Saggaf bin Muhammad Aljufri

Habib Sayyid Saggaf bin Muhammad Aljufri, M.A. was an Indonesian Islamic scholar from Palu who was born in Pekalongan. He was one of the respected people among the society and was often visited by state officials to discuss religious and national issues. Public figures visited him especially when Alkhairaat held a ceremonial to remember the death (haul) of Habib Sayyid Idrus bin Salim al-Jufri or commonly known among the public as "Guru Tua". Like on 1 September 2012, when on 44th ceremonial to remember the death of Guru Tua, Minister of Religion Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Suryadharma Ali visited Aljufri at his residence in Palu and discussing the matter of the Islamic flow of Sunni and Shia, Aljufri welcomed him kindly. The discussion occurred after problems arose regarding the conflict between Sunni and Shiite Islam after the clash which killed a resident in Sampang Regency, Madura Island. In addition to frequent dialogue with Sunni figures, Aljufri also often discussed with several Shia figures, even he received several visits of Shiite figures at his residence.
