== Lineage ==
Umar bin Ahmad bin Abi Bakr bin Abdullah bin Abd al-Rahman bin Muhammad bin Zayn bin Alawi bin Abd al-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Muhammad Sumayt bin Ali al-Shihabi bin Abd al-Rahman Babutinah bin Ahmad bin Alawi bin al-Faqih Ahmad bin Abd al-Rahman bin Alawi, uncle of al-Faqih al-Muqaddam bin Muhammad Sahib Mirbat bin Ali Khali' Qasam bin Alawi bin Muhammad bin Alawi bin Ubaydallah bin Ahmad al-Muhajir bin Isa bin Muhammad al-Naqib bin Ali al-Uraydi bin Ja'far al-Sadiq bin Muhammad al-Baqir bin Ali Zayn al-Abidin bin al-Husayn bin Imam Ali bin Abi Talib, Imam Ali, the husband of Fatimah bint Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny).<ref>"Habib Umar bin Sumayt". MUWASALA. Archived from the original on 08 June 2020.</ref>

He is the thirty-second descendant of the Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him and his progeny).

== Birth and Upbringing ==
He was born on 26 Dhu al-Hijjah 1303 AH in the city of Itsandra, near Moroni, the capital of Comoros. His father, Ahmad bin Abi Bakr bin Sumayt, was the Mufti and Judge of Zanzibar. His grandfather, Abu Bakr, was the first person from the Sumayt family to migrate from Shibam, [[Hadramaut]], [[Yemen]] to Comoros in 1267 AH for the propagation and expansion of Islam and [[Islamic studies]] and trade. His mother, Fatimah, was from Comoros and the daughter of a teacher.<ref>"Hadramaut in the Meeting of 'Ingrams' and 'Bin Sumayt': In Zanzibar, East Africa 1925 CE". Shabwa Press. Archived from the original on 08 June 2020.</ref>

He was raised in the lap of his mother; since his father was at that time in Istanbul as a guest of Prince Fadl Pasha. He began his education by learning the Quran in the city of Itsandra. He was six years old when his father took him to Zanzibar upon returning to Africa, and there he was educated for two years under the guidance and supervision of his father. When he was eight years old, he was sent to Shibam in Hadramaut to live among his family and learn the asceticism, piety, and lifestyle of the Ba 'Alawi Sadat and follow the path of his predecessors. He then returned to Zanzibar and continued his studies there under his father.

== Return to East Africa ==
He went there at the request of the Sultan of Zanzibar to work in the field of judiciary and did not leave Zanzibar until after the Revolution of 1383 AH (1964 CE). In 1384 AH (1964/65 CE), he went to Al-Shihr, Hadramaut and intended to live there, but due to the political situation of that time, he returned to his homeland, Comoros, in 1384 AH (1964/65 CE). After returning to Comoros, he resumed his missionary activities, and his course of cultural reforms and social services, and was a guide and defender of the dissemination of Muhammadan knowledge among cities and villages. He was appointed as the first Mufti of Comoros. He participated in the establishment of several Islamic associations for the development of educational, scientific, and Islamic cultural works and was effectively engaged in charitable works, bringing much benefit to the people there, and many sects and people became Muslims through him.

His activities were not limited to preaching and admonition; rather, he established charitable institutions and carried out charitable projects such as building mosques, schools, water sources, and reservoirs, and the benefits of his works continue to this day.

== Trip to Shibam ==
Despite his many engagements and residence in Africa, he did not forget the country that had embraced him and in which he was raised. Therefore, whenever an opportunity arose, due to the position this city held for him and also to visit the graves of his ancestors, grandfather, grandmother, and teachers, he would visit Shibam. On every trip, the people of Shibam would also wait for him at the city entrance and welcome him in an extraordinary manner.

== Teachers ==
He moved between the cities of Hadramaut in pursuit of knowledge and learned from its scholars and elders, just as he learned from the scholars of Zanzibar. Among his teachers are:<ref>Al-Mashhur, Abu Bakr bin Ali. Lawami' al-Nur. Part II. Sana'a, Yemen: Dar al-Muhajir. Page 48.</ref>
