Dear Friends,

Please join us this Sunday, February 26th, 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm EST (New York); 9:00 – 10:30 pm CET (Paris) for a very special event with Dr. Carl Ernst, Dr. Mbaye Lo and Pir Zia as they explore Who Brought Sufism to the West? Discovering Omar ibn Said.

Join us for this unique opportunity to explore parallel Sufi teachings from West Africa. Before Hazrat Inayat Khan arrived in North America, in the early 1800s an enslaved Muslim man, Omar ibn Said, arrived on this continent. New scholarship unveils his Sufi connections!

Scholars Dr. Carl Ernst and Dr. Mbaye Lo will share the findings of their research into Omar ibn Said’s life including a sermon in verse by Abu Madyan, the most popular Sufi saint of North Africa; a theological poem by a disciple of the great Al-Sanusi; and an esoteric poem on the divine names from Egypt, along with works on Maliki law and theology.

This event requires pre-registration with donation and complimentary ticket options. More information and sign up details can be found here.

Hope to see you there!

I have signed up for this presentation but the link provided does NOT go to ZOOM. It goes through Eventbright through a web browser and this does NOT work with my software.
I really want to attend this program, but would need the DIRECT Zoom link, or the meeting number and passcode.

I did email about this about a week ago but do not see a reply.

I hope someone sees this and can provide the accessible link or info.

xoxoFattah!
