Shaykh Hasan Spiker's Biography:Hasan Spiker is a philosopher and comparative scholar of Islamic, Greek, and modern thought. Spiker spent twelve years studying the Islamic sciences in the Middle East, primarily under the tutelage of the Iraqi sage and theologian al-Sayyid Quṣayy Abū al-Siʿd. Upon his return to the United Kingdom, Spiker entered the University of Cambridge where he completed his MPhil, and is currently carrying out his doctoral research, in philosophy. From 2014-2022 Spiker was a researcher on Tabah Foundation’s ‘Classification of the Sciences’ project, widely lauded as one of the most significant contemporary attempts to renew the epistemological and metaphysical foundations of traditional Islamic philosophical thought. His main areas of study in Islamic thought are i) the intersection of ʿilm al-kalām (Muslim theology), Avicennan philosophy, and ʿilm al-taḥqīq (experiential metaphysics), as well as ii) the metaphysical foundations of ethics; in Greek thought, the Neoplatonic critique of Aristotelian immanentism; and in modern thought, the philosophy of Kant, the metaphysics of freedom, and the possibility of metaphysics. He joined Zaytuna College as a lecturer in philosophy and logic in 2022, and as of 2023, serves as a faculty member at Usul Academy. https://www.usul.academy/faculty Hasan Spiker's Posts about his teacher " The Allama & Mutakallim, al-Sayyid Qusayy Abu al-Si'd al-Rifa'i al-Husayni: You will call me biased, but I have never met a Sufi or an Alim who comes within a country mile of this man.

ابنُ الكرامِ، أخُو المكارمِ والتقى *ابنُ الرّفاعيْ وابنُ حيدرةَ الوَصِيْ
ذاك المفدَّى والمُقدَّمُ في العلى * السيدُ الجَحْجَاحُ والمَولَى قُصَيْ
حبرٌ جَليلٌ شَامِخٌ يُنْمَى إلى* آلِ (أبو السِّعْدِ) الوليِّ المُخْلَصِ
وَرِثَ المَفاخِرَ كابرًا عن كابرٍ * فشُؤونُ مجدِ علاهُمُ لا تَنحصِي
لِمْ لا وَجَدُّهمُ العظيمُ مُحَمَّدٌ * ذاكَ الذي وَطِئَ السّماءَ بأَخْمَصِ
فالزمْ حِماهُ يا صُويحِبُ إنّها*من نائباتِ الدهرِ خيرُ مُخلِّصِ
واظفَرْ بِمَنهجِه السَّوِيِّ ولا تَحِدْ *واسْتَعصِمَنَّ بِحبلِهِ ولْتَحرِصِ
مولايَ زِدْهُ منَ العطاءِ تكرّمًا*عَمِّمْ له الخيراتِ رَبّيَ واخْصُصِ
واحفظْه معْ نَجلَيهِ مِن باغٍ ومِن * ذي خِدعةٍ وغوايةٍ مُتَرَبِّصِ
