Muhammad al-Mahdi al-Fasi — Imam Ghazali Institute biography

Imam Ghazali Institute biography of Shaykh Muhammad al-Mahdi al-Fasi, excerpted from the introduction to IGI's Al-Khasa'is al-Muhammadiyya, which includes a translation of his Matali' al-Masarrat. It calls him a famous jurist, muhaddith, Sufi, biographer and historian, records that Qasim al-Khasasi became his shaykh in the spiritual path, quotes al-Qadiri's and al-Kattani's descriptions of him, and gives his birth on 29 Rajab 1033 AH and his death on 9 Sha'ban 1109 AH (20 February 1698). It is one of the two independent texts behind the person record's sufi/documented settlement.
