BRIEF HISTORY OF SHEIKH YAHAYA AMIN by IBRAHIM A. AHMED.

His father was Mohammed amin and mother halimatu sadiya. Indeed,history has it that he was among the first Islamic clergy who were transported from Nigeria into ghana to teach islamic studies. Arriving in ghana,he settled at papuro around bawjuase in the eastern region and gave birth to sheikh yahaya. He was the first among the children of his father. Mallam yahaya grew up in the same neighborhood with mallam burunkuma. It was only a wall that created a boundary between their homes. A couple of times,i have heard burunkuma address mallam yahaya as his senior brother. For those are still in doubt you can contact burunkuma to confirm the birth place of Malam yahaya. His father was also the first to have established an Islamic school (makaranta) in the bawjuase township. Malam yahaya's father was friend to mallam sharubutu (father of the chief imam). In this regard,mallam yahaya was brought to mallam sharubutu for Islamic teaching and training. Having completed the Koran at a tender age and wanted to leave,his father allowed him to sit and continue with his study. Eventually malam yahaya was fully handed to the father of the chief as his son. This gesture was in tandem to our cultural setting. During this time,mallam yahaya was handed over to the national chief imam by the father of the latter to teach and train him. At a very tender age,mallam yahaya had completed all aspects of islamic knowledge. To showcase this gift from allah, mallam yahaya wrote his first book "tuufatul hushak" eulogizing sheikh ibrahim niasse of Senegal. Three prominent islamic scholars wrote in acknowledgment of this book. These were sheikh aliyu Ciessey(father of hassan Ciessey),mallam haruna rashid and the chief imam. His book appears the famous in respect of those written to eulogise sheikh ibrahim. History has it that when the book was presented to sheikh ibrahim in 1969, he praised mallam yahaya and prayed for him. It was in this same book he eulogised the father of hassan Ciessey. In this same book he prophesized that both aliyu ciessey and the national chief imam will be successors to sheikh Ibrahim. Eventually,this chalk has been achieved. Verily,it takes people with foresight and divine wisdom to make such predictions. Even though the book was outdoored in 1969, mallam yahaya completed the write up in 1965. Eulogising the national chief imam, He wrote" Rida laahi an sheihii murabii wa murshidii; khaliifatu sheihi man bihii nuuru saatihun. Wazaaka muhibul faani Osman man gadaa: siraajan muniiran hulkuhuu kul tawaa dihun". Ever since,mallam yahaya has written the following books:"tuufatul haarar, hurjuu zatul wildan, hural haqwa,haqii datul islaamiiya, duru nafiis, nuru labiib". He however continues to write till date and we await his publication in the coming days. In 1987 he won a prestigious award from Ayatulaahi khumaini with the tittle "kudratu laahi". May allah be pleased with us all. Thank you.
