Ibrahim bin Ismail
Ibrahim bin Ismail (1917–2005), also known as Usu Ibrahim, was an Indonesian Shafi'i school ulama from Bengkalis. He was known as the spreader of the Tarekat Sayyidil Mursalin (literally Order of Sayyidil Mursalin) in Bengkalis, a religious practice that comes from the book *Maslaku Ar-Raghibin fi Thoriqoti Al-Sayyidi Al-Mursalin* written by Ahmad Khatib al-Minangkabawi.
Early life
Ibrahim was born in 1917 in Sebauk, a village in Bengkalis, Dutch East Indies, as the child of Malay descent of Ismail (d. 1956), a practitioner of the Tarekat Sayyidil Mursalin (literally Sayyidil Mursalin Order) who was a student of Ahmad Khatib al-Minangkabawi.[1] He had two brothers, Zaini, who resided in Jangkang, and Abdul Malik, who resided in Sebauk.[2] Ibrahim received an education about practices from his father.[3]
Personal life
Ibrahim was married three times to Kholijah, Zaimah, and Aisyah.[4] He had 14 children from his three marriages, including Abu Nizar, an Islamic preacher in Penampi, and Nurzali, an Islamic educator in Kubu.[1] As of 2020, Kholijah and Zaimah had already passed away, leaving Aisyah as the only survivor.[4]
Career
Ibrahim started his career as an ulama by becoming a propagator of the Tarekat Sayyidil Mursalin (literally Sayyidil Mursalin Order), an Islamic religious practice that contains specific practices of wirid and zikr after prayer that originates from *Maslaku Ar-Raghibin fi Thoriqoti Al-Sayyidi Al-Mursalin* written by Ahmad Khatib al-Minangkabawi.[1] After the death of his father in 1956, he continued the development of the amaliah in c. 1968, along with his brothers Zaini and Abdul Malik.[2] He began preaching to several villages to teach scientific teachings about monotheism, ushul fiqh, the study of 20 qualities, good deeds, and other Islamic religious knowledge.[2] Ibrahim had 500 students who were dominated by people from various regions in Bengkalis.[2] He organized Islamic studies carried out at the homes of his students on a rotating basis, such as in Penampi, Pangkalan Batang, Muntai, Sebauk, Jangkang, and Sungai Alam.[5]
During his teaching period, Ibrahim always faced insults from several parties who discredited the teachings he conveyed as heretical and contrary to Islam.[5] He was also accused of embracing communism.[5] In connection with this accusation, he was summoned by the Bengkalis Regency Department of Religion to find a solution to the problem, which was witnessed by Muhammad Usman, Abdullah Nur, Ustaz Mil, Robudin, Umar, and several other figures.[5] From the results of the trial, Ibrahim was found not guilty because the religious studies he developed had a strong basis by using the Al-Qur'an, Hadith and Ulama's Ijmak as sources of learning and then allowing him to develop these studies more widely in society.[5]
