Book Launch with Habīb Kādhim as-Saqqāf

On 1st September 2023 we were honoured to be joined by Habib Kādhim as-Saqqāf for the launch of Breezes of the Elect. We could not think of a better way to do this than with a Grand Mawlid at Goosedale, Nottingham, attended by over 1,000 people.

In a time where people are frantically seeking a spiritual condition through which they can live a peaceful life, the continuous distraction of a fast-paced society, together with a bombardment of technology, social media and the material leads to occupying the hearts and minds of many.

The escape route can be found in the Holy Qur’ān and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. However, the best way possible which requires no teaching or explanation is to listen to the poems that have been written and compiled by the scholars over many generations.

In these poems are spiritual messages that can uplift the listeners, encouraging personal growth. This collection of varied poems from different regions of the Muslim world are sang and listened to in many gatherings of the scholars and broadcast by most Islamic networks that are listened to today.

It is indeed a fantastic collection with translation and transliteration, for those who understand Arabic and those who don’t.

Shaikh Ahmad Bābikar

Rumi's Cave

Sacred spiritual poetry is intended to soften our hearts and remind us of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.

We have the opportunity through this blessed collection to resemble the Companions who recited poetry directly before our Prophet ﷺ.

May Allah Most High place abundant blessings in this endeavour and make it a means for us to experience the reality of the blessed words found in these poems.
