SHAYKH NAZIM AL-HAQQANI (More Info)
It was first brought to the West in the 1970s by the Sultan of the Way, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, who began opening up spiritual centers throughout Europe in order to meet the growing need for authentic mystical teachings. Spiritually guided and supported by his Master and all of the previous Masters of the Naqshbandi Golden Chain, Shaykh Nazim has been blessed with an unprecedented spiritual power and responsibility to reach all around the world on his mission of enlightenment. For over 40 years, he has spread his message of peace, love and acceptance to open minds and eager hearts throughout Europe, the Middle East, Central and South East Asia, Africa and North and South America. In 1999, he was elected to a five-year term as co-president of the World Conference on Religion and Peace, and in 2000, he was honoured at the United Nations Millennium Peace Summit in New York.
In 1991, Shaykh Nazim sent his authorized representative, Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, to the United States to lay the foundations of the Naqshbandi Sufi Way in the Americas. Since that time, Shaykh Hisham has opened thirteen Sufi centers in Canada and the United States. He has lectured in many universities about the importance of spirituality in the modern world,
Shaykh Hisham’s efforts in the Americas has been to spread the Sufi teachings of the brotherhood of humanity and the unity of belief in One God that is present in all religions and spiritual paths. His efforts are directed at bringing the diverse spectrum of religions and spiritual paths into harmony and accord, in recognition of humanity’s responsibility to take care of this planet and of one another. Shaykh Hisham has authored many books on Sufism for readers in English, including: The Naqshbandi Sufi Way: History and Guidebook of the Saints of the Golden Chain, and Sufi Science of Self-Realization.
Some of his many specialties include Sufi Meditation or Muraqaba, Chakras of the body, Levels of the Spiritual Heart, Arabic Numerology and Spiritual Healing.
As-Sayed Nurjan brings these ancient knowledges and practices of spirituality back to the seekers of New Age in the context of the extreme materialism of today blended with his wonderful sense of humor. His style is to teach without teaching. He is an avid reader and a huge lover of spiritual music.
As of 2007 his efforts have been directed to the Vancouver Sufi Community , to teach the traditional practices of Sufism. As-Sayed Nurjan is author of The Healing Power of Sufi Meditation and a founder of Vancouver’s Sufi Meditation Center
