Sayed Moegsien bin Alawie Al & Aidurus and
Sheikh Abdurahman Ibn Muhammed

The history of Wali Allah Sayed Moegsien (RA) can be traced the beginning of the 20^th century to a mountain hamlet, hadratul Mout near Aden in Yamen. As denoted by the title Sayed; Sheikh Moegsien (RA) was a direct descendent of the supreme prophet Nabi Muhammed Mustafa (SAW).

As a young man, Sayed Moegsien already showed great promise as an exponent of the Deen. Early in his life, he left Yamen and Emigrated to Mombassa in Kenya. It was here that the Sheikh met Mariam, an expartriate from Hydria in India. Sayed Moegsien married Mariam and lived in Mombassa for a good few years.

In 1909, Sayed finally took up the reigns of what was to be characterised as his life’s work. He actively pursued his missionary calling and departed for the Cape Town. Here he stayed for a period of ten years after which he briefly returned to Mombassa. In 1927, again journeyed to Cape Town to continue his missionary work.

On his return, he met and married Khadija Kamrudien Parker. From this union, a daughter Sharifa Qubaba Futoon binyi Alawie al Aidarus was Born. She currently resides in Rylands Athlone and is a testimony to the legacy of Sayed Moesien (RA) .
