Parents praise for Imam Al Ghazli Book Project

Imam al-Ghazali continues to be a teacher for one and all for centuries.

The al-Ghazali Children’s Project also continues to grow and flourish interactively with its volumes for the young on character refinement.

The project has evolved into a key element in the much needed paradigm shift for effective character refinement and beautiful education for the young.

Countless letters from parents to the publisher note that this condensation and simplification of the essential teachings of Imam al-Ghazali have made it possible for them to realize these meaningful and universal truths in their own lives.  For more check out https://ghazalichildren.org/

Reunion with inspiration Shems Friedlander

 

 

Reunion with Sidi Shems Friedlander during a  pre opening visit to his upcoming artwork and photo exhibit ‘Winter Harevst.’ He has been an inspiration to generations of students at AUC as well as readers of his classic books and viewers of his documentaries. A personal inspiration with his work on Mawlana Rumi in service to and abiding love for The One. His nine books include classics such as When You Hear Hoofbeats, Think of a Zebra Talks on Sufism and Rumi and the Whirling Dervishes.  Deeply appreciative to his contribution of the foreword of Canvas of the Soul and his ma’rifah, wisdom and continued inspiration on several levels.

Nightly Pilgrimage………….We go on a pilgrimage… every night..with the turning

“We go on a pilgrimage
every night
with the turning of the sailing stars
and the dawn of the day
the pilgrimage of the soul
tugs and pulls
in the Realm of Love”
excerpt from – Nightly Pilgrimage
