'Ibrahīm Bin ʿAbd-El-ʿAzīz 'Abu al-Majd (Arabic: إبراهيم بن عبد العزيز أبو المجد), better known as El Desouki (الدسوقي) (Desouk, Egypt, 1255 – 1296), was a Sufi saint and Imam and the founder of the Desouki Order.
Life
El Desouki was born in Desouk on the Nile delta and there he lived his whole life, hence his attribution to it. According to tradition, He is a descendant of Ali ibn Abi Talib from his paternal side and to the Caliph of the Dasooqi order in Egypt from his maternal side. El-Desouki was influenced by the Shadhili Sufi order and was as well close to his contemporary Sufi Ahmad al-Badawi of Tanta. He became Sheikh ul-Islam of Egypt during Baibars' rule.
His feast is celebrated twice a year: the first during April, and the second on October the 2nd.
