About Me

Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi, (b 1930, Ayr, Scotland) family name Ian Dallas, is a Shaykh of Tarbiyah (Instruction), leader of the Darqawi-Shadhili-Qadiri Tariqa, founder of the Murabitun World Movement and author of numerous books on Islam, Sufism (Tasawwuf) and political theory. Born in Scotland, he was a playwright and actor before he accepted Islam in 1963 with the Imam of the masjid at the Masjid al-Qarawiyyin (Qarawiyyin Mosque) in Fes, Morocco.
Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi has been actively spreading Islam since that time and has students all over the world in both Muslim and non-Muslim lands. He continues to write; among his latest publications are 'The Book of Tawhid', 'Ian Dallas Collected Works' and 'The Time of the Bedouin â€“ on the politics of power' (as Ian Dallas). His commentary on current events and issues affecting Muslims in different parts of the world can be found on his website. He currently resides in Cape Town, South Africa where he holds regular gatherings of Dhikr and instruction in the Islamic sciences.
Shaykh Abdalqadir has been calling people to Allah for more than 30 years now. He has students and murids all over the world in Muslim and non-Muslim lands. He is a Shaykh of the Shadhili - Darqawi Tariqah. His Idhn (authorization) comes from two Shaykhs. Shaykh Muhammad ibn al-Habib of Morocco, who was his first Shaykh and who made him his Muqaddim (representative) in the West, and Shaykh Muhammad al-Fayturi Hamudah who "by his authority joined together the two separate branches of the Habibiyya and the'Alawiyya, so that they have become again by Allah's overflowing generosity, the Darqawiyya."
Some of the books he has written over the past 30 years:
The Way of Muhammad
'Indications From Signs
The Hundred Steps
Qur'anic Tawhid
Letter to An African Muslim
Kufr - An Islamic Critique
Root Islamic Education
For the Coming Man
The Return of the Khalifate
The main contribution of Shaykh Abdalqadir has been to reintroduce the concept of Zakat, its collection in real value money and the concept of non-usurious Islamic economy as originally understood and practised by the inhabitants of the blessed city of Medina in the time of the holy Prophet of Islam PBUH.
