A masterful analysis of the continued economic and political imprisonment and rape of continental Africa. Shaykh Abdalqadir's penetrating insight opens new vistas into the African situation and proposes a transformative way out of the current malaise. " What is the new colonialism? It is this. Niger is a free 'self-governing' state. The french extract uranium to support their entire nuclear power system in France which keeps their country one of the most powerful among northern nations. Niger remains one of the world's poorest countries and gets absolutely no benefit from this rapacious policy. Travel is forbidden within the country and visitors are forbidden by law from staying as guests of its citizens - 'designated natives'!

Letter to an African Muslim

Shaykh Abdalqadir As-Sufi

Knowledge of God is a lucid and profound exposition of the gnostic science that lies at the heart of Sufism. A guide book to khalwa, spiritual retreat, preparing the murid by the doctrine of the Unity for the experiences that will befall him in the self-shattering annihilation he desires (meaning the spiritual elevation coupled with ridding oneself of his ego and living a Godly, saintly, pious, peaceful life). Shaykh al-Alawi has taken ibn al-Ashir s verse poem, itself a summation of Islamic teachings, and made it a vehicle for making plain the unitary knowledge, the hidden doctrine, that lies beneath every phenomenon of outer wisdom. Thus he is able to unveil from even the lowest functions of cleaning the body an exalted meaning which indicates the Oneness of his Lord. Above all, this is a book of action constantly returning the Gnostic traveller to slavehood, covering over his secrets and concealing the intoxicating knowledge that he gained. It confirms the simple qualities of correct moral behaviour that are the hallmarks of the great.

The means to the dismantling of the suicide pact in which this age seems trapped can be found in these pages. Here is a method, the application of which brings liberation - not, as is clear from the book's central theme, an apolitical freedom, but a total transformative restoration of man as a human animal who is benign to his own inwardness and to the outwardness of his brothers. He is in no danger to society and society can not endanger him.

Handbook on Islam is a manual on how to establish Islam, with understanding, by the famous West African Shaykh who led the jihad (struggle in the way of Allah) which established the Muslim Khalifate in Northern Nigeria in the 18th century. This is the three-dimensional way of Islam, Iman and Ihsan that emerged from Madinah and was the light for the whole of the West, from the Bilad as-Sudan, including Nigeria, right up to Andalus, modern-day Spain, an Islam that holds law, spirituality and a clear intellectual tradition in balance. This book then is another manual, a handbook on the practice of Islam, on the parameters of what needs to be known about Allah and His Messengers, and on the Sufic path of purification of the heart and self from the qualities that obscure their luminous reality and which veil them from Allah.This edition contains an additional text: al-Masa'il al-Muhimma. Uthman dan FodioShehu Usman was born into a highly cultured family in 1168/1754. His father was Muhammad ibn Salih, known generally as Fodio. His mother was Hawwa bint Muhammad ibn Usman. The Shaykh read the Qur'an with his father, learned al-Ishriniyyah and similar works with his shaykh, 'Uthman, known as Biddu al-Kabawi. He learned syntax and the science of grammar from al-Khulasah and other works at the hand of Shaykh 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn Hammada. He read al-Mukhtasar with his paternal and maternal uncle, Uthman, known as Bidduri. Later he learnt from a number of shaykhs, most significantly Jibril ibn 'Umar, the major collections of hadith, fiqh and tasawwuf.He led a movement for the renewal of Islam in west Africa and founded a caliphate, establishing all the offices of a functioning polity, in the process writing a large number of books on the various issues confronting his people at the various points of their struggle.
