Ahmed Abdelqader Maghrebi, known as Hassafi Maghrebi, was a member of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood.
Biography
He joined the movement in 1945 AD upon the invitation of the Muslim Brotherhood in Damanhur, Beheira Governorate. He married and God granted him 6 children, 17 grandchildren. He says regarding the honor of membership in the Muslim Brotherhood's call: "If it were not for the virtue of the Muslim Brotherhood's call upon me, I would have forgotten the Quran and sat alone in my house, without brothers or faith bonds or advocacy among the people, and my role would have been limited to my profession and the walls of my house".
Arrest
He was arrested in 1948 AD along with his brothers, and when the group returned, he was one of those who strove to republish this call. Then he was arrested during Nasser's time, and with the group's return to work during Sadat, he participated with them in legal work. His Quran recitation possessed gentleness and sweetness, and his memory remained strong until his death.
Imam of the Damanhur Brothers
He played a unique role in uniting the people, which earned him the nickname "Imam of the Damanhur Brothers". He would not enter a mosque in the city of Damanhur in Beheira Governorate unless he came there most of the time to lead the prayer.
Death
He passed away on Wednesday, the 4th of Shawwal 1438 AH, corresponding to 28 June 2017 AD.
