friends, dato and tansri,
shaykh ninowy from atlanta , georgia,usa, originally born and breed from aleppo, syria.
formerly an assoc prof in biochemistry and anatomy, and steeped in the oral tradition of the ugama under the tutelage of his late father and many well known scholars in the tradition, shaykh ninowy is a founder of madina institute based in usa.
syria, before the 'rape' by usa and the allies, even with blemish, carbuncle and all, was then still the centre of learning. now people are bathing and drinking in their own sewer.
thanks to america and the west, with their dirty fingers, planning and forever scheming!
but back to our subject , shaykh ninowy.....
a frequent visitor to our shores, i had the extreme priveledge of meeting him personally some three years back in ipoh, and took ba'yah with the shaykh.
His lineage is traced back to the prophet Muhammad [pbuh], through his grandson Hussein ibn Ali by way of Musa al-Kadhim. this is the reason why i feel very priveledged...to get ilm from one who has touch the the hand of another, and another , and another, and another...a contigous, unbroken chain of oral tradition, and finally all traced back to rasullallah [pbuh].
'stations of zikr', will be the last instalment on the subject of zikr, after which we will move on to surah al jathiyah....and an appropriate one too as shaykh ninowy is a seasoned'traveler and teacher of the path'.
do enjoy this very profound discourse from a practitioner and tok guru himself!
