He received a traditional education in fiqh and the sciences of Islam, Iman and Ihsan. He was Maliki in fiqh, Ash'ari in 'aqida and Darqawi-Shadhili in tariqa. Describing himself, he said:"Allah, may He be exalted said: 'As for the blessing of your Lord - declare it.' So let Muhammad ibn al-Habib, al-Amghari al-Hasani by lineage, dwelling in Fez, the poor slave of his Master, yet enriched by Him with other-than-Him, declare, in speaking of Allah's blessing, that idhn (authorisation) has come to him from Allah and the Messenger of Allah and all the awliya' of Allah, and that Allah has singled him out with sciences and secrets which only the unique man of Muhammad possesses."He died, may Allah have mercy on him, in 1391/1972 while on the way to Hajj, and is buried in his zawiya in Meknes.
