Background
Shaykh Habib Umar bin Hafiz was born in Tarim, Hadhramaut, Yemen. His father was Muhammad bin Salim bin Hafiz, a mufti of Tarim, a pious caller to Islam and a martyr of the communist uprising. He is a sayyid (a descendent of the Islamic prophet Muhammad) through his grandson Hussein ibn Ali.[2] The surname “Hafiz” comes from a clan of the family of “Shaikh Abubakr,” which originated from the name of his twelfth paternal great-grandfather.[3]Early life
