop)

You have distanced (yourself) away from the path of those who have gone astray

You have lived as a leader and commander

As a young man who will understand every problem (in knowledge/deen)

Pens will humble themselves to you (meaning, they will write whatever your mind will command them to)

Until you will begin to be called Barhama (Sheikh Barhama himself)

وهذه الأبيات التمني حول الشيخ برهام جوب هي نتيجة الفيوضات العلوم الرباني والتباشير النور الإلهي التي قد من الله تعالي عليه , كما قرأناها أنفا وكما سنرى في هذا الشريط الفيديوا لما كان مفسرا لكتاب الله باللغة العربية في قصر الملكي المغربي في موسم رمضان.

And this poem of prospective hope regarding Sheikh Barhama Diop is the result of the divine flood of knowledge and glittering glade tidings that he was endowed with by Allah Almighty, as we have read above and as we will see in his video tape when he was a muffasir/exegist for the book of Allah in Arabic Language in the Royal Palace of the King of Marocco in Ramadan.

ولاغرابة فقد قيل: كيف ماكان مربي يكون المربى...لقد كان مربيه مولانا الغوث أول إفريقي السود الذي فسر القرآن باللغة العربية(في رياض التفسير- التي بدأت ترجمتها في شهر رمضان الماضي, وساواصل في هذه السنة بمشيئة الله) وهو أيضا أول إفريقي السود الذي خطب وصلى في مسجد الجامع بجامعة الأزهر الشريف, الذي لامثيل له عبر تاريخ الأفريقية...!!!

It is not strange that it was said: A trainee turns to be like (his) trainer...His mentor, Sheikh Ibrahim was the first ever black African to deliver khutbah/sermon and lead Jum'ah prayer at masjid located at the great Al-Azhar University, which was unprecedented in the annals of African history...!!!

ذات يوما تعرف الشيخ شيخ برهام جوب للناس حوله وقال: " هذا تلميذي علمته ودرسته ولا كنه أفصح مني. قال شيخ الاسلام لبرهام جوب فاجاب لشيخ ربما أستاذه أفصح من أستاذك".

One day Sheikh introduced Sheikh Barhama Diop to the people around him and said: "This is my student, I thought and trained him but he is more eloquent than me. Then Sheikh Barhama Diop answered him saying: Maybe his teacher is more eloquent that your teacher(a diguise way of telling Sheikh that he is more eloquent than him, because he is the teacher here).

 وهذا الجواب التأدبي إن دل عذاب شيئا فإنما يدل عليه على مدى تواضعه لجانب الشيخ وفي نفس الوقت موعظة لنا طلاب اليوم , لاسيما في هذه الطريقة التربوية, أننا كطلاب معما بلغنا من ذروة سنام العلم , واجب علينا أن نتواضع لأساتذتنا....!!!

So this answer full of humility, if anything at all indicates the extent of his respect to Sheikh and at same time a lesson for us today's students, especially in this our oriented path, that as students, no matter the level of knowledge we attain, it is incumbent upon us to respect our teachers...!!!

فنحن مازلنا ساءلين المولى جل في علاه أن يمييتنا على درب هؤلاء الأعلام الأجلاء النبلاء الأتقياء الذين طلقوا الدنيا وخافوا الفتنة....!!!

We continuously ask Allah Almighty to take our souls while on the path of these prominent, nobles and pious scholars who have divorced themselves from the materialism of this world due to their fear of getting tempted by it.
