In an age of fraudulent leaders and tyrants asking thoughtful and respectful questions was never so important. Prophets in the past never refused to answer thoughtful questions that were designed to not only teach others, but to help people to determine if the person before them was really in touch with God and qualified to respond. We invite all aspirants from all faith groups to ask these same questions from their own religious leaders, and then compare answers. God willing, the truth will be apparent and believers can once again unite under one banner of real love and real belief.

Mawlana Sheikh Nazim was born in Larnaka, Northern Cyprus in the year 1922 on the 21st day of April.  He was the mureed and follower of the Great Sultan ul Awliya Sheikh Abdullah Faiz Daghistani who was also the Khatm ul Awliya or the Seal of
Saints.  After the passing away of Sheikh Abdullah in the year 1972 Mawlana Sheikh Nazim became the Grandsheikh of the
Naqshbandi Tariqa.  He is now living in Northern Cyprus in Lefke and he is 86 years old.  He is the last Grandsheikh of the
Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Tariqa.  Mawlana Sheikh Nazim is the of our time.  Sufism is the internal aspect and the Essence of Islam.  There have been many Great Sufi Saints who have been famous in the world.  But none of them have traveled as much as Mawlana Sheikh Nazim, who has been all around the world spreading the message of Islam and Sufism. On a modest estimate Mawlana Sheikh Nazim is said to have at least 40 million mureeds or devotees who are following him today.

Ever so often there comes a talent that is born, not developed through training. A pure natural welling of the soul and a gift from the divine. No one can claim credit, only marvel at the inspiration that comes forth through the one blessed with the God given talent to impart that gift to all others. Shaykh Sully is one of those rare people whose heart is connected to a source few of us can reach. His poetry transcends the mind, clearly dwelling in the heart of a faithful servant. His deep verse reminds us of one of the most celebrated oriental poets, Jalahudeen Rumi. These cherished poems never grow old, with layers of meaning newly revealed with each listening.

Available at Sound Vision

A film by James McConnell

He said -"In Islam everyone has a role to play. I don't want my Muslim brothers and sisters to look at me as a hero, as non-Muslims do, but as a Muslim brother." The world famous megastar Hakeem Olajuwon of Houston Rockets, has won two championships and the title of Most Valuable Player of 1994. Hakeem was born in Nigeria. When he was in school he was approached by an American university to lend his talent to NBA. He is loved and respected by his team, the NBA and his fans.

He is the only player in the NBA to refuse to sign a multi-million dollar contract with Nike because the shoes were too expensive. Hakeem wanted a cheaper shoe so that poor children could also afford them.
